Thanks for sharing, Antonio. This machine looks VERY cool! A lot of the artwork aspects are very reminiscent of Verne's World, which is awesome.

As a rare game collector (especially foreign-made machines), this is right up my alley. Not much time for me to come up with the funds though....

Actually, there isn't any traveling machine in VW (assuming you mean time traveling). There are indeed many similarities in the artwork though.....Most notably is the submarine. It looks almost identical to the submarine toy and artwork in VW. Next you have Jules Verne's bearded face between the flips and Capatain Nemo's bearded face in the same spot.

Then there's the globe/model of earth artwork on both machines, and also the depictions of divers in old time diving suits. And last but not least, the giant squid/octopus. Quite a few similarities....

Just to be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Both machines have great artwork and do their respective themes justice. I'm just pointing this stuff out for the fun of it.

I'm really glad this thread didn't die like it appeared it might after my first reply. I'm also glad that Martin wrote up a great article. Small pin runs like this deserve lots of attention, and I hope this machine sells well. Now, how to come up with the money in time for the release of this machine....

Yeah, there is actually a hot air balloon toy and artwork on there too.

Thanks for the kind words, Lee. I'm glad I got yet another person interested in these great games. They are so overlooked and that's really sad because they had some of the best toys, themes, and artwork of the 80's & 90's.

I second this! There are indeed many of us that are very interested. Please keep the updates coming. I very much look forward to seeing the completed prototype.

Spain has always been a strong market for pins. There's a lot of collectors there, and there's been a boatload of manufacturers there over the years too....but yeah, things do seem to be perking up even more lately.

I just wish I could afford this one right now. It's looking great! I hope to see more from Quetzal in the future. Please do a haunted house type theme next! I'll find a way to afford that.

Verne's World is awesome, but very rare. Only 7 known to exist, currently. Unfortunately mine is out of commision for a while, and I can't wait to get it going again.

Anyway, the music in the game is really cool and might be worth installing in Nemo...if you can find someone that can do that sort of thing.
