Wow, Steve, that looks great! But I would expect nothing less.

What pin did that start life as?

Congratulations!

Great work Steve. Amazing. It's just incredibly disappointing that Pinnovating will not bother to find a way to get the code/game to the masses. They're just going to let it die with a few machines. I offered good cash for code but they don't want to bother with licensing and don't want the hassle of emails, questions. Fine. They could have given back to the pinball community and just made the code available for free (open source freeware? DIY project?) IF nothing else but apparently aren't going to. They made a great game though. I hope someone else makes another Matrix that can actually be shared with others.

Curious what is considered good cash these days.

Sweeeeet! Er um I mean Pinovating!

This is my Big Bang Bar! (No drool emoticon available).

AWESOME!!

mine's next...

Amazing Job, Steve!

While I agree with your sentiment, you don't have to have such an entitled attitude about it. It's basically a fan project...they don't owe anything to anyone. Maybe they're still exploring possibilities

"Are you listening to me Neo? Or were you watching the woman in the red dress?"

Steve, you did an amazing job.

I'm a little jealous now (-;

Topper????

The game looks friggen amazing. Awesome theme, toys, sounds, layout, art...basically it has it all. Someone needs to mass produce these.

Yeah. How cool is that?

Looks nice

Steve. Great job! Just wondering if you can go into a little detail regarding what makes this game so immersive? Sad so many of us will never get a chance to play it. Thanks, Ant

I was fortunate to see and play it and I have to tell you it is so cool - It is almost like you are in the movie, the animations, lights, everything - great job Steve

I guess it's always hard to convey emotion in a post or email. I don't feel entitled. I just feel disappointed as I stated.

I threw out an offer of $2500 for just the code, nothing else. I probably would have gone higher if they countered. I think they're afraid of supporting the code (and the countless email questions that would come with it) and the licensing issues. But licensing isn't an issue if you "give" the code away (for a donation, for example.) And I personally wouldn't have expected any support.

how awesome is this game, thanks for sharing

I saw the pin at Steve's house, it's amazing, there has been so much work put into it someone is getting a work of art.

That thing is SICK.

The sour grapes feeling is understandable though. It might be a one-off and the creators can do what they want, but so many people were excited for this and then it didn't go anywhere. What a bummer.

I know they can do whatever they feel like and that's fine. But how cool would it be if they just put the code out there as freeware for pinball DIY'ers?? There would be zero licensing issues if given out for free. It would create a huge buzz I think. We could have a whole community of folks making their own Matrix games and sharing ideas. Now THAT would be good for pinball. Heck, they've already stated they're not building any more games and have zero plans to do anything more. So why not just put the code out there for free?

Totally amazing! I've been following this for awhile and it looks totally complete now.

The amount of work to create this must have been enormous! I would love one of these in my basement... I'm a big fan of the movie.

WTG! You must be very proud of your creation. Gameplay looks exciting.

Any chance you live near CT and want me to come over and play??? Looks fun.

fantastic work, great to see all those extra artwork and LED colors, it's a beauty

Huh?! How do you figure?

If they give away Matrix sound and video assets for free there's no licensing issues? In what universe?! Warner Bros is just going to ignore it?

May as well distribute the movie, sounds, and music in some sort of 'peer 2 peer' sharing system where we can all just give copyrighted assets away for free...

HOLY SHEEP-SHANK!!! Awesome job yet again. BUT, would you expect anything less?

Does ANYONE do it better than the Refinery? Uhhhh I think not.

Once again. We aren't gonna do a kit.
We aren't gonna sell or give away the software.
It's just the way it is.

If you wanna play it, you have to visit a show where the US owner brings it or play it in the Netherlands on several occasion like the Dutch pinball open on 1&2 november.
I've brought it to the expo last year, Belgium pinball open, dutch pinball open, and NERG (UK)
Probably i'm gonna take it to some others events.
Another Dutch owner is bringing it to the UK with Easter at a big event there.

Steve, Again. You did an amazing job.

If there is an "owner" in the US then you have already done one or the other ... you either sold it or gave it away, no? Sounds contradicting to me, but okay, understood.

I actually love that this game exists, is super rare, and not everyone can have it. Our culture has turned into nothing but entitled babies who think they should have access to something just because they have the money for it. No matter how much you tip the maitre'd, you're not getting a seat in this restaurant...I like that.

And Hemi is right...the buyers were most likely told you will have one of 3, or one of 5...that's all. And they probably spent like $15,000 for one. The only person who has any right to be upset is the Movie Studio, but why would they care? Their franchise is now one of the rarest pinball machines ever and it's drumming up nothing but free press for them. Now, a mass produced game would be sweet, but then it would just be another mass produced game and it would not be that special.

The world needs more limited, limited games. Needs more stuff we "can't" have...We need, as a society, to hear the word "NO" more often. Otherwise we grow up and act like spoiled, entitled babies our whole lives. Well done HEMI, game is ridic and I can't wait to play it sometime in the future.

Zucht, ik krijg er echt de scheit van.

Use Google translate on that one

Sigh, You are tired of this sh.t???

AWESOME!! Thanks for all your hard work and making an awesome machine!!!! I feel blessed to have seen and played it and see it at expo - thanks again

Its saying you spelled schijt wrong. What's up with that?

BTW, great work on the game.

So it does matter how much you tip, you just need to tip high enough and know the right people, as with anything in life.

What Kaneda says to every pin deal that's offered to him.

I sure as heck don't speak German, but am I right in thinking that loosely translated this means...STFU???

All that being said... if bartering in trust alone, I could cover the cost. Sadly that other pesky part of the equation is well beyond my means hehe

Please call the waaaahmbulance... I want one of these badly. Would be sweet next to my LOTR, another awesome theme. Would be cool to play one though just for the experience too

Das ist sehr schone. Wunderbar!

It's insane. I wish I had the money to hire you for 6 months creating something unique. Pretty cool opportunity you had there and do hope people with deep pockets hire you for more of these one of a kind products. With all the great feedback people are giving you here quite sure you will get more of these to do. Saddly we might loose a lot of your time for our Refinery Editions. Bah still have my Met Pro numero 4 Refinery Edition and got all your mods for my AC/DC Premium and these are my 2 best pins. So happy happy happy.

Great job Steve
