    Quoted from KornFreak28:

    No not really...It looks amazing though Such a shame only a handful were made

    At least a dozen were made and at least two wound up here in the states. It was a fun game but still was at the mercy of the JM mechanical issues (notably the glove mech.) Maybe someone else noted it but it was based strictly on the first movie and not the next two in the trilogy which was probably a good decision as well.

    Quoted from KornFreak28:

    What makes you think Jack wouldn’t touch this title?

    Jack is only interested in doing uber family friendly themes. Matrix does not fit the bill with all the guns, fighting, killing. No way.

    Quoted from KornFreak28:

    Why is he so opposed to the idea tho? This would make killer money for them! Seems to me that pinball and the Matrix go hand in hand

    Jack has always maintained since starting JJP that he wants to make family friendly themed pins. I think Hobbit was the extent of violence he could tolerate. Matrix is pretty high on the violence scale including lots of guns and language.

    Original Matrix re-theme of JM actually had about 12 made. 2 of those made it to buyers in the U.S if I remember correctly. 1 of those 2 went through Pinball Refinery in Michigan at one point before heading out West. The game was only ever based on the first movie and not the full trilogy. Was really fun but with modern innovation and JJP's attention to high-end details this would be an incredible game!
