Hi everybody,
I'd like to show you what I've been working on for quite some time now. Something different. A mini pinball cabinet that uses your Ipad. Accessible for everybody. No fiddling with software, no bootup time from computers, no power cord needed, can be placed anywhere...
Not everybody has the room and money to buy a real pinball machine or a big Vpin cabinet. Let alone multiple. So there you go. This minipin has an analog plunger and supports nudging. And works with ALL Ipad pinball apps.
The photo is of a current prototype. There is still work to be done but development is almost finished. The final version will look nicer I am planning for a Kickstarter.
I really like pinball and currently own several machines. I also like digital and VR pinball. I think there is room for both. But playing with a tablet or a keyboard doesn't give me that minimum of pinball feeling that I need. So that's the story. I want to make sure many more people can enjoy pinball at home. Inside are custom electronics and software. And it's really important how it looks, how it feels, how it plays. I think many existing digital pinball cabinets are expensive and are all more or less the same. They strive too hard to be exactly like a real machine while by nature they are not. I want to change that. The minipin is so small it doesn't need to be exactly like a real pinball machine. But it's really fun to play!
Well, let me know what you think. Please not the old debate real VS virtual
thanks.
Ben
