I had fun with Johnny Mnemonic when I played it recently. Would love to see/play the Matrix mod that is available.

I had a good few goes on the matrix at a show last year, was awesome and probably the flowiest game I have ever played. Not sure if they made any geometry changes or if the original JM had the same amount of flow?

Anyway, pretty sure there will never be a kit for sale and all machines they made are sold :-(.

I did end up getting that Star Trek (Premium)..

Here's Johnny!

Hey, I bought one of those too. The hand stopped working a couple weeks after I got it though :/

I don't think I can keep up with the rest though lol

Have you guys ever seen the custom conversion of a Johnny Mnemonic to a Matrix table? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feHCKIwfDjo and https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-matrix-pinball-machine-pinnovating/page/11
It's done by a Dutch guy named Gerard van Zanden, who also openened a pinball museum in Rotterdam http://dutchpinballmuseum.com/
I played it once at the DPO and I liked it very much!

Yes I played it at the 2014 play expo in Manchester, very awesome.

If a table has to be destroyed to do a conversion, it better be a good one :) It does mean 1 less Johnny Mnemonic in the world....

All change here this week, out Medusa, Centaur and BSD, in Junkyard and Twilight Zone ( not mine, long term babysitting loaner ). Breaks my heart to sell centaur and medusa but they aren't getting played much, wouldn't sell any machines if space wasn't an issue. Never quite connected with BSD despite almost everyone else loving it.

Yes I did get a good price for both. Broke my heart letting them go but they weren't getting played that often. Contrary to most peoples opinions I actually think medusa is the better game, Centaur is a one trick pony, multiball, multiball, multiball all day long, gets boring after a long game of endless multiball. Both machines have awesome artwork and sounds, I think thats what I will miss the most.

Now we're talking!

Looks like it is almost identical to my old Tron, down to all the same mods. (side mirrors, new bicycles, the arcade, the Flynn sign, pop bumper skirts and of course the fiber optic kit) Did you buy it from Norway by any chance? ;)

I also had complete chrome armor, speaker lights and an le apron btw.

I thought I was the only one crazy enough to spend so much money on Tron Mods

A great machine. There will always be a place in my heart for that machine.

Big Congrats!

To be honest I wouldn't have spent that much on mods, the Eli ramp kit and a shaker would have done me but you rarely see a tron pro for sale in the UK, let alone a bare one with no mods. I know the last 2 owners are uk based but not sure of its history before that. Came with a powered sub too, it awesome with the custom soundtrack. I have a transparent disc coming, thats supposed give the ball a bit more of a kick ;). Also a set of transparent rubbers.
