It's pretty dang nice. The guy manning the booth said they have "serious plans" for a cab friendly PC version "soon", but when I pressed him and I mentioned that I was just starting to put together parts for a vpin cabinet, he said "Well, it might be done by the time you finish collecting all your parts" :)
For me, that might be months :-\
But still, this game really did look good. I particularly liked the way the camera followed the ball. It seemed much better "orchestrated" and natural than what I've seen futurepinball or Visual Pinball (although I really like both of those games too).
Maybe it'll help spur on some new stuff in those open source projects.

if they make cabinet friendly i would be all for it. hopefully it would work with an ledwiz for contactors and such. also it would be nice if it works with 3 monitors and has an animated backglass. oh and works with russ's usb board for driving a real dmd. alot of tall orders to fill. we will see how it works.

I would bet that you could set your camera up to work with a cabinet. Moving the DMD to another screen would be a maybe I would think. The backglass would probably just be an image loaded by a frontend. I would doubt they would bother with ledwiz and creating ROMs for the DMD board. Who knows what they will actually do though? I would be really happy with just about anything they come up with, even if it means playing the games in my MAME cabinet instead of the Pinball cabinet. They are advertising a windows version of the games on their website, so we should get something decent from them.

It is unlikely but they could be using the rom. I dont think the license of Pinmame wouldn allow this though.

I have this for my Android phone and my iPad. I bought the version of Black Hole for the iPad. I'm going to buy Medeval Madness for the Android as soon as the free trial month ends.
