Homebrew Showcase: The Matrix Pinball at Pinball Expo 2026
Summary
First-time homebrew builders show a whitewood Matrix-themed pinball machine at Pinball Expo 2026, developed virtually in VPX.
Marco Pinball's Pinball Expo 2026 homebrew showcase features a whitewood, first-time build of a Matrix-themed pinball machine by Phil Moore (lead designer and software) and Manu (screen, sound, rules). The game was developed virtually in VPX before physical construction, with hosts and creators discussing design choices, burned-out coils, and remaining to-do items like a subway, drop targets, and a ball lock.
Phillip Moore's The Matrix homebrew pinball machine began as a playable Visual Pinball table, and this is the team's first whitewood. At PINDEVCON 2026 inside Pinball Expo 2026, Phillip shows off the red pill or blue pill difficulty choice, the upper playfield, and what a show crowd taught him. Want to build your own game?
