Profile

Matrix is a licensed pinball game in development by Jersey Jack Pinball based on an IP property. The project faced significant feasibility challenges due to limited available assets from the license holder (only name and movie poster). While a homebrew VPX adaptation has been undertaken in development, the official Jersey Jack version remains unlikely to reach production due to actor rights complexity and insufficient intellectual property materials.
