The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot 2.0
About This Machine
The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot 2.0 is not a standalone pinball machine but a licensed conversion kit released by Dutch Pinball of Reuver, The Netherlands, in November 2014. It was designed to "upgrade" Williams' 1991 classic 'The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot' by replacing its alphanumeric score displays with a DMD (dot matrix display) and improving its speakers.
Once installed, the only externally visible change to the machine when powered off is a Dutch Pinball logo on the speaker grills; the underlying game, playfield, and rules remain those of the original 1991 Williams machine. The kit itself evolved over its production run, including a later switch from a monochrome DMD to a color DMD, and a planned speaker improvement that was ultimately never put into production.
Because it modifies an existing Solid State classic rather than introducing new gameplay, Bride of Pin·bot 2.0 is best understood as a niche upgrade product for owners of the original machine rather than a new title in its own right. Precise details about how many combinations of the kit were sold remain unclear, as manufacturer information received on the subject was submitted anonymously and could not be verified further.
