Homebrew Showcase: Masters of the Universe Pinball at Pinball Expo 2026
Summary
Steven shows an early-stage Masters of the Universe homebrew at Pinball Expo 2026, inspired by Stern's Cheetah and Trident layouts.
Marco Pinball, with co-host Jamie and Ralfie, interviews Steven, creator of a Masters of the Universe homebrew pinball machine shown at Pinball Expo 2026. The game is an early-stage, early-1980s-styled prototype using a Fast board, with a layout inspired by Stern Electronics' Cheetah and Trident, and the creator plans to add artwork, multiball, a scoop, and more rules before next year's show. The segment also touches on the growth of the homebrew scene.
Steven Kowal's Masters of the Universe homebrew pinball machine pairs a Cheetah-style five-bank with a reverse Trident lower playfield in a classic early-80s Stern style. At PINDEVCON 2026 inside Pinball Expo 2026, Steven shows the layout days after getting it together, and shares what's next.
