Homebrew Showcase: Wallace & Gromit The Pinball Adventure at Pinball Expo 2026
Summary
Homebrew Wallace & Gromit pinball, built from a donor cabinet, debuts at Pinball Expo 2026 in early testing.
Don (Don's Pinball Podcast) interviews Sam, a 26-year-old game design graduate, about his homebrew Wallace & Gromit: The Pinball Adventure, shown at Pinball Expo 2026. The game began as a VPX layout, was built on a donor Warhammer 40K cabinet, and was developed with mentorship from Lynn and others at Pintastic. Sam plans to add modes for the three original films and has ideas for future homebrews, while the game remains in early testing with foam-core parts and no art or speakers yet.
Sam Hilty built Wallace & Gromit: The Pinball Adventure in a $50 upcycled cabinet, with hand-cut plastics and wire forms. At PINDEVCON 2026 inside Pinball Expo 2026, Sam talks with Don from Don's Pinball Podcast about how the game came together and where it goes next.
