Hey Pinside!

I am super excited because today I get to share my passion project with you!

Welcome to the 'What Could Have Pin' megathread! A hypothetical pinball podcast hosted by pinball enthusiast and yours truly, Cam McMillion. Each episode, we will explore a franchise that should have had a pinball machine made, but never got the chance to see the light of day. We will discuss everything from cabinet art and playfield layout to callouts that would have appeared in the game.

And here's my favorite part, YOU will get to discuss here on Pinside and on Facebook(but let's be serious, probably mostly on Pinside ) what you liked or didn't like about the design and your own thoughts on what cool features a game might have had! This will transform the podcasting experience from the traditional one-to-many model, and instead get everyone involved in the creative process!

So please, give it a listen, a like and a review! Episodes will be up every other Thursday and, with your help, it will continue to get better and better! And of course, let's hear your thoughts in the comments below for our first ever episode, HARRY POTTER PINBALL MACHINE!

Thanks J85M, let me know what you think!

This is some awesome pinball folklore! I wonder how the game would be received today if it had been made. My guess would be similar to Rollercoaster Tycoon, which is no longer really a relevant IP. People seem to enjoy the game, but the theme isn't one most people are on the hunt for.

I've heard this one! Apparently part of the reason the character on the backglass has very masculine features. Would love to see the cabinet art!

Thanks so much!!!

Yea I've always wanted to see someone convert a Gladiator into the original Zelda design!

As someone whose second hobby is Magic, this is an awesome thing to see! Thanks for sharing!

Also, we need more haunted house/horror themed games. So much potential. I will be doing special episodes for the month of October that specifically deal with these themes. The 2 that I have picked already are pretty ripe with opportunity!

"Grandma, why are your printouts so big?!"

"All the better to visualize my ideas with deary! Also, grandma don't see too good!"

Episode 2 of What Could Have Pin will be dropping this week! Now with even more visuals!
