Homebrew Showcase: Who Shot Mr. Burns - Simpsons Pinball at Pinball Expo 2026
Summary
Homebrew 'Who Shot Mr. Burns' Simpsons machine shown at Expo 2026, built on MPF/FAST with randomized suspects.
Marco, a homebrew pinball builder and professional artist, showcases his 'Who Shot Mr. Burns' Simpsons homebrew at Pinball Expo 2026, hosted by Jordan (formerly of Fliptronic). He explains the design process (layout first, then themed inserts), the MPF/FAST code base, the randomized suspect mechanic using the show's alternate endings, and the various mini-modes and Moe's/Quickie Mart features. He describes the code as a 1.0 and says it is his personal machine, not a commercial product.
Marco Bucci's Who Shot Mr. Burns homebrew pinball machine picks a new culprit every game from six suspects, with a rotating cooling tower, Moe's, the Kwik-E-Mart and a Treehouse of Horror mini wizard mode. At PINDEVCON 2026 inside Pinball Expo 2026, Marco walks us through the rules and how a professional artist taught himself the rest. Read the full story: Want to build your own game?
