DPP #260 "MAKE MOUNTAIN DEW PINBALL!"

<p>Don’s Pinball Podcast — MAKE MOUNTAIN DEW PINBALL!</p><p><strong>Stern, build this game for the rest of us!</strong></p><p>This episode kicks off with the incredible <strong>Mountain Dew pinball machine Stern built for Barstool Sports</strong>. But after seeing it, I have one big question: <strong>Why can’t WE buy one?</strong></p><p>I make my case for Stern to take the Mountain Dew concept and turn it into a real production game available to the public. The theme, colors, artwork and pure ridiculous fun of Mountain Dew seem absolutely PERFECT for pinball. <strong>Stern — make the game and take my money!</strong></p><p>Then things get paranormal…</p><p>I’ve officially asked <strong>Barrels of Fun</strong> for a <strong>knocker kit for Winchester Mystery House</strong> — but not just for replay knocks. I want to use the knocker to <strong>communicate with the spirit realm!</strong> 👻 Could the machine actually knock back at you as part of the experience? Winchester Mystery House seems like the perfect game to try it.</p><p>I also get into a bigger discussion about <strong>THEME INTEGRATION in pinball</strong>. I compare <strong>Stern, Spooky Pinball and Barrels of Fun</strong> to <strong>Disney, Universal and Six Flags</strong> and look at the very different ways each approaches immersing you in a theme.</p><p>Is it enough to put a great license on a great pinball machine, or should playing the game actually make you feel like you&#39;ve stepped inside that world?</p><p>Lots to unpack in this one!</p><p>🎥 <strong>Check out Don’s Pinball Podcast on YouTube</strong> for the video version, livestreams, unboxings, repairs and more.</p><p>If you enjoy the show and want to help keep Don’s Pinball Podcast independent and growing, <strong>join the Patreon!</strong> Your support directly helps me keep making the podcast, videos, livestreams and all the other nonsense that comes along with it.</p><p><strong>Patreon:</strong> patreon.com/donspinballpodcast</p><p>📧 <strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:donspinballpodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener">donspinballpodcast@gmail.com</a></p><p>And let me know: <strong>Would YOU buy a production Mountain Dew pinball machine from Stern?</strong></p><p><strong>#Pinball #SternPinball #MountainDew #BarstoolSports #DonsPinballPodcast #WinchesterMysteryHouse #BarrelsOfFun #SpookyPinball #PinballPodcast #PinballNews #PinballMachine #PinballCollector #PinballCommunity</strong></p><p>JOIN THE PATREON!</p>
