About This Machine

"Walk" is not a released pinball machine but an unrealized concept from Pinstar, dated to 1985. It was never produced. According to artist Seamus McLaughlin, the surviving images are concept drawings he created while also working on the artwork for Pinstar's 1985 title 'Gamatron.' McLaughlin had been in contact with Steve Kirk about potential new game ideas for Pinstar at the time.

Because "Walk" never advanced beyond the concept stage, no playfield layout, ruleset, or finished artwork exists, and nothing is documented about its intended gameplay, features, or theme. It is best understood as a historical curiosity: a glimpse into the kind of concept work circulating around Pinstar, a short-lived Solid State Electronic-era manufacturer (1985-1986), rather than an actual, playable machine.

For collectors and historians, "Walk" is notable chiefly as an example of the design ideas that never made it to production during Pinstar's brief run, offering insight into the company's creative process even though the game itself was never built.
