Fire the cannons — Cannon Lagoon is a thoroughly modern machine from Multimorphic, built for the innovative P3 platform, wrapped in a swashbuckling pirate-adventure theme. Conceived by Gerry Stellenberg and Thomas Law with a team including Scott Gullicks on design and art by Chris Ancarrow and Jeremy Wilson, it’s a genuinely forward-looking title from one of the most technologically ambitious manufacturers in modern pinball.
Multimorphic’s P3 platform is the real story here, and it makes Cannon Lagoon unlike almost anything else in the hobby. The P3 is a modular system with a large interactive LCD embedded in the playfield itself, blending physical pinball with dynamic video elements in a way that enables entirely new kinds of gameplay — and lets a single cabinet host multiple swappable games. Cannon Lagoon, built around timed play and a fun pirate theme, uses that interactive playfield to create an experience that fuses the physical and digital, a modern reimagining of what a pinball machine can be. It represents the cutting edge of the medium, where a passionate independent maker pushes the technology forward.
Cannon Lagoon is a fascinating example of modern pinball’s inventive spirit, a machine from a boutique manufacturer boldly rethinking the fundamentals with its interactive-LCD playfield. That swashbuckling pirate theme makes it an inviting showcase for the P3’s ambitious technology. For the collector or player who loves the innovative, forward-looking edge of the hobby, it’s a genuinely intriguing find — a glimpse of one possible future for the game. Fire the cannons, explore that interactive playfield, and plunder the lagoon. Some machines honor pinball’s past; this one reimagines its future. Set sail into tomorrow and drop a coin.
