Description

High Speed

Is a pinball machine released by Williams Electronics in January 1986, designed by Steve Ritchie. The game draws inspiration from Ritchie’s real-life experience of a high-speed police chase, which is reflected in its gameplay and thematic elements. ​

Key Features:

• Innovative Gameplay Mechanics: High Speed was the first pinball machine to feature a complete musical score, alpha-numeric displays, and a playfield-mounted beacon light that simulates police sirens during high-intensity moments.

• Multiball Mode: Players can activate a three-ball multiball mode by running a red light in the game, initiating a police chase scenario that enhances the excitement and challenge.

• Ramp and Freeway Shots: The game incorporates a ramp that players must shoot to “escape” the police, along with freeway shots that increase scoring opportunities and contribute to the game’s fast-paced nature. ​
