ABOUT

For several Williams games (especially before 1987), Speech Processing was a separate task than Software Programming and may have been done by a different person than whom we list as having done the Software. Paul Dussault did the Speech Processing for this game. System 6A is a System 6 board without IC9 and IC10 and provides for 7-digit score displays. The prototype game pictured here has serial number 437878 stamped in the wood below the coin door. Its playfield plastics are all contoured, not flat, and have the part number on each. All three kick-out holes are yellow plastic, like the game in the flyer. Missing from the playfield are the name of the game and the copyright. This information is printed on production games near the drop target inserts. The game in the flyer is also missing this printing. In the Files section of this listing are images of a promotional pack of playing cards given to collector Federico Croci by artist Tony Ramunni while visiting the Mr. Game pinball factory in 1991. The pack is marked as made in U.S.A. and very likely was produced by/for Williams.

Multiply the Royal Flush value by completing Kings in the top lanes. Get the drops in order for 400k max. Shoot the blue target for bonus X.

Top flipper on the right set can be staged. Catch, then slowly release the button to drop the upper flipper and feed the ball to the lower.

If the bank has dropped in value from out of order hits. Hitting an in-order drop will restore 20K (un-multiplied) to the value

It's safer to cradle the ball with the left hand flipper; it'll pass between the right flippers
