for this episode of Pas times pinball
history we're going to feature this
1984 wo
aftor some people think that this is
wo's only pinball machine they ever made
technically not true seven years earlier
they released a game called Big Top
which was a three4 size game so this is
their actual only fullsize game that
they released what makes this game
historically significant if you look
here this is the very first game that
actually had alpha numeric displays a
pinball machine for that matter in the
back box so you see here says wo
presents aor there was a game that
preceded this that would be hyperball
1981 so this is a 1984 however the
difference on that is some people don't
actually consider it to be a pinball
machine and the alpha numeric display
was actually in the Playfield so this is
in the back box it was actually used for
scoring so it's 1984 some people think
that Williams highp speeded was the very
first game that had alpha numeric
displays in the back box in fact there
was another game even before that 1985
Premier formerly got leag released the
Chicago Cubs triple play game then the
next year high speed was released so
it's really interesting to me that alpha
numeric displays first existed on a game
called hyperball Williams game 1981 but
then didn't resurface on a Williams game
until
1986 come on in a pass time arcade check
