High Speed brings the classic 1986 Williams pinball machine to the NES. Released in 1991 and developed by Rare, this fast-paced table challenges you to run the red light, escape police pursuit, and score the jackpot. The port faithfully recreates the original arcade table’s layout while introducing new video game elements, such as enemy cars and bomb-dropping helicopters on the playfield.
How to Play
Launch the ball and aim for the targets to change the traffic light from green to yellow, and finally to red. Once you run the red light, a high-speed police chase beginsโescape the cops by successfully completing the ramp shots. The standard NES controls map the D-pad to your arrow keys, A and B to the Z and X keys, and Start and Select to Enter and Shift. Use the D-pad and action buttons to control the flippers and plunger.
Tips
- Hitting the main ramp repeatedly builds up the jackpot, which is the key to setting a new high score.
- Watch out for the police helicopters that drop bombs on the table, as their explosions will drastically alter the trajectory of your ball.
