Williams Road Show

The 1994 Williams machine features two large, animatronic talking heads named Ted and Red, who act as the primary characters directing the gameplay. Designed by Pat Lawlor, the machine uses these characters to taunt the player and call out specific shot locations throughout the demolition-themed game.

The main objective is to travel across the United States by hitting specific ramps that represent various cities, eventually making your way from the east coast to the west. The ultimate goal is to complete various demolition jobs across the country and trigger the game's final wizard mode.

No, breaking away from traditional pinball design, Pat Lawlor designed Road Show with a three-flipper layout, including two main flippers and a smaller upper flipper near the top of the playfield. This third flipper is crucial for making precise shots to the side ramps and advancing the city progression.

Road Show is built around a humorous, road-construction demolition theme, heavily inspired by the idea of a massive cross-country road trip. The playfield artwork integrates elements like detour signs, construction equipment, and license plates to build out its quirky, working-class aesthetic.
