Williams Electronics has intro-
duced Road Kings, a motorcycle-
themed pinball with multi-ball play, a
new "time lock" feature , and a new
sound system.
Players can begin multi-ball play
and double scoring by locking up two
balls. By locking up two balls again
during multi-ball play, they start the
time lock, which raises a power ramp
for "mega" scoring and an extra ball. A
detour ramp and a "power kick" also
contribute to game play.
The new sound system in Road
Kings features real-band audio repro-
duction , different themes orches-
trated for different features , motor-
cycle revs , and taunting speech.
The backglass and pivoting play-
field are easily accessible for service.
The machine's automatic switch
testing identifies a malfunctioning
switch, reprograms play around it,
and spells out on the alphanumeric
display the switch needing repair. The
display also provides instructions to
players and adjustable-feature infor-
mation to operators . Automatic
replay percentaging is offered.
