Williams Star Wars Episode One

[@pepijn23]

My swimming pool used to have one in their restaurant until the building was demolished and I remember play it a few times when I was a young child.

[@MrIveyIsBonkers]

Williams was way ahead of its time. Color displays weren't much of a thing until the early 2010s, and this is over 10 years older!

[@XMarkxyz]

The display is nothing special, just a normal color crt mounted facing downwards on the particularly big backbox, what you're looking at it's the reflection of the monitor on the glass

One of the best parts of this machine is that you get to shoot the ball at Jar Jar hologram and knock him down. 😁 People that hate Jar Jar should love this machine because you get to hurt him. I love this machine.

[@jamesguralski5156]

I like the pinball2000 setup wish they would have done more pinball like this. I know they did 3 different games, wizard blocks, attack from Mars and star wars...

[@Daniel.J.Rinander]

*Revenge from Mars. They were also planning a Playboy themed machine.

[@yoshihirogamer]

Man i gotta say that the Pinball 2000 is the best arcade machine of all

[@peppers1587]

Love the music in this game.

[@BenLaurence]

This pin feels more like Star Wars than the actual movie 😅

[@tattyadams]

I'm with you there!!! :-)

[@Foxonian]

Poor Williams. They had such high hopes for this game. All that R&D work and it ended up bombing due to changing tastes at the few arcades that remained back then.

[@WesleyPipes-wc3gl]

It didn’t bomb they sold a lot of pinball 2k machines the problem was Williams wanted out of pinball

[@andresbravo2003]

It was the Last Williams Pinball 2000 Machine ever produced and will come to an end of Pinball Era from WMS Industries to focus on Gambling Machines as of now.

[@editorblue]

That's rad.

[@pepijn23]

My swimming pool had one, but it was sold when the place got demolished.

[@frankrtwiw]

Ah, if Episode I wasn't such a bomb, Pinball 2000 might've had a brighter future...

[@tattyadams]

The game that killed pinball!

[@frankrtwiw]

Ah, well, not exactly.

[@tattyadams]

Ahh, ok fair point, killed Williams then!

[@frankrtwiw]

Maybe it was just the fact that the technology wasn't there yet.

[@King_Henry]

Actually it was just an excuse for the execs at Williams to exclusively produce Slot Machines...money money money. The greed wasn’t coming from the pinball staff at all. Those poor guys and gals.

[@Riz2336]

I played this when it was new and didn't think it was very good.

[@CaptainBZarre]

WEESA DID IT TOGETHER!!! No. Jar Jar. Shut up. Please.

[@tattyadams]

You said it!

[@Daniel.J.Rinander]

I bought this machine last month!

[@tattyadams]

How are you liking it?

[@Daniel.J.Rinander]

Very nice! It's in good shape except it has an early ROM version.

[@jamesguralski5156]

I just found 1 I can get for $2600. Is that good?

[@JohnSmith78098]

This looks like it’s a crazy fun game!!! Not that huge of a fan of the source material and I’m still interested in possibly getting one.

[@thepatsfan2950]

I like it better than rfm

[@chibang492]

I agree. Although probably most people disagree with us, lol. It's not much differant than RFM. Only real big differance on the playfield on RFM is the Ramp in the middle that lifts up and down for shots. And RFM doesnt have a ball plunger, which kind of loses a great part of the pinball experience. I love the music in Star Wars. I just bought Star Wars ep1 machine and i love it.

[@BruceCultureAllen]

@@chibang492 You two are nuts. SW is crap. RFM is a top 20 pinball imo

[@retro_marmota]

@@chibang492 the problem with sw is that almost all shots in the pin are the in, upper center. RFM uses way more diverse shots, like ramps and loops. And the lateral alien targets as well

[@retro_marmota]

besides, the music in sw ep 1 pin is awsome

[@AuH2O]

I usually don't even care for pinball tables with DMD's. Any pinball table with a damn integrated monitor I would pass right over without even trying. Pinball 2000 tried to be two things at once and failed at both.

[@tattyadams]

We all like different stuff, that's what makes people interesting!
