Description

This table pack contains two tables, both themed around vehicles:

Harley-Davidson Third Edition (Stern Pinball, 2004): designed by Lonnie D. Ropp and John Borg (designers of TRON Legacy, Last Action Hero, Striker Xtreme and many other tables from Data East/SEGA/Stern Pinball) this table involves traveling across the US in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. This table is notable for having three different multiball modes: Stop Light Multiball (achieved by getting the stop light on the playfield to go red), Speedometer Multiball (achieved by reaching a certain "speed" by doing a specific ramp shot a certain amount of times) and Harley Multiball (achieved by spelling H-A-R-L-E-Y by hitting a motorcycle a number of times). This table also features renditions of the songs "Born To Be Wild" and "Bad To The Bone", as background music. Reportedly, approximately 300 units of this revision were produced (this has not been confirmed)

Taxi (Williams, 1988): designed by Python Anghelo (designer of Pin*Bot, The Machine: Bride of Pin*Bot, Fish Tales, as well as the art for Joust) and Mark Ritchie (Police Force, Sorcerer, Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure) this table has you playing as a taxi driver picking up a cast of five characters: Pin*Bot, Gorbie (a caricature of former USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev), Dracula, Lola (originally Marylin Monroe on the first units but later changed as Williams management found out that they would have to pay Monroe's estate for use of her likeness) and Santa Claus, which lights the Jackpot. One of its features is the initial "Spinout" skill shot, a funnel that, when the ball rolls all the way through it, advances the value of points from 1000 points up to a hundred thousand, and back again, needing a certain amount of plunge strength. It also has a figure-eight ramp and a constantly rolling taximeter, with the amount awarded as the end-of-ball bonus.
