Stop 'N' Go

"Stop 'N' Go," designed by Norm Clark with artwork by Art Stenholm, was manufactured by Williams in August 1964. This two-player, electro-mechanical machine carries an Automobile Travel theme and features an "auto-shooter" mechanism located between the flippers that propels the ball toward a swinging target, adding a distinctive shot to the layout.

The machine's features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, four passive bumpers, eight standup targets, three rollover buttons, one kick-out hole, and the swinging target -- notably, it has no slingshots, which sets it apart from many contemporaries. A double match feature lets operators set the replay count to 2, 5, or 10 replays, and the game supports 3- or 5-ball play with a maximum score of 9,999 points per player.

Williams produced 1,675 units of Stop 'N' Go, split between roughly 730 for the US/Canada market and 945 for export, at a distributor price of $405. Williams later revisited similar territory with 'Red 'N' Go.'
