Super Score
About This Machine
The Super Score, manufactured by Williams in 1956, holds a place in the company's electromechanical (EM) history. It was designed by Harry Williams, whose contributions to the evolution of pinball are still celebrated today.
Key gameplay features include two flippers for precise ball control, four pop bumpers for high-scoring opportunities, and two slingshots for added excitement. A gobble hole allows players to clear a ball from the playing area quickly. Two outholes sit at the bottom of the playfield, with a center kicker between them that propels balls back into play, adding an extra layer of challenge and strategy.
The Super Score's design and art are quintessential of its time, with stylized city buildings and a bustling metropolis theme dominating the playfield, fitting its 'City Buildings - City Scene' theme. The machine's electro-mechanical components reflect the technology of the era, offering an example of Williams' mid-1950s output.
