Time Fantasy

Time Fantasy is a notable addition to Williams' 1980s lineup, designed by Barry Oursler and released in March 1983. It embodies the fantasy theming that characterized many Williams machines of the era.

The gameplay features that make Time Fantasy stand out include its array of targets and bumpers, with three pop bumpers providing rapid-fire scoring opportunities. The inclusion of two slingshots and eight standup targets adds to the machine's challenge, while a horseshoe lane and a wire-form ramp target at the top of the playfield introduce an element of spatial complexity.

The design and artwork on Time Fantasy are characteristic of Williams' early-1980s aesthetic. With only 608 units confirmed produced, it is a relatively scarce machine; it was designed as a lower-cost, quicker-to-build game intended to limit play time and reduce component costs, reusing surplus backboxes from Williams' 1981 'Hyperball.' Despite testing well in family-center locations, it proved a modest performer overall, making it a lesser-known but historically interesting entry from Williams' 1980s output.
