About This Machine

Rat Race II was designed for Williams in 1985 as a solid-state, four-player follow-up to the original Rat Race, but like its predecessor it was never put into production — no production units were built. Details about its theme and gameplay have not survived in IPDB's records, leaving it one of the more obscure entries in Williams' mid-1980s design history.

As an unproduced prototype-stage title, Rat Race II offers a glimpse into ideas Williams was exploring internally during a period of rapid change in the pinball industry, though little else is documented about its specific mechanics or art.

For collectors and historians, Rat Race II remains largely a name in the record books rather than a machine that can be tracked down and played, its details lost to time along with many other unreleased prototypes from this era.
