Road Champion

Road Champion, released by Williams Electronics on August 31, 1977, is not actually a pinball machine — it's an arcade video game housed in an upright cabinet, despite sometimes appearing on pinball reference lists. It carries the auto-racing theme common to arcade driving games of the era.

According to Williams' production floor records, Road Champion had a confirmed production run of 456 units, with manufacturing running from August 31, 1977 through April 26, 1978.

Beyond these production details, little further documentation exists on Road Champion's specific gameplay or design, and no product history record survives for the title. It remains a footnote in Williams' catalog from the late 1970s, notable mainly for how easily it can be mistaken for a pinball machine.
