The Getaway High Speed II
About This Machine
The Getaway High Speed II is a 1993 solid-state home pinball machine from American Home Entertainment (a division of Azrak-Hamway International), produced under license from Midway to bring Williams' 1992 arcade hit 'The Getaway: High Speed II' into the home market — its backglass even carries the Williams logo from the original. As a Cops and Robbers themed table built for home use, it scales down the arcade experience into a compact package.
Gameplay features four flippers and seven scoring bumbers, with the same playfield layout used on American Home Entertainment's 'Ground Shaker'. The cabinet measures roughly 51.5 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 42 inches high, and weighs just 29 lbs, making it practical for home installation. It has a single digital score display and is known to be multiplayer, though whether it supports 2 or 4 players isn't documented.
While it lacks the scale and complexity of its arcade namesake, The Getaway High Speed II remains a notable example of early-1990s licensed home pinball, offering fans of the Williams original a smaller-scale way to bring the game into their living room.
