History Pinball / HighSpeed

* GameBreakingBug: Activating the "Secret Mania" glitch mentioned above has been known to cause confusion regarding the state of locked balls, especially in a multiplayer game. This is primarily why this game doesn't show up very frequently in competitive tournaments.

** GutturalGrowler: Steve provides the voice of the deep-throated announcer.

A [[DigitalPinballTable video game version]] for the Nintendo GameBoy was developed by Unexpected Developments and published by Williams. Another video game version of the table was available for ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade'', which was accidentally revealed earlier than expected due to a [[GoodBadBugs in-game bug]] within the PC version. However, in the case of ''The Pinball Arcade'', the expiration of the Williams/Bally license in July 2018 made it a legacy table and thus unavailable except to those who purchased it before that month. However, on September 4, 2018, Creator/ZenStudios announced that it had gained the rights to this and other WMS tables to be released within ''[[VideoGame/ZenPinball Pinball FX3]]''. In particular, this and three other tables (''Pinball/FishTales'', ''Pinball/MedievalMadness'' and ''Pinball/JunkYard'') are the first to get this treatment.

* MirandaRights: You hear the beginning of them when you get a GameOver, indicating that you've been placed under arrest for blatantly speeding on the freeway.

* EasterEgg: On the backglass, the initials "XAQ" and "DWF" (look at the helicopters) refer to the game's programmer, Dwight Sullivan and the game's composer, Dan Forden, respectively.
** Also, "XAQ" appears on the cop's badge during the "Free Ride" ball saver animation.

** ItsAWonderfulFailure: Failure to get a match or a high score will play a clip that confirms that Car 504 succeeded in pulling you over (offscreen, of course), then starts reading your MirandaRights. 504 gets through the first part ("you have the right to remain silent") before the theme music kicks in.

A [[DigitalPinballTable video game version]] for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem was developed by Creator/{{Rare}} Ltd. and published by Tradewest. To the detriment of purists, it added video-only obstacles, such as a mad mechanic who attempted to slap the ball down the flippers. After over twenty years, a true recreation of the game without extraneous features is available for ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''.

* IDontKnowMortalKombat: On a slow day at the Professional and Amateur Pinball Association's headquarters, the NES game was available to play. Keith Elwin, 5-time world champion, happened to be around and tried playing it, which completely chewed him up and spat him out--he was done in less than 60 seconds.

'''High Speed''' is a pinball game designed by Creator/SteveRitchie, with software by Creator/LarryDeMar and art by Mark Sprenger (playfield) and Creator/PythonAnghelo (backglass); it was released by Creator/WilliamsElectronics in 1986. The game is based on [[HotPursuit a high-speed police chase]] between the player (in his cherry-red Lamborghini) and the long arm of the law. The player must first advance a set of traffic lights from green to yellow to red; after he runs the red light, the police will immediately follow. If the player escapes, he can start three-ball multiball for a chase at breakneck speeds, complete with flashing lights and siren.

Once again, the player hits the highways in his souped-up sports car, and once again, Car 504 is on his tail... and he's bringing his friends.
