A little history on Williams
Williams Electronics, founded in 1943 by Harry E. Williams, quickly became a major force in the pinball industry due to their technological innovations. In 1980, Williams introduced Black Knight, the first pinball machine to feature a two-level playfield, which revolutionized gameplay. The release of PinBot in 1986 further showcased Williams’ commitment to innovation with its engaging gameplay and unique playfield design. The pinnacle of their success came in 1992 with The Addams Family, which became the best-selling pinball machine of all time, known for its memorable quotes and complex playfield. Williams pioneered many features that are now standard in modern pinball machines. The company exited the pinball business in 1999 to focus on casino gaming, but their legacy lives on through their iconic machines.
