Williams’ Red & Ted’s Road Show, released in 1994, is a riotous cross-country road trip from designer Pat Lawlor — and it has two of the most memorable characters in pinball: Red and Ted, a pair of animatronic talking heads built into the playfield who bicker, banter, and swallow the ball. A road-construction comedy with a shaker motor and four flippers, it’s Lawlor at his most playful, sending you city to city across America with a wrecking ball.

The journey is the game. You start city scenes at the Start City scoop or the Blast Hole, and relighting them requires racking up four hundred miles via ramps, loops, and scoops. Each city is its own mode — and savvy players steer away from the risky New York toward more lucrative stops like Miami. The deep scoring lives in the souvenirs: collected across the country, they can pay enormous points during “Fun with Bonus” when multiplied, so the experts build their bonus high and hoard souvenirs rather than selling them. Ramp combos (the famous “Bridge Out”) advance the bonus multiplier toward an extra ball.

There’s a wealth of lore for the dedicated, from the secret “Bob’s Lotto” skill shot to the high-value Holy Grail shot sequence at Atlanta. Hitting the bulldozer advances the days toward locking balls and starting multiball at Ted. Loud, funny, and crammed with personality, Road Show is a Lawlor gem — a demolition-derby road trip that’s as much fun to listen to as it is to play.
