Play High Speed Online

Summary

The NES pinball conversion of High Speed captures the frantic chase of the original Williams table while adding a handful of quirky twists. You’ll hear a siren blare and the screen flash the moment you hit the red light, then race the police by shooting the ball up the ramp for a multi‑ball frenzy and a growing hideout jackpot. New obstacles keep you on your toes: acid patches dissolve the ball, water slows it, tumbleweeds try to drain you, and rust balls or lightning bombs can even wreck your flippers.

Beyond the main table, the game rewards exploration. Collect three helicopters and you’re whisked to a side playfield where four racing cars zip by, and you can use pinballs to slow them down for a win. Gather three safes and a pachinko‑style bonus board appears, offering a different kind of scoring challenge. The split‑screen view keeps the flippers anchored at the bottom while the rest of the playfield scrolls, a clever patent‑protected trick Rare first used in Pin*Bot.

Critics praised the smooth, responsive physics, giving it solid scores from GamePro and VG&CE, though some noted the added hazards could feel frustrating. Still, the blend of classic pinball rules with video‑game flair makes High Speed a standout title for anyone who loves fast‑paced, high‑risk arcade action.
