Getaway High Speed 2 Pinball Machine for Sale | Williams

This Getaway High Speed 2 pinball machine puts you behind the wheel of a police chase built from designer Steve Ritchie’s own real-life experience — he based the game on being pursued by police in a high-speed chase, which is why it plays with a sense of urgency few pinball machines match. Released by Williams in 1992 as the sequel to 1986’s High Speed, it swaps the standard plunger for a working gearshift and adds the Supercharger, a magnetic accelerator that spins and launches the ball to simulate real acceleration. Every unit is opened, tested, and serviced by our own technicians in Seattle before it ships free to your door anywhere in the USA.

Why This Machine Still Ranks Among the Best

The Getaway High Speed 2 Pinball is regularly ranked as one of the greatest pinball machines ever made, and it earned that reputation by improving on its predecessor in nearly every way rather than just re-skinning it. Williams sold over 13,000 units, making it one of the best-selling tables of the early 1990s — a production run large enough that clean, well-maintained examples are still findable today, but far from guaranteed to be in good shape without a proper inspection first.

The Getaway High Speed 2 Pinball Machine Features & Gameplay

• Working gearshift replaces the plunger, doubling as the ball launcher and a control used during gameplay and video mode
• The Supercharger — a magnetic, optical ball accelerator that spins and launches the ball for a genuine speed sensation
• Dot-matrix display (128×32) showing car chase and police pursuit animations
• Redline Mania — a high-value multiball mode built around collecting awards via the gearshift
• ZZ Top’s “La Grange” integrated into the soundtrack, alongside police radio chatter and digitized speech
• Diamond-plated playfield sections built to hold up under heavy shot volume
• Backglass art by Doug Watson and playfield art by Mark Sprenger

The Getaway High Speed 2 Pinball Machine Specifications

Condition, Testing & Warranty

A 30-plus-year-old machine bought sight-unseen from a private seller comes with no guarantee on playfield wear, board condition, or whether the Supercharger still works correctly — and repairs on a machine this age can add up fast. That’s why every Getaway High Speed 2 pinball machine we sell goes through a full inspection: flippers rebuilt, boards diagnosed, cabinet detailed, before it’s crated. It ships with a real warranty and direct technician support, not a “sold as-is” listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Getaway High Speed 2 pinball machine new or refurbished?

Every machine we sell — new, used, or refurbished — is inspected, tested, and backed by a warranty before it leaves our workshop.

Do I need the original High Speed to understand this game?

No. The Getaway: High Speed II plays as a standalone sequel — you don’t need any history with the 1986 original to enjoy the ruleset or the story.

How much space do I need for this machine?

Plan for roughly 2–3 feet of width and 5–6 feet of depth for the cabinet and backbox, plus a standard 110V household outlet nearby.
