Marketing Slogans
Williams' first drving pinball featuring an action-packed police chase!

High Speed outplays.. And outsmarts all the others!

Everything else is left behind!

Comments and Trivia
High Speed is based on the true story of Steve Ritchie's chase with the police. He gave up the chase and was charged with reckless driving and received a fine.

Larry Demar fought hard to be allowed to use alphanumeric displays in the game.

The car sounds in the game are provided by Larry DeMar's Firebird.
