Here is the list of games produced by Williams between 1985 and 1999.
Excluding the last 2 years, Williams out produced all other pinball manufacturers during these years and produced more titles than anyone else, as well as the most amount of total production than their competition.

Williams games are highly collectable and the close of Williams left only Stern pinball to be the only company left producing pinball games worldwide.
Many Williams games are rated in the top 10 pinball machines of all times and regarded by most collectors to be one of the best brands.
Williams survives today producing poker machines and gambling devices.
Star Wars Episode 1 was the last title to be sold to the public.
Steve Ritchie, known worldwide as the popular KING of pinball design, who was one of the designers responsible for alot of great pinball machines being produced for Williams, is now President of Games and Design at STERN Pinball and works with Gary Stern and team.
AC/DC is a recent design of Steve Ritchies which has sold more units than any other title for Stern in the previous 13 years.
Williams games like Twilight Zone and Fishtales are in the top 5 of the highest number of pinball games ever manufactured. Williams has produced the majority of the top 15 games of all times rated on the Internet Pinball Data Base by fellow pinball players and collectors.
Williams has made alot of very fun pinball games and Williams parts are generally less expensive than other brands due to the fact they were the largest pinball maker in its time and luckily for pinball enthusiasts, alot of reasonably priced parts are available today.
I hope this list helps people to remember the great machines produced by Williams for the 1985 to 1999 years.
