I have never heard of this machine before Williams world cup

It looks very boring to me for a Williams of that year!
Looks like a flop

it wasnt a flop financially for Williams since they sold over 6500 units.

never seen one before.

I rebuilt one a few years back im sure there is a restore thread floating around AP somewhere.   
     I thought the same looks very ordinary but its very addictive its still in my circle of friends ill try and make a video of it next time we catch up

i would enjoy it, i have someone nearby who thinks they have one in a storage container and might get "rid" of it. atleast i think its that one... soo many "soccer" pinballs!

Not a flop (as far as Williams go). Was a fantastic earner in its day. Artwork and theme played a big part in its success.

"in its day"

a machine 6-7 years older!

Flash was produced in 1979 and World Cup in 1978. A year apart - not six.

Flash is the best SYS4/6 Williams game by a long stretch. I remember the World Cup as being a fun machine. I have one to restore in the near future, so I'll be able to answer your question better then !

Oh. What was I thinking. Didn't think it made sence
