Blackout (Williams 1980)
By VPUStaff
Blackout / IPD No. 317 / June, 1980 / 4 Players
Manufacturer: Williams Electronics, Incorporated (1967-1985) [Trade Name: Williams]

Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Slingshots (2), Standup targets (6), 3-bank drop targets (2), Spinning targets (3), Kick-out hole (1). Lane change.
Design by: Claude Fernandez
Art by: Constantino Mitchell
Notes:
This playfield layout was also used on Rowamet's 'Heavy Metal' and Taito do Brasil's 1983 'Vortex'. A nearly identical layout was used on Williams' 1982 'Warlok'.
The first game designed and produced with Lane Change was Williams' 1980 'Firepower'.
Blackout was the first pinball game to have computer-controlled general illumination, used for the "BLACKOUT" sequence. This was accomplished using a relay mounted to the backbox floor, called the G.I. Relay, which cut power to all playfield lamps.
Prior to "Blackout", all solid state games from this manufacturer used four bolts to attach the backbox to the cabinet. With "Blackout" and later games, Williams used only two bolts even if the steel was still stamped for four holes.

Design by: Dan Langlois
Art by: Greg Freres
Sound by: Michael Bartlow
Software by: Howard Shere
Notes:
This game was also produced as Bally Midway's 1986 'Karate Fight'. Artist Greg Freres had to change the name on the backglass from Black Belt to Karate Fight at the request of a European distributor. We do not know if this became a permanent change in the production run, or was only a backglass substitution occurring before games designated for export went out the door. Freres does not recall the distributor's specific reason for the name change or how it actually affected the Black Belt production run, and offers the possibility that all games shipped as Black Belt and then Bally shipped the new glasses later.
