Hot Line Williams 1966

Hot Line came out in July of 1966 the summer between my Sophomore and Junior years in College. Hot Line was Designed by Steve Kordek and Williams produced 3,600 units.. I probably spent more time in the pinball parlor that year than any other. This game was a challenge to play, but the early dot matrix of letters done in lighted buttons was something very new and intriguing to say the least. This machine ate a lot of my change that year. Hot Line was made at the beginning of the transition from 5 Ball to 3 Ball games, but it is really a 5 Ball game with a 3 Ball mode. So while I've provided the ability to switch between 3 and 5 ball mode, I suggest playing it in 5 Ball mode to understand what it was like to play Hot Line in 1966 in the arcades. As with all of my games, pressing the "R" key will display the game rules and feature keys.
