Software Bug:  If the outhole pulses twice during any ball (either from switch bouncing, or scoring zero on the playfield and getting the ball re-launched) the background sound (if set) will turn off until the next ball.  There are rumors of a hacked rom in the field that fixes this issue, however it is untested and not approved by Williams so it is not generally available.

Notable Features: Five pop bumpers (unusual in a standard width game) / Drop targets: a 5-bank and a 3-bank / Banana Flippers

  • The 'Banana' (or curved) Flippers were standard on many of these games. Some players like these flippers as a change of pace, perhaps feeling that like Jai-Alai racquets they allow the ball to travel at high velocities. Other players feel that the loss of control is unacceptable, for this reason many games owners remove the 'Banana Flippers' replace them with normal flipper bats. According to Barry Oursler, the games' designer, approximately the last 2000 of Time Warp's production came with normal flipper bats.

Disco Fever (System 4) is an earlier game that had Banana Flippers fitted from the factory for the entire run.

Software Bug: If the outhole pulses twice during any ball (either from switch bouncing, or scoring zero on the playfield and getting the ball re-launched) the background sound (if set) will turn off until the next ball. There are rumors of a hacked rom in the field that fixes this issue, however it is untested and not approved by Williams so it is not generally available.
