Time Warp is a 4 player Solid State Electronic pinball machine from September 1979 produced by Williams.[1][2][3][4][5][6] A total of 8,875 units were produced.[7]
It is notable for being only one of two pinball machines (Williams' 1978 Disco Fever being the other) to ever use curved 'banana flipper bats[8], which made the ball easier to trap[9]. Other notable features are the five pop bumpers witch is unusual in a standard width game according to PinWiki.com[10]. 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.[11]
The table features a variety of mythological and historical themes. The inclusion of Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man on the backglass may be the only depiction of male nudity from a pinball machine manufacturer[7]. The artwork is by Constantino Michell, whose hidden signature can be found on the back of the glass, behind the glove of the time wizard[12].
It features electronic sound, with the background sound increasing in pitch and intensity as more points are accumulated, making it seem as though the machine is about to explode if the ball stays in play long enough. The pitch and intensity of sound return to normal at the commencement of a new ball[13].
The Time Warp Guardian slot machine is the new production of the Playson supplier. This prominent software developer has the habit of offering gamers superior gaming, and this entertainment option that he will soon bring to the online gambling market is no exception. Time Warp is a 5 reel 20 payline slot game. The game features a time machine with cogs, dials, switches, and other gizmos that surround the slot reels. There is also a mad professor in this slot game. There are wild symbols, scatter symbols, free spins, a bonus round, and the Autoplay feature. What are the types of coin-operated antique slot machines? Old slot machines come in a wide variety of categories. While you may see token slot machines, the tokens work the same way that coins do. If you want a slot machine only for decoration, you might be able to purchase a non-functional slot machine.

According to TNT Amusements INC, this was the first time Williams Electronics, Inc. used color coordination advertising[14].
The Marketing slogan was 'Where future and past collide, the action is unreal!' ...the profit time bomb[15].
This game ranks #282 in the Pinside Pinball Top 100[15] and Average Fun Rating is 7.5/10[7]
