Red & Ted's Road Show (also known as Road Show) is a 1994 widebody pinball game designed by Pat Lawlor and released by Williams. It is part of WMS' SuperPin line of widebody games.

Contents

Country singer Carlene Carter provided the voice of Red, and her song, "Every Little Thing", is featured in the game. The game is considered an unofficial successor of FunHouse, as both were designed by Pat Lawlor and feature animated talking head(s) along with some similar playfield layout ideas. It is equipped with a shaker motor to make the machine vibrate. It is the only pinball machine that features an additional daily highscore list.

Gameplay

The main goal is to travel the USA from east to west, starting in New York City or Miami. The cities/states and their missions that must be passed are:

  • New York - Smash a Cab

    Besides for unauthorized emulation via Visual Pinball, VirtuaPin etc., a licensed and official digitized version has been released for The Pinball Arcade in June 2015 for several platforms along with its predecessor Funhouse (Available since 2012 in "Table Pack 1".). This version also has the song "Every Little Thing" by Carlene Carter included.
