UK Machine Record
No Fear: Dangerous Sports
Williams · 1995 · at 3 UK venues.
No Fear takes extreme sports and turns them into a fast, aggressive pinball game. Designed by Steve Ritchie, the machine is built around activities such as snowboarding, skateboarding and other high-risk challenges.
The layout is deliberately quick, with ramps, loops and targets combining to create the feeling of constantly moving through a series of dangerous stunts. The rules reward players who can maintain control while the game speeds up.
It is very much a Ritchie machine: direct, physical and unforgiving. The trick is not going faster; it’s staying in control while you do.
