UK Machine Record
Police Force
Williams · 1989 · at 1 UK venue.
Police Force is a Williams machine built around the world of law enforcement, with the player taking on a series of police-themed objectives.
The game uses targets, ramps and modes to represent police missions, giving the player a clear sense of progressing through different incidents. Its late-1980s design is relatively straightforward compared with modern games.
It rewards players who concentrate on completing the current objective rather than firing randomly around the playfield. Pick the call, respond to it and complete the job.

Shoot the center ramp consecutively. Eventually it'll start giving you a million for each hit. Repeat until you get bored. :unamused:
