Williams Jokerz

Jokerz wasn't a huge hit in 1988, but it has several things going for it: great backglass artwork, a stereo sound board (ahead of its time), an artful blend of carnival & baroque music, a stepper motor card wheel in the backglass, a cool motorized playfield ramp, and easy-to-learn gameplay.

The music, by Chris Granner and John Hey, merits special mention. The unusual style of music combined with the use of the sound hardware produced a unique timbre and tonal quality...listen to the samples below!

Music!
Here are some MP3 files of the outstanding themes from the game, presented in full stereo. All themes are made to loop, so set your player up to repeat.
