Whirlwind is a pinball machine produced by Williams in 1990 and was one of the last Williams System 11b games. It was designed by Pat Lawlor,[1] who created a previous natural disaster-themed pinball for Williams, Earthshaker!.
Whirlwind is distinguished by three playfield rotating discs, and a fan topper that blows wind on the player at certain times in the game. The objective in Whirlwind is to move the storm using the compass targets to light ball locks for multiball. In multiball, a progressive jackpot can be scored by making left ramp shots from the upper right flipper. Alternatively, one can work towards the "Wizard Mode" by lighting and collecting all of the seven "Super Cellar Door" values. Also, once player has earned five extra balls in a game, each one earned thereafter awards a score bonus.
Whirlwind is among the six-year collection of licensed Williams table in The Pinball Arcade for several platforms between 2012 and 2018. The table appeared also in .
