What an outrageously fun little game!
6803’s get no respect, but this is a little gem. Simple gameplay and very enjoyable with absolutely top-notch music and sounds. It’s charming and loads of fun.
Scoring is basic and isn’t always straightforwards. (Jackpot is merely just spelling city which is what you have to do to start multiball in the first place)

This game oozes charm and the music quickly became one of my favorites.

What do you get when you mix the relatively one-dimensional nature of late Bally 6803 games with the charm of a Williams System 11?  You get Truck Stop.  Designed in the Bally factory, and polished in the Williams facility after Williams bought out the Bally pinball division, the game plays like the orphan that it is.  I played the game at the Allentown show years back and I rolled it, nearly twice.  I'm not a good player, and this was my first time playing the game.  So, I'll say the game is a tad simple to master, however very easy to learn for new players.  Riding the ramps is fun, and flippers need to be in top-notch shape to ride the long ramps.  In-line drop targets on a System 11 is a rarity, and neat to see--especially out in the open like these are.  Art and sounds are typical top-notch from Williams. Speech can get a little repetitive and obnoxious.  History says the design was saved from the Bally scrap pile and the Williams “pizazz” was added for release, and that certainly looks to be the case.  If nothing else, these early Bally games from the Williams factory were unique and had a certain flair about them…even if they were a little shallow, simple and repetitive.

Being from the dot matrix age myself, although enjoying games like Earthshaker as well, it was quite hard for me to like Truck Stop. Admittedly, the game's artwork looks great in that wonderful "late nineties" Bally kind of way but the layout is way to symmetrical for my taste. The flow is hard to be found, and I could only play one, maybe two games before losing my interest. The soundtrack is great though, and so are some of the quotes. And a great looker, but that's really all she is.
