Notes: This game is known in Williams documentation as "4-IN-1" but that name never appears on the game itself. A total of 100 games were produced. Each came with four interchangeable playfield overlays for the themes of Baseball, Poker, Football, and Soccer. The operator could change the overlay and Instruction Card, re-option switches, and have a new game in the same cabinet. We list this game using the name shown on each overlay. The three other games are:

Poker
Pigskin: 2010
Willy’s Cup

Barry Oursler told us that Williams was also trying to sell 4-IN-1 to the home market by advertising it in high-end catalogs like Sharper Image and Hammacher-Schlemmer, but results were less than desired.
