A kitten. A mouse. A bird. A runaway tire. A big cat. The invisible man. They all Make Trax through the freshest, most clever video game you’ve ever seen!

The player must paint each of six patterns with his brush, thwarting the mischievous characters by outmaneuvering them, painting over any Trax they make, rolling over some with his roller and giving others the brush off with his brush! The more the player paints, the trickier and the smarter the characters get!

It’s strategy, challenge and just plain fun that will make players Make Trax to Williams!

Make Trax is available in upright, mini, cocktail table and cocktail table with base. For the service back-up that keeps you out-front, call Williams toll-free at 800/621-1253. In Illinois, call toll-free at 800/572-1324.
