Hold Bonus on Getaway??
« on: October 24, 2009, 06:44:43 PM »
Just wondering, is Hold Bonus supposed to stay on for the duration of the game once you get it for redlining 2nd Gear? Once I've been awarded it for 2nd gear redline, it holds over for the next ball, but once that ball is lost, it cancels out, and I lose any 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x multipliers I may have won. And then the only way to get it again, is by randomly winning it on the Burn Rubber feature. Seems a bit weird, I thought it would hold over for the game once you win it. Maybe my memory of playing pin years ago is shot...

What ROM version are you running?

Mine initially came with one of the PC-? versions (proto) and once I updated to L2 game play improved heaps!

When you turn it on it says Rev. L-3. Does that mean its updated already?

How does yours work regards the Hold Bonus Marty?

Not sure...I will fire it up and see for you.

I cant remember the differences in ROM versions - however the consensis on RGP is L2 is the most stable (supercharger wise).

Thanks Marty, appreciated. May as well crack yourself a beer while you're there...  :)

My supercharger seems okay, (I think), managed to get 3 balls in it last night!

I didn't get the redline during my gameplay- but any bonux multiplier is lost with that ball.  The 'Redline to collect gear value' lights holds what ever its on no matter what ball.

Hope this makes sense.

Yeah, mine does the same, holds the collect gear value. Just wondering, do other pins hold the bonus multiplier over for every ball as you earn them, or are they lost with each ball loss?

It varies between games.

From memory i think Getaway has a hold bonus feature & will only carry over your X2 X3 X4 bonus etc
when you get the hold bonus feature otherwise it clears from ball to ball.
