Getaway countdown

[ajlaird]

As you may have read in another thread, I am swapping my Dirty Harry for a Getaway: HS II.

Really looking forward to getting my hands on the Getaway!

So I had Dirty Harry and Mousin' Around! - now have Cactus Jacks and in an hour or so a Getaway.

I sort of know how Rollerball feels now :)

Excellent choice Andrew.  I think swapping the games around from time to time is a very good idea and keeps your interest in the hobby alive. 

Make sure to keep the cheat mania secret to yourself so your kids don't beat your highscores!

Sounds like fun!

Will we be seeing an avatar change?

Yes, I will have to organise that once the machine is out of the boot and set up - although I think I will use Cactus Jack's as the avatar.

What cheat mania secret????

When you lock a ball - see how many Police cars are out front the doughnut shop.  If you see 3 - up, down, up on shifter and see.....................

Good choice, Andrew. Great machine from that era.

Post pictures when you have the opportunity.

Too busy working it in to post pictures tonight!

I am going to have to spend some serious time on this pinball to get a decent score - and the tilt seems a touch sensitive.

Congrats, great game

Finally got a half-decent score yesterday; at least it is the new high score for now.

What was your score?

[ajlaird]

Just over 350,000 from memory. Probably not great in the wider scheme of things, but it is a start.

Getaway is a great game, got to love the sound and that rumbling engine when you start a game :) I bet you playing and to busy to post pics for a while yet!

Hey - you didn't mention to me that you were after a HSII when we were busting our guts unloading that container......I was looking forward to BUYING the one that was 'supposed' to be in that container!!!!!

Anyway, lucky enough I spotted one that Mark had 'forgotten' he had - hidden away high up in a rack. In pretty good nick as well although it doesn't power up - I only had a few minites to do a bit of faultfinding so havn't got to the bottom of it yet........sat down over a beer, did the deal and it's on it's way to me now! Probably not in time for Christmas but that's OK - I have too many other things to do anyway.

It certainly will take priority when it arrives however - I'll have it going in no time I'm sure.

Already had the Getaway by the time we were unloading the container; it is a fast and fun game - not too deep but good for a quick bash or seven. The one I sourced isn't in great condition but it is playable. Eventually I will post some pics.
