RESETTING THE HIGH SCORES
The challenge of exceeding the High Score (either the factory setting or a higher
score by another player) is the goal of any pinball game players. To keep a pinball
game challenging requires a method of resetting the High Score value for those
occasions when a skilled player registers a truly excellent score. Other players note
this score and may decide not to play simply because their skill is not adequate to
exceed an extremely high score.

in fact, three methods of resetting the High Score values are
available. The simplest method involves allowing Game Adjustment Item Ad 22 to
reset the High Score values automatically after the specified number of plays
designated by the operator. The second method requires pressing the High Score
Reset switch on the inside of the coin door in the Attract Mode. This action simply
erases the previous high score values and replaces them with the Backup High
Score yalues. The third method establishes new values replacing the factory setting
values or previous operator setting values; it requires performing the following
steps:

15, 16, and 17, if desired). The High Score value of the factory
setting (or previous operator-adjusted setting) appears in the Player
