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 many 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.
For ELVIRA,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 values.

previous operator setting values: it requires performing the following steps:
