GAME ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(Continued)
42 'Gate Bonus' Advancement
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the point value for completing each set of 1-2-3
"Gate" Lanes. The 'Gate Bonus' starts at 500K and builds to a maximum of 4 Million (backglass
lamps display the value). The range of this setting is 1,000 (Conservative) to 99,000 (Liberal), by
increments of 1000. Note that the setting of this Adjustment can affect the Replay Level value
(if too Liberal a setting is selected) allowing high scores.
43 Extra Ball Auto Adjustment
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the percentage value for
ALL
Extra Balls. The
range of this automatic adjustment setting is
Enabled
1% (Hard) through 99% (Extremely easy);
it can also be turned off (disabled), via a setting of
Off.
When the automatic adjustment is turned
on (enabled), the game program adjusts the setting, at the end of a game, after 50 games,
except when the current value is within 2% of the setting. Then, no auto adjustment occurs.
44 Ducks Extra Ball
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the degree of difficulty for lighting the Extra Ball
lamp (left and right Return lanes) via the 3 Duck Targets; that is, how many times the player must
hit all three Duck Targets. The range of this setting is 3
Sets of completions of all
3
Duck Targets
(Liberal) through 5
Sets of completions of all
3
Duck Targets
(Conservative).
Note that, if
Adjustment 43 (Extra Ball Auto Adjustment) is Enabled, it can change the setting within the
range of 3 Sets to 5 Sets.
45 SPECIAL Auto Adjustment
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the percentage value for all Specials per game.
The range of this automatic adjustment setting is
Enabled
1% (Hard) through 99% (Extremely
easy); it can also be turned off (disabled), via a setting of
Off.
When the automatic adjustment is
turned on (enabled), the game program adjusts the setting, at the end of a game, after 50
games, except when the current value is within 2% of the setting. Then, no auto adjustment
occurs.
46 SPECIAL
_X
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the point at which the Bonus Multiplier turns on
the Special lamp. The range of choices is
2X
through
7X.
Note that, if Adjustment 45 (Auto
Adjustment) is Enabled, this Auto Adjustment has a range from 3X through 7X.
47
Consolation Time
The operator can choose (via the Credit button) the minimum game time below which a form of
'Consolation'
becomes effective. This compensates for less skilled players to encourage them
to continue playing the game. (Less skilled players are those whose game time is less than the
selected setting, and who did not get a Special, an Extra Ball, or other type of 'specialty' shot.
For these players, the game program lights the left Outlane Extra Ball lamp, to give them an
additional chance to increase their score, but they must drain through that lane to obtain this
assistance.) The range of this setting is 1
second
(Very Conservative) through 99
seconds
(Very Liberal), or
Off.
48 Attract Mode Sounds
The operator can select (via the Credit button) the amount of sounds occurring during the
Attract Mode. The choices are:
ALOT -
Sounds occur for approximately 8 minutes during the Attract Mode sequence.
LESS -
Sounds occur for approximately 2 mintues during only the Attract Mode.
NONE -
No sounds occur during the Attract Mode.
