THE GETAWAY – HIGH SPEED II
This is a great Pin! Getaway!

Posted by subzero on May 15, 2010 15:57 (May 15, 2010 15:57)

High Speed II
Manufactured By Williams Electronics in 1992

Designed by Steve Ritchie, The Getaway – High Speed II offers the player high octane thrills for just a couple of coins!!


Notable Features: Flippers (3), Pop bumpers (3), 3-bank standup targets (5), Left ramp with a diverter (which diverts the ball either to the Supercharger ball accelerator or to the left habitrail), Diverter on the upper right side of the playfield (which diverts the ball either to the right orbit or to the ball lock on the right side of the playfield), Left outlane kickback, Kick-out hole (1), 3-ball Multiball, Autoplunger, Video mode, "Supercharger" Magnetic ball accelerator. Gear shift (for launching the ball and for shifting gears during main gameplay, as well as the video mode).



The first thing that struck me about this table was how fast it played - there is always something going on to keep your wits about you.

The best feature is the magnetic ball accelerator-get your ball up the left ramp and the ball is spun around superfast and then thrown down a habitrail at you – so you better be ready with that left flipper.  The game also features the ‘standard’ insane scoring!!! After only 1 ball a  score of 33,000,000 was achieved!!!

There are some brilliant emulated versions of this table for Visual Pinball! You need to check it out!
