GAME OPERATION
*Indicates adjustable features.
Game Over Mode - Turn game ON; player I score shows 00; all player scores alternate the high score to date, Game Over lamps light. All playfield lamps cycle in attract mode.

Multi-Ball and Magna-Save are trademarks of Williams Electronics, Inc.

Credit Posting - Insert coins; sound produced, number of credits displayed. If maximum credits* exceeded by coin or high score to date*, credits are posted correctly, coin lockout,de-energizes until remaining credits are below maximum. No credits may be won and coins are rejected while lockout is deenergized.

Game Start - Three balls must be resting on ball ramp or ball shooter switches (maximum of one ball in ball shooter trough) before game will start. Push credit button, startup tune played, ball served, credit display reduced by 1, player 1 score flashes 00 until first scoring switch is made, ball in play shows 1. Pushing credit button before ball 2 displayed allows additional players.

Bonus Advance - The bonus is advanced (from 1,000 to 49,000) one time by making left ramp rollover, twice by making left and right inside rollovers or outlanes, three times by completing a bank of drop targets, and five times by making left or right inside rollovers as a result of Magna-Save feature. With bonus at maximum and multiplier at 5x, completing a bank of drop targets or making one of the advance switches scores 5,000. Bonus multipliers are advanced from 2X to 5X by making the Turnaround.

Magna-Save Feature* - Completing a drop target 3-bank while associated lamp is still flashing scores 10,000, lights a target arrow, and lights a magnet. If the associated lamp goes out before the bank is completed, the bank is reset. With a magnet lamp lit, operating the corresponding Magna-Save button on the side of the cabinet energizes the magnet for a *few seconds and a ball held stationary by the magnet will tend to go through the inside rollover.

Mystery and Spinner - Making the left inside rollover flashes the right ramp rollunder for a mystery value. Making the rollunder while still flashing awards the mystery value which will be indicated on other player display(s). Making the right inside rollover flashes the spinner.

Multi-Ball Play - Making a ball in the lock mechanism when a lock arrow is flashing, lights a lock arrow steadily and lights the lower playfield eject hole. Locking three balls in the mechanism or making the eject hole when lit releases the balls from the mechanism. All scoring and mystery values are tripled while three balls are in play and doubled while two balls are in play. Lock arrows do not flash until turnaround is made.*

Extra Ball - A maximum of four * Extra Balls may be accumulated at one time. Spotting three arrows for both top and/or* both bottom banks lights the left ramp rollover for the first possible extra ball. Spotting all 3-bank arrows lights the Turnaround for the second possible Extra Ball. Spotting all 3-bank arrows alternately lights the left ramp rollover and Turnaround for additional Extra Balls. Making left ramp rollover or Turnaround when lit awards an Extra Ball.

Last Chance* - With locked balls on the last ball of the game, the left and right outside rollovers are lit for a "last chance." Making the rollover when lit releases any locked balls (no Multi-ball scoring). If Extra Ball(s) is won during "last chance", the rollovers are not relit.

Bonus Ball* - With two or more players, a player with the highest score is awarded a bonus ball*. All three balls are released and play is allowed for 30* seconds with both magnet lamps lit. There is no Multi-Ball or mystery scoring or playfield Extra Ball feature during the bonus ball. Extra Balls won from Special or high score levels are awarded as additional bonus balls.

Special - Completing all four drop target 3-banks during the bonus ball lights the Turnaround for a possible Special. Making the Turnaround when lit awards a Special.

Memory - 3-bank drop target arrows, locked balls, magnet lamps, and Extra Ball lamps.

Tilt - Ball in play tilted on first closure of ball roll tilt and third* closure of Plumb Bob and playfield tilts. Slam tilt return game to game over.

End of Game - Match Digits* appears in ball in play display, *credit awarded for match. Exceeding high score to date awards *three credits. Match, High Score to Date, and Game Over sounds made as appropriate. A new game cannot be started with more than one ball resting in the ball shooter trough; excess balls must be returned to the playfield and rest on the ball ramp switches.

*NOTES:
  1. First reference no. for D7997 (earlier) Driver Board; 2nd is for D8341 Driver Board.
  2. Contacts of solenoid 9 and 10 and 21 switch ground to magnets(Part No. 20-8991).
  3. Special switch connections for solenoids 17 through 19 are as follows:
      17--ORN-BRN--2P13-5, 8P3-5
      18--ORN-RED--2P13-3, 8P3-6
      19--ORN-BLK--2P13-2, 8P3-7
  4. Flipper button connections are as follows:
      Right--ORN-VIO--2P12-1, 7P1-7
      Left--ORN-GRY--2P12-2, 7P1-9
  5. Typical wiring for solenoids and special switches:
Typical Solenoid Wiring

Switch Test
  1. From Solenoid Test depress ADVANCE with the switch set to AUTO-UP. Test 03 should be indicated in the Credits display and any stuck switches in the Master display. As stuck switch(es) is displayed a sound is produced. The display continuously cycles through the stuck switches and as they are opened, the number is removed from the sequence. When all switches are open, the Match display is blank and the sounds stop.
  2. If all switches in a row are displayed, first verify that all are open and then check for a short to ground on the row wire.
  3. Operate switches, a sound is produced and switch number is momentarily indicated in the ball in play display. If two switches in a row are indicated with one switch closed, check for a short between the column wires; for multiple indication check column wire for short to ground. If two switches in a column are indicated with one switch closed, check for short between row wires.
  4. If proper indications are obtained in Test 03 but matrix problem is suspected in game play, disconnect lamp connectors 2P5 and 2P7. Recheck in game play. Perform CPU Self-Test if problem remains. If problem is cleared, check for short between lamp matrix and jet bumper mounting brackets.
  5. Shorted diodes can cause "rectangle" switch matrix problems as follows: The center and top targets in the lower center 3-bank down (switches 26 and 27), and with a ball entering the Hidden Tomb Shooter making switch 43, a shorted diode at switch 27 would cause switch 42 Playfield Tilt to be indicated. Note that the "rectangle" is always completed with an incorrect switch diagonally opposite from the switch with the shorted diode.
