Hahaha we all like different things. I love WoF because the answer to most things is: just don’t flip and let the ball bounce.

You dabbled in the Eldritch art of Secret Mania and the Old Ones are pleased. Nothing is wrong here.

Just ban secret mania from being used on Getaway. I will continue to use secret mania on STTNG, Junkyard, and Who Dookie until further notice.

In my local league one guy calls it “Secret Drainia” because he has a superstition that you will always drain while trying to milk it.

I’m surprised the Papa site doesn’t have anything on it. Too many words or just haven’t got around to it? As bugs go, it’s epic.
Isn’t the consensus that it’s an ok game for single game qualifying but not for multi player games (playoffs)?
Activating secret mania during a 4p competitive game is the pinball equivalent of sitting in a crowded hot tub and taking a dump. Just don’t do it.

It’s funny, I did this in PAPA B semi finals many years ago. I have no idea why I did it and I yelled at myself when I did. It caused the lock ramp to be permanently stuck up for the rest of the game – for all four players. It didn’t help I was player 1 on ball 1.

Morbid curiosity… that’s the only explanation I have for why one’s hand subconsciously reaches for the shifter upon seeing those three police cars. You know it’ll ruin the game, but you still wonder exactly HOW it’ll go down this time. Maybe, by chance, the resulting mess might be beneficial for once? (has secret mania actually ever resulted in a beneficial situation?)
Never say never. Wait 20 years time for the vault edition or retro edition. I foresee, when PPS get around to Cactus Canyon, it will come with a revised and enhanced rule set.
Here be the ROM fix for The Getaway:
