Here today for your viewing pleasure is a gameplay video of Williams' 1992 The Getaway: High Speed II.
The Getaway builds on the theme of the original (and iconic) 1986 High Speed pinball machine. Spot the green, yellow and red targets to light the traffic lights and then run the red light by hitting the ramp to start multiball and get away from the cops. The task with The Getaway is pretty much the same and the playfield layout, while different, is similar to the original High Speed.
The Getaway is a game that will feel crushing if the player can't hit their shots. Making the ramp, the orbit shots and the kick-out saucer shots are all critical to game enjoyment. If the player can't make their shots, they're just going to be hitting posts the whole time, and that's a whole lotta no fun. And that's really my only complaint with this game: when you're on, it's great. But when you're off, this game is a tough slog.
The music and art of this machine are perfect for the theme and will have you humming La Grange for days after playing.
The Getaway was designed by Steve Ritchie (of course) with artwork by Doug Watson and Mark Sprenger. For more info on this game, see here:
