    I have a Getaway for about 6 months now and there is one thing that keeps coming up.

    Whenever i get to 4th gear and the supercharger mode starts, the ball drains 9/10 times. Most of the times through the outlanes. It seems like this mode is jinxed for me. My son also hates that mode.

    Only one time did i get to 75 milj, by shooting the supercharger and letting it bounce of the left flipper towards the right flipper and repeating it 4 times.

    Anyone else has the same feeling about that mode? Otherwise this is a fantastic game.

    It's the added time pressure getting to you because you know it can be seriously valuable if played well or worth nothing if you can't hit a shot. I actually spend more time in that mode shooting the orbits (trying to repeat the upper orbit shot for instance) and less time on the supercharger itself. I miss to the supercharger is generally trouble while a miss to an orbit is normally fairly safe.

    When I get to that mode in tournaments or on ball 3 I always just catch the ball and wait it out. It's the same for me where I *always* drain during it. With red light mania so close I'm not taking that risk.

    In the prototype roms they had a 2 ball multiball instead of this for the 4th award, which I think would have been much cooler
