Quoted from chuckwurt:I’ve knocked them all down before. The one I was playing (EL Dorado), did nothing after I hit them all down. Should they reset? Light double bonus? It did nothing so I was insta-pissed. Haha
They stay down unfortunately. Part of me was thinking of some way to mod in a reset switch for each bank
Quoted from schudel5:Unfortunately T/A suffers from this like most multi-player EMs. Drop down all 15 drops and then spend the rest of the ball getting 10 pts from the slings/rebound or maybe the EB or Special if you're into that sort of thing. That's it. Having the drops reset may make you have something to shoot for, but how is the bonus handled? I have a T/A, it is fun, but once you drop all 15 drops down...
Game logic would reset the bonus on the bank that resets.....I guess you could think of it as risk reward....complete the bank to light extra ball and the chance for more drops or go conservative and leave a target up to reserve that double bonus on later balls..... Hmmmmmm
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Actually, in my El Dorado and the other one I've played the targets all immediately come back up after you knock the last one down. After this happens, any time you hit a drop target that has the traveling light in front of it the game gives you a credit. If you're playing Gold Strike, the rarer variant, instead of a credit you get an extra ball... meaning a good player can pretty much play it forever.
Fun difference in the rules and bonus from that to TA.
