Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Question regarding T2 (or other Williams games of that era): Is there a setting or method to reduce the amount of "stuff" shown during attract mode? When the game ends, if you don't catch the score right after the bonus is collected or in the first screen after "GAME OVER", then you end up having to sit through the credits, the special thanks, the high scores, and then some before the most recent score comes around again. This is super annoying -- especially when hosting a tournament. I have eight games to keep track of, so it's easy to miss the T2 score if I'm writing down something else. Definitely ran into this issue at my last tournament -- and that was with TWO scorekeepers.
I haven't tried putting it on Tournament mode (my "Tournaments" are casual), so I intend on trying that at my next opportunity. (Seems like this would be the place to slip in a feature like keeping the score up on the screen longer...) The manual says this just equalizes the jackpot during multi-player games, so I don't know if it will change anything else.
Are there any other settings or options I'm unaware of? Or do I need to dedicate someone to watch it like a hawk?

Tournament mode won't affect it. On later Williams you can use the flippers to page through but I don't think there's anything for earlier games
