    Quoted from jonesjb:

    How many big bonus games like Ghostbusters, do you really know how the bonus is calculate and trending? It just seems so random, which makes it difficult to strategize a high score.

    One thing I really like about Addams Family style bonus scoring where modes are tallied during your bonus is that you get a nice clear display of your score for each mode. Sometimes during game play it can be hard to catch this, but it's always fun to see! Also, as mentioned before, the extra risk related to physically working the machine when a big bonus is on the lane can make for more interesting decisions as you get deep into a ball. I'd love to see more Modern games that take the Bonus seriously, but do so in a clear and transparent way.
