Which tables carry over progress between games?

I was just playing an EM game last week that would keep the balls in the lock saucer until a player gets them out....Gulfstream

Unless you're in tournament mode, Dr. Dude saves the progress on the dude-o-meter as you play toward super dude (bigger jackpot in multiball).

I know that Hurricane will carry over the Palace letters from game to game. Once you spell Palace, the jackpot will light. The jackpot value is also progressive.

Fireball maybe? I didn't know Gulfstream had multiball, but it's been 40 years since I played one.

High Speed was the first game (IIRC) with a progressive jackpot that carries from player to player and game to game.

I've got the same thing on Surf Side from 1967 although it is not labeled as jackpot.

It has the 2 ball capture saucers in the middle. Love that game such a bitch to hit the middle target with that flipper alignment.

Those aren't regular kickout holes? How do you release the balls?

They are kick out holes but they hold the ball until you lock 2, then they kick them out, or hit one hard enough to pop out This is at the VFW so I don't know if that's a change made to this particular machine?

Rescue 911 "letters" do.

Lightning ball locks carry over.

Most of the sys11 games carry the jackpot over.

It's a setting, but yes it can be carried from player to player, set for each player, or reset every game. Maybe even every ball, not sure.

The Simpsons MILLIONS letters do the same.

I figured they were as Beat the Clock is the only single player game with multiball as far as I know.

Gottlieb Paradise keeps shot multiplier progress including the 100x between games.

As a side note, I went through the schematics to verify this was the way they designed it. Also, figured out how to disable this and reset between games if I ever use the game in a tournament.

Silverball Mania keeps The SILVERBALL progress on the back glass. I think for every 3 Silverball Mania specials it light a letter on the back glass. That progress remains, even when the game is turned off. Once the entire SILVERBALL has been completed, 3 credits are awarded.

My kitchen table. It always carries over the achievements of the "eating game".

Especially since I have children.

Really adds to the fun with multiple players. One player can gather several letters only to have another steal the RANSOM! Heh heh!

Yes. You can set it to kick the balls out after the game ends, or keep them in the saucers for the next game.

Are we talking Jackpot values carrying over from game to game? If so, there is a whole list of those games (ex. Pinbot).

Lights Camera Action's "Blockbuster" feature can be set to carry over ball to ball, game to game. Completing the right bank of drop targets adds a letter to "blockbuster." When all letters are completed, the game awards a special. The jackpot (which is built up with pop bumper hits and drop target hits), also carries over game to game.

My old William's "Suspense" could be set to carry the bonus over from game to game.
