Fast , fast, fast!
This Game is great especially if you like cars, the design actually makes you believe the ball is a little car you have to drive around the playfield, supercharger is one of the coolest tous in pinball.

This is one that adds up greater then it's parts. The rules are simple, there arnt a whole lot of shots, but it is so much fun, it all comes together to be a real blast to play. The music is cool and fun. Supercharger never gets old.
Shift gear!

I love this game, so much flow and one of the best looking complete packages in pinball. Definitely best topper. Pretty shallow rules but perfect for the table because it forces you to keep the ball moving to get through to redline mania before the left out lane swallows you whole. I hope I’m not looking at the past through rose coloured glasses but this game takes me back to what it’s all about. Fast, fun, simple, flow. PERFECT.

Pretty biased review as I’m a car buff, and this thing is singing my tunes, so right away I was digging it.
Even without my car passion this game always gets the new people to the game room engaged.
You can’t help but get excited when the supercharger sends the ball screaming around and the topper is flashing!
This one will probably never leave the collection.

Supercharger is really cool! But what comes to playfield there's not that much to shoot for. I liked the dots and music. But the playfield art is a bit too retro/comic.

A very simple yet effective game. It is a classic and I understand why it is well reviewed. Wonderful flow, plays nice and fast. Nothing like speeding away from the cops, and picking up random girls....

Another case where as much as I hate to say it, the sequel is the better game. High Speed is my sentimental favorite, but Getaway adds enough twists to put it over the top. Fast, fun, everything you'd ever want in a pinball machine. SR at the top of his game.

Super fast game, supercharger is great. Sounds and theme are amazing. Solid game. One of the few older B/W games that I really agree with where it stands in the top 100

Game is a blast. My first DMD. I bought it 10 years ago and I like it more everyday. The supercharger is great fun. The police light on top spinning around and zz top music are awesome. Clear goals, progression through different modes, gear shift to plunge the ball and for use in video modes and shift gears into the next level. So much to like.

The follow up to Steve Ritchie's High Speed, this time with a turbo charger that accelerates the ball in the upper portion of the playfield. HS2 builds off its predecessor by incorporating a DMD. This is another game that is still pretty affordable and family friendly.

Love the supercharger and general flow of the game. Great for a couple quick games, but after a few months, there were just not enough shots to make. Probably would be great in a large collection, but in my small collection of 3 pins, there was just not enough to keep my interested.

One of the all time greats. It's one of the machines that got me into pinball and I keep going back 25 years later. The rules lack depth by todays standards but are pretty bloody good. The thril of hitting the Super Jackpot is right up there with a T2 Super. Some classic call outs and somehow I never tire of ZZ tops La Grange.

Great game all around. Although gameplay can be a little repetitive to me it never gets old. Between the red light, speed loop and music it feels like a well balanced pin. One of my favorites and looks great with a color dmd.

High Speed II surprised me by how much fun it is. It's so freaking fast . . . seriously. A loop shot sends the ball SCREAMING back at the flippers. Keeps you on your toes, for sure. The supercharger is pretty cool too, and the jackpot sequence (when it counts down how many loops you need) gets your heart pumping if the volume is turned up enough. The artwork in general, though, is a bit lackluster. I was expecting a little more.

TLDR; great game except for the artwork. Would recommend.

A real blast to play. Love the gear shifter. Really makes you feel like you are in a real car chase even more than high speed did. Seems like it could get old in a smaller collection though, but would still love to own one. Backglass looks excellent.

One of those machines that must be played if its in a collection. I love High Speed and this is just a little better in some respects. The Supercharger is a really cool gimmick that really draws you in. The backglass is a classic. Music and sound is excellent. Forever in the Top 100.

I really love this game and play it whenever I see it on location. The turbo charger is an awesome mech, you have to see it to truly appreciate it. There is an inner loop and outer orbit shot that can be repeated for combos that is really satisfying. The music is ZZ Top's La Grange and is stellar! Add in the the flashing lights, police siren sounds, and the gear shift and you've got a great game.

ZZ Top's music is a pretty key element of this game and fits very well. It's simple, fast and easy to figure out - the perfect antidote to a JJP machine. Not better or worse, but always fun and endlessly popular with my non-pinball friends.

It is a constant in my collection and on location. The number of people that have played Getaway a thousand times and will still post up and put $5 in it on a regular blows me away. It has an immense presence in the pinball community and it's simplicity and perfectly laid out shots are timeless. Hard to believe you can make High Speed better but they succeeded.

Great party pinball. Fast gameplay and good flow that can be extremely satisfying. The beacon, gear switch and super charger add to the party flair. Always a good play on location in combination with a beer. Rather short ball times also make it fun to play in a group.It does not have a deep rule set and I doubt it would last long in a private collection unless you like to party a lot at home :)

One of my favorite games without question!! “I’ll be right over honey, just one more game!!” I love the layout and the rules of this games. The biggest issue regarding Getaway is the art, it needs to be redone!
