Version 1.1
Date: June 10, 1996
G11: Checksum: 4E11
Changes from revision 1.0:
The Loop/Gate has been modified to kick balls out of the
trough immediately, and to kick balls out of the shooter lane
immediately.
Completing the MARTIAN targets when they are available but
when the Martian Attack feature cannot be enabled (i.e. when
Rule The Universe is lit) now awards 1 Martian Bomb instead
of nothing.
The five way combo was being audited for every combo past
the fifth (i.e. 6, 7, 8, ..., etc). This has been corrected.
Fixed the Ball Save adjustment to enable turning off ball saves.
Modified some display and lamp effects.
100 billion scores and higher now display properly in high
score to date, status report, and attract mode.
The maximum shot value during Total Annihilation was changed
from 500 million to 250 million.
Total bonus is now displayed in the status report.
In version 1.0, if super jets was running and a loop shot
was completed (i.e. all three lights solid), a shot to the
loop would divert the ball to the jets. This is not a bug,
rather, a feature. This behavior has been changed so that
a ball shot to a completed loop will not be diverted to the
jets (thus making the 5-way combo a bit easier to obtain).
A "dirty pool" feature was added. If an attack wave is not
running, and the motorized 3-bank is up, and the center trough
switch (behind the drop target) is made, the player is credited
with the next attack wave. This feature is awarded only once
per player, per game.
Stroke of Luck is now enabled via the bottom lanes even when
it cannot be collected (i.e. during multiball). It still can't
be collected during multiball, of course, but when multiball
ends, Stroke of Luck will be lit if enabled in this way.
If Super Jets was running when Rule the Universe was started,
there was no way to start Rule the Universe again on the same
ball (since super jets is a "until end of ball" feature). If
this case is detected, the super jets light is now spotted.
