Quickie Version
Lit saucer all day.
Go-To Flipper
Bias Right (backhands)
Skill Shot
time your plunge to go over the switch when lit for 50K (the value cycles). This qualifies the right saucer for “bonus value.”
Full Rules
In the upper playfield, complete the 7 stand-ups to score 70K, then 140K. Getting at least 4 of them lights the captive ball. Captive ball shots award 25 plus 2X playfield, then 50K plus 3X playfield, then 100K. Keep the ball up here as long as you can, but don’t bother to go back up once the ball leaves.
Completing the four drop targets on the main playfield scores 10K and goes up 10K each time thereafter up to 70K. It also increases your bonus multiplier and opens the gate on the left. The gate closes when used; get the drops again to reopen it. Don’t bother actively shooting at these targets; you may get them by accident. The saucer and the top are worth more.
The saucer, once qualified by the 50K skill shot or completing the S-H-O-T targets, awards 25K to 250K, going up in value each time it’s scored. Completing SHOT also lights the spinner in front of the saucer, but only for one shot through it. This saucer is your go-to shot\! You’ll do well if you can hit the saucer, trap the kickout from it on the right flipper, backhand the saucer again and repeat that ad nauseum.
When the ball goes in the upper left “warehouse” area, nudge to hit as many different rollovers as possible. The right flipper button serves as a rollover lane change for these. The lit rollovers are your end of ball bonus, 10K for each up to 90K; the multiplier applied to this from the drop targets goes up to 5X for 450K potential.
Playfield Risk
Balls in the upper “Agent GK” playfield can easily drain between both sets of flippers at once. All lower target rebounds are risky. The entire left side of the game is risky with only an outlane and a sometimes-gated lane; watch for drains at the lower left below the bumper\!
