6.4 - What happens when the switches break?

Well, unless it is a Williams/Bally game, probably nothing. Gottlieb games
can do some compensation (SF2, for example, will give you credit for hitting
a ramp if you shoot the shot underneath the ramp because the game thinks that
the ramp is stuck up; also, vice versa), but supposedly the general concept
of compensating for bad switches is patented by Williams. That is why when
your Control Room or Power Shed break on JP, nothing happens, and the game
becomes utterly useless.
