6.7 - How can the game get harder otherwise? (Pinball Technically Speaking)

Most games nowadays allow you to adjust almost everything about the game you
could possibly think of. For example: extra ball % (target value for number
of games with an extra ball in it), replay % (discussed in question 3.10),
number of tilt warnings given before the game actually tilts, number of extra
balls you can get per game or per ball, number of extra balls in reserve at
once, and practically every single timer or difficulty of each individual
award possible in the game.

There are also usually 5 settings that each game will come with to make it
easier for the operator to select the general difficulty he wants for the
game: extra-easy, easy, medium, hard, and extra-hard. With Data East games,
sometimes changing the overall difficulty level will change things that you
couldn't normally change from menus. Why? I don't know. Also, there is an
"install 5 ball rules" option that will set the game to 5 balls per play and
install harder rules, usually hard or extra-hard. This is to make up for the
extra 2 balls you will get during the game.
