About Getaway, The

"Getaway, The" for Game Boy adapts a pinball machine design into a handheld format. Its primary playfield incorporates racing imagery like roads and ramps, where interacting with bumpers and targets increases the player's score.

Progress involves a secondary driving sequence, activated by a specific ramp, which shifts the gameplay to a traffic-dodging mode reminiscent of titles like OutRun. The objective is to reach a hideout while evading police pursuit, a task that can involve deploying multiple balls as a distraction. The session concludes upon successfully arriving at this destination.
