score updated, had to suicide my last 2 balls to post in time!





Don't feel bad, based on my experience of high scoring first balls, those other two were only going to average 100k each

It was actually a tough decision whether to keep playing or post the score. I had the 3 multi-balls going and I was one mini rc pro-am bonus game away from getting that UFO/flying saucer, which I'm pretty sure was about a 1 million point bonus when I got the first time.

Yeah, based on what I read, the first wizard bonus (3 safe games and 3 helicopter games) is worth 1MM, the second wizard bonus (3 more of each) is worth 2 million.

Oh well... I'll have to add this one to the list of games I'd like to revisit at some point (along with Qix, Dig Dug2, Adventure Island, etc.). I'm sure that when Bunny Boy releases his AVS with the scoreboard feature it will add some extra motivation to go back and try to top some of the old scores we've posted.

I agree with all of those but Qix.

That game just keeps going like Tetris, it just becomes close to unplayable in the low-teens.
