I'm gonna play along with you guys again this week and Matt's score inspired me to give it a go this afternoon. I had a score yesterday in the 600K range, but I've got an even better one that I will share a little bit later. It's not as good as my personal best (which is 3,151,470), but it's still pretty darn good.
After playing for about two hours straight, I had a score of 960k and I was still on my first ball (with two in play) and my laptop froze up. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.



I guess I need to step up my game. Makes me wonder what the top scores will be for this one.

The Twin Galaxies record is 8,253,400 so that's something to shoot for. I'd be happy just to break the million point mark after my laptop ruined my one good run of the day. At least I've got the rest of the week.

Pinball you say? I gotta get my ass back in this thing, I've missed some easy scoring opps over the past month.

I finally broke the million point mark after playing for about two and a half hours this morning. I'm satisfied with my score, so I'm probably going to call it a week.

I'm a long time lurker of NA, but I keep on meaning to join as these contests look like a lot of fun. Pinball seemed like a good game to start with.

EDIT: Better score below.

Almost all of the score came from one ball. The cherries do seem key, once you get the advance multiball going it's a real breeze.

Hey thanks for the warm welcome Krunch! I've been playing in my spare time the last two days without expecting to even hit a mill and then it just all clicked on my first try today. I've neglected too much of the NES library recently so I'm looking forward to taking part in these weekly contests.

Great score Notrevania!

I think tonight is my last chance to put up another score, and I don't even know if I'm gonna have the chance...

Going to Atlantic City this weekend. Wish me luck!

I would if I were you. Nothing like a good pinball game to relax after a hard day of work!

If you can break a mil now, I'm sure you can get multiple millions by the end of the week. You just need to do THAT awesome game waiting for you ahead.

4,910,440 (My score does not count on the leaderboard)



This is my best run ever on this game and I was in the zone.  I got three extra balls and advanced the multiplier to x5 on my second ball and started racking up the points.  My second to last ball was probably my worst, as I hardly got any points on that one.  I was hoping to crack 5 million on this attempt, but no such luck.  Even though my score doesn't count in the standings, guillavoie, you have your work cut out for you this week

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

"Wait...Bimmy and Jimmy??  How'd they make a mistake like this!?  Bimmy isn't even a real name!"
