Thanks Krunch, your latest score is also a doozy. After choking at 2.5 mill a couple times I knew I could do better, but I didn't expect to hit that high.

I've had a lot of fun with this game. Thanks to bimmy for organizing these contests.

Killer enough for ya? Lol.

419,060.

Fun game, luck just wasn't with me. 95% of the times I got to the bottom, the ball fell through the little hole next to the bumper. Oh well, at least I enjoyed playing it. There's always next week!

UPDATE: 1,600,490

I finally cracked a million after getting close a few times. This was a strange run, as I barely got to 33K on my first ball, then had the run of my life on the second with over 1.3 million, and then fizzling out on my bonus and last balls. Anyway, I'm pretty happy right now to say the least.

Since I'm going to work in a couple hours and I think I topped out on this run, I'm now officially done with this contest. It's been a fun week.

I doesn't look like I'm going to get another chance to play before the contest ends so I guess I'm stuck with my 1.3 million. Great scores everybody!

This is the best I could do this week.  Might not be a top 5 score but at least I know I've got a couple decent balls under my belt.

babywuchki -  1,631,260

Score: 8,494,680

After missing a few weeks I'm back! This one took me a couple hours to complete, had a crappy first ball and then my second ball was amazing! I love some pinball games but this one takes a long time to really start racking up points.

DING DING DING DING!!!! That's right, it's random prize time again. Up for grabs this time around is a cart only copy of Robocop for the NES. The game has been cleaned and tested on my front loader and it worked on the first try! The game has two small defects on the back of the carts. First, there is a nick in the back label, and second, there are two small holes drilled into the back of the casing, more than likely as an indentifying mark. Aside from those few issues, the game looks great! The winner won't be disappointed in this game The only two who will not be eligible for the prize are CLAYB1RD and Thundercat08 who have previously won random prize drawings. I have assigned everyone a number from 1 to 14. Here is everyone's number:

1 - dev(2)
2 - Notrevania
3 - sunsetflip84
4 - EgasKrad
5 - mattyjmania
6 - smick
7 - guillavoie
8 - bearcat-doug
9 - RetroNESNerd
10 - MegaMartyr
11 - gutsman004
12 - babywuchki
13 - EoTN
14 - Krunch

I will announce the winner shortly

And we have a winner!  I have also attached the picture since the number is hard to read.



Congratulations to babywuchki for winning Robocop
