this one's a hell of lot easier than pin*bot on the NES   but I don't have this one.. 

-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

1.5 mil. Damn...I barely broke .5 mil after playing 7 games...
This one is going to take some work just to get participation points...
Good thing I am off work for the week.

That tumble weed is enough to just piss you off isn't it!

EDIT:
Ah ha! After getting so pissed at it...I wanted to tilt the table intentionally and learned something new...
Now it is on like High Speed?

DOUBLE EDIT: This game took me almost an hour of playing...
Ignore my later post about breaking 10 million...

Anyways, I got on a really good streak..

Anyone got any tips?? I'm up to 1.2 million but that friggin' thing that grabs your ball and drops it in between the flippers is making me crazy!

Also, what does that weird computer voice in the beginning of the game say? I can't figure it out!!

use your tilt and hit your flippers like mad when you get grabbed... you can usually save yourself this way.

Just a headsup to everyone... make sure to get your picture quickly after you enter your initials... the game will automatically skip ahead if you wait too long. I almost missed getting a picture in time...

I know...we have been playing this game for a few hours a day and still can't get close to breaking 10 mil...Thank goodness I am off work this week, otherwise I might not have qualified.

Thanks guys. I had a really good run at this game last night. Got multi-ball quite a few times and collected the jackpot almost every time. Also got four extra balls during that run. This was a game I got early on in my NES collecting and one that I've played quite a bit over the years, so I've gotten good at it. Usually I only score around 10 to 11 million points on a good run, but my run last night was one of the best I've ever had. I agree that this is a tough game, but once you get used to the table and how to deal with the enemies, it isn't so bad.

Nice score bimmy! On my latest run, I got the multiball pretty quickly, and after those went away, I triggered it a few more times but nothing happened. It went through the motion of triggering it, but I didnt get the multiple balls. The middle of the pinball machine kept flashing though. Seemed like a different type of thing, but it pissed me off because I thought I was going to rack up major points getting the multiball more than once.
