Not sure you would do 12mil, I'm pretty sure the score loops after 10mil, then you can access ending credit.


It loops on the table, but the screen where it counts the bonus still works fine. You get to the credits screen by getting over 10 mil and then dying.


Thanks for the explanation man!


this is not the case- the between-balls screen doesn't show the 10 millions digit. because it's likely someone is going to crack 10 million on one ball, i'm going to add an addendum to the rules for posting a score: 

if you're submitting a score of 11 million or over, you have to get a pic of your actual score (will not have the 10 millions place visible), and then dump the rest of your balls. after your game is over, you get the credits, and then you get to the high score entry screen, which does show the 10 millions place. you also need to get a pic of that screen, with the final score near your actual score to prove you rolled the counter. it's possible you're going to earn some extra points going through the rest of your balls. just try to minimize that to have your scores as close as possible.

scores between 10 and 11 mil have a leading 0 with a comma on the between-balls screen, so a pic of that should do fine for that gap.

Being on trips sucks sometimes; I hate using emulators, but it looks it will be my only option for the next month. Anyways, I gave this a lot of time and still never had an amazing score. There was a time where the multiplier when launching was at X8 for me, and a couple more launches and I would've had a huge score, but that damn dude would keep eating my ball!

the inconsistency, or maybe the shifting consistency, of this game is increasingly frustrating



Wow, nice score Lincoln!  I agree with you, the shifting consistency of this game is frustrating.  Just updated my score.  Kept playing after I lost the 1st ball and ended up scoring over 15 million points.

I'm bummed with this contest. I wanted to play, and only had time during the weekend. But my computer got screwed up, and I formatted hard drive and reinstalled the shit all weekend long...

AH!  Now I've got to try to get second back   Nah, just kidding, I'm done with this game for a while.  I think I played at least 50 games of pinball this week and now I've had enough.  Congrats on second, Matt.  That's a nice score!
