Ok, figured it out. Just about a 10 million point update.

I'm predicting we'll see at least a 50 million point score submission from someone.



I'm not sure we'll see one that high although I can see one in the 20s or even 30s. I'm happy just getting what I got.

I was finally able to get a score high enough to beat the game so I'm satisfied with that. Hopefully we see some really high scores by the end of the contest!

My favorite is when you have a good game going and you start with ball 2 and it just goes right in the gutter. haha.

The multiplier maxes out at 10x so you can get 1mill per after that if you hit the 100k hole.

I usually get that thing up to 7 or 8, then hit the gutter. Almost threw the controller several times.

Got a little better.
Still frustrating because 2 of my balls were basically wasted.

My favorite is when you have it maxed out at 10x and you can't hit the 100k hole.
Then on your next ball you hit the 100k hole when it's at 1x

Still got 13 million despite that. Pretty good if you ask me.

Hey thanks, but all the tips here is what got me that score. I'm pretty sure someone will top it, I guarantee. I've been playing Pinbot since '95 but never had the instruction manual so I had no clue what to do. Always liked the game, but now that I understand how to score big I love it. Keep going guys! ^>^

Awesome new score. I played some more today but can't seem to get more than 12mill. That one 15 mil game I only had 1 good ball. haha.

I actually haven't played this since sunday. I may try a game or two,but I've been playing a boatload of Mega Man Powered Up the last few weeks plus there's not too many more games left that I'm really good at,much less played for more than a few minutes,so I want to focus on those few remaining games.

Wish they would've made Bride of Pin-Bot for the nes and we were playing it this week. I literally would have scored a billion points this week.

Holy crap dude! How did you manage that?! And how long did it take you? I'm obviously missing something when it comes to these pinball games and I'd like to find out what it is. No way in hell I can touch that score or even bert's monster score.
