Yeh this game can be a teeth-grinder at times, as lifeschool said a center pin would be handy
Still is the best pinball game imo.

Also the racing mini game. I can only do 2 Laps. Has anyone made it to 6 Laps.
Not sure about the drag race, I usually get the same score.
The F1 race I finish most attempts, it's almost guaranteed extra ball
The best tips would be; start turning earlier, and don't hold turn for too long.

Yeah very strange with not being able to get max 8,000 points on the mini game. you still get 30mil then 45mil on that mini game but can only achieve an aprox 6,800 score but never 8,000?

Thanks for the tip on that other mini game, ill give it a try.

You're supposed to score a faster time than 8,000. So 6,800 beats 8,000 and earns you 30million. If you really want to score 8,000 try not hitting the flippers.

Eventually got this beauty working! WHDLoad-installed version had horrible slowdowns on my BlizzardPPC-Amiga. But luckily found another HD-installed version. I got sloppy scores, but hopefully have time to get better than this:

Mean Machines: 213,793,430
The Pirate: 109,952,050
Ace Of Space: 301,899,730
Night Of The Demon: 179,290,000

Total: 804,935,210

Played the other two tables so I've at least got a score on the board for all of them. I'm very rusty at these so very underwhelming. I probably need a few more goes to get back into the swing of things.



Ace of Space: 166,174,630



Night of the Demon: 150,670,000

Existing scores:
Mean Machines: 199,853,300
The Pirate: 1,099,087,080

Total score: 1,615,785,010

NOT hitting the flippers? wth?

It's time based so lower numbers better not greater

The forums seem to crash quite a lot these days.

I've let TNT know through Lemon 64, so when he sees the message hopefully he will fix it as he usually does.
