Which would fall under 'no cheating' as there isn't actually an option to do that without entering a cheat code. I think...

You're right. In the PC version you could select it in the menu - in the Amiga version you'd have to use a cheat.
Off-Topic: Now that it's over I just had a solo-run at Chaos Engine using savestates (but without a guide). That was my result: I got the feeling I've killed every enemy possible. I'm totally stunned how Rexsu was able to score 1k more than that without cheating! Hats off! P.S. What was the site with the Chaos Engine-guide? |

Right, time for the first score for this game and it's the best I've ever done at this table but I'm sure it still won't be good enough so more practice required.

Graham, can i use my original for the CD32 to play this game on Winuae? Or must use the versions provided on the links?
Another thing is about the extra ball lottery, if we gain one, we must not use it, right? |

It is possible. Just check the summary after the end of the stage. From the top you have numbers of nodes activated/existing, silver keys, gold keys, treasures, monsters and coins. In some levels I also thought that everything was killed but it wasn't. And it happens in the levels I thought I have been everywhere... This game is full of secrets. On-line guide does not contain all the secrets

Of course I know about the statistics. In some levels I just was sure getting 100% is impossible. But you're right - it has to be possible...

You can use the extra ball - it is part of the game after all, so there's no problem there either. |

(but not enough for 64k) I suppose that the guide of godcountry shows all exits and many bonus but it's not a FAQ for gain points ! A simple example with the world 2-1: In center of the map, you have two gold keys (side by side). You can take only one and the other disapears. The left gives money, energy etc, the right... nothing, it's a malus and suddenly lot of littles volcanoes are emerging. Normaly you take the left key, it's more easy for complete the game but for make a high score it's not the good way because a special arm and boom all vocanoes destroyed and many points in gift Otherwise look at the shot (attach file), it's a part of the secret; i know, it's incomprehensible, even for me In fact for my score i didn't choose all C exits ! Back to Pinball Fantasies: 31,805,430 Sorry for the little score because P.Fantasies is a full discovery for me. I promise to give a better score Last edited by rexsu; 03 January 2010 at 00:00. |

@rexsu: Looks like you really invested a lot of time into CE... The thing with the volcanoes - yes, I always do that, too. All we want is enemies, keys, yin-yangs, telephones and nodes because nothing else gives points.
Is it advantageous to start level 4-2 from point A (I wasn't able to score as many points when starting from B there...). Come on - please tell your order of exits you've taken (can't decypher anything from your foto). |
