Zoyx Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry, but the T&F controller does not work with Midnight Magic - the red button has no function... 204,170 Fotos-1167.jpg I use the down arrow on my keyboard to bring the plunger back. Use the red button to release the plunger. This is using Stella on my PC with the T&F controller plugged into a Stelladapter.

karokoenig Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 After about 2 hours of failure, I achieved a significant improvement in Midnight Magic: 482,150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 603,060 I've found that I can have a bunch of games in a row that end in seconds, and then I'll get one ball that refuses to drain, without regard to how inept my playing is. Also, found out that 5X is the maximum multiplier, which was a common parameter in the brick-and-mortar machines back in the day. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectionAngle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I use the down arrow on my keyboard to bring the plunger back. Use the red button to release the plunger. This is using Stella on my PC with the T&F controller plugged into a Stelladapter. I was wondering how you pulled back the plunger. Thanks for the description. Since my mind is easily confused, I gave up trying to push right when the ball went right and left when the ball went left, and I just pull down to cover both options. Now that I have a decent (for me) score, I might try to fine tune things a little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yay! I qualified for the bonus on my first ball. Then it all went downhill very quickly. Video Pinball next! 109,900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss 2600 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Funny, my first go-around with the bonus game, I got around 13,000 total. My second go-around, I got almost 85,000 on the first ball! That's how the pinball bounces. Video Pinball 149,999 Looks like I need to get my Midnight Magic score up if I want extra bonus points.

Gorfy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't know how you guys are getting those monster scores above 500k! I'll have to watch Oyama's video.... Anyways, an improvement for me: 323,735 I even got the 5x bonus this game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Tried Video Pinball for an hour now, and I don't think I have the energy to try and match my MM score. I think I'll just call it a week and hope against hope that my Top-10 MM score holds up. The bonus can go fornicate itself :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't know how you guys are getting those monster scores above 500k! I'll have to watch Oyama's video.... Anyways, an improvement for me: 323,735 I even got the 5x bonus this game It's been a while since I did any tips, so here ya go: 1. Extra Ball is everything. Get the first multiplier and then the extra ball lane before worrying about anything else. 2. When the ball is on the lower flippers, the only goal is to get the ball back to the top of the machine. 3. Use the the upper flipper backflip into the sponge target. There are not many controlled shots available, but this is one of them. After hitting the target, the ball will roll straight down the wall onto the upper flipper. Any of the multiplier targets can be hit from either upper flipper this way. 4. Chain the extra balls together. Gauge the plunger shot to clear targets. The targets do not reset when an extra ball drains, so there are probably less targets needed to get the next extra ball. The multiplier stays, too, which boosts the score. 5. If the ball is speeding toward the bottom flippers, be patient and let the ball bounce when there is no good shot available. It's easier to lose the ball by flipper-flailing than it is by watching it bounce. 6. The safest shot from the lower flippers is the center spinner. This is also the 5X money shot. The spinner scores big and the ball ends up in the middle of the bumpers that are worth 5000 points a pop. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) 871,155 Was at 700,000 on ball one, then everything went horribly wrong. But I'll take it. Video Pinball Bonus +1 871,155 - 844,603 = 26,552 Lost a bonus point, but still a net gain with the new score. .

Scrabbler15 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Rollage !!! (976965) I'll forgo the Video Pinball bonus to take the rollage. I played it the rest of the way to the million. I was on ball three at the million. I really wanted this one. It took all week, I got it. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
