On this one, I noticed you were the only one pushing the score up, so I thought I'd make second place a little closer Wongo's MO is to come in on a game that's getting hate and put up a crazy score. Good to have ya here! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) You can actually get an extra ball in this game, but I’ve never done it cuz it’s ludicrously IMPOSSIBLE to do. On screen 3 you have to knock down the 4 lower level targets. Lol but you have to do that 4 times ON THE SAME BALL!!!!!????? 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️ Are you friggin kidding me???? Yet another mind numbingly stupid programming decision..... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Edited August 16, 2022 by Rickster8 Wording 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimblargh Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 21,280 flippers for me! One player option. I am super busy atm and I was about to settle for participation points but then I had a modest pinball breakthrough 😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) My Pinball Update: Just got my 'PB'.... In the previous game I scored 171k and was VERY close to blowing that game open. Decided to play one more and hit the jackpot. 😁👍 1st ball was very good 2nd ball was phenomenal. I had a 4x30 bonus on this ball 😮 3rd ball was total crap 4th ball was total crap 5th ball was decent enough to get me from 365k to 432k The game was played using emulation (Ultimate Intellivision Flashback) and was not recorded so not eligible for Twin Galaxies... 🥺 PINBALL - 1 PLAYER MODE - 432,350 POINTS!!!

Awesome! I had one game last night where I scored 110k on the first ball and then drained 4x in a row. Forgive my sexism, but I've started to refer to this game as a "she." I keep trying to get her to like me, but she doesn't. She even caused one of my Inty 2 controllers to stop responding last night (but I think it was one I had fixed years ago with a conductive pen). She also gave me a blister (on my left ring finger of all places) because of the way I was holding the controller. I guess I should take the hint, or else I'm going to have to pull a Cyrano on her to get her to give up the big points. My highest score from late last night was 163,700 But srsly, I will probably try emulation next just to give my Intellivision a break. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crade Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 30200 I kinda like this one, surprised at all the hate.. I think it's better than the pinball games on the NES.. Except pinball quest of course Every time I get a good game it resets though.. good thing it has a high score on the title 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crade Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 On 8/15/2022 at 6:06 PM, Rickster8 said: Lol, I would agree that BOTH are pretty bad. To me QBERT is worse. The thing that is absolutely dreadful with this pinball game is on the 2nd screen there are two flippers to the right and there's a little red square between the two flippers. Well the ball will get caught there numerous times and you have to bump the game to dislodge the ball which often results in tilting the game... Pretty fkin stupid programming right there..... 🙄 That spot isn't so bad.. You could get tilt but you can recover.. This one is completely immune to tilt and killed my whole game! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionMaster Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I hit a bunch of those orange sticks on the left side and got up to a “5”. I thought I would get massive points for the “end of ball bonus”…. I literally got 5 points! WTF? Anyway!!! Super excited to get my new PB! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
