By "own" I mean having all the top 5 scores (GC and #1 thru #4) of modern DMD/LCD pins at a public place or arcade.
What pins do you "own" & have you held that status for long ?
Do you go back at it when some/all of your hard-earned scores are cleared or someone puts a thorn in your side by beating your score(s) ?
Any scores/tips you'd like to share ?
So many questions ...
Quoted from Krupps4:I don’t know about “owning” a pin in the wild. But a guy that goes by Len has about every grand master score at Tilt Pinball Bar in Minneapolis. I’d like to think that his secret is that he lives there, but maybe that wish is to just make me feel better. I’ve had one grand master score there and it was on TNA. I’d like to think that is owning the game!
Yeah, saw a similar thing at Ground Kontrol arcade in Portland, OR where many machines had the same initials for GC scores.
Yes, I'd agree, GC score owns the machine as well !
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I “owned” a Whirlwind at Lit Arcade Bar in Amarillo TX a few weeks back...and left a few credits for the next guy.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Looks like some killer scores there Blitzburgh, gonna have to work on my Whirlwind !
Owned a LOTR just last night after workin' on it for about 6 weeks at a local ciderhouse.
Pisser is that Balrog has never worked at all on this pin, & now Destroy the Ring mode doesn't work after I got GC & #1 scores, hence scoring went down after that (ah, the routed machine).
Left 8 creds on it last night after playing for 2 1/2 hours (disclaimer -- 9 creds were on it when I walked in - yessss).
