All my EMs an SS machines. Although I do play Fast Draw sometimes just to get to the bonus drop target stage.

All of my Bingo machines. For Amusement Only. No gambling permitted.

Ummm...all of them.

Thats like... 90% of mode based games ever made. Here are some lit shots. Shoot them before time runs out.

Don't get me wrong, I wish games in general had more to their modes, but

Pretty much all games but do prefer to explore the game, play out modes, and generally try to complete things. ST has a lot of scoring opportunities with the shot multipliers but I never had much fun playing it that way. It just seemed like a ton of work to set up one shot for decent scoring and then a ton of pressure to make that shot when it was worth big points. My best games were always ones where I completed the most modes and got the deepest into the game. In order to beat my high scores or get deeper into the game, it require an epic 20 minute game. That just got tiresome. If modes were made to be quicker to complete with fewer shots, game would of been much better imo. GAT could of been used for that. Then you could decide whether to play out the full mode for more points or take the quick way out to progress faster. It would also be fun if game tracked best points in each of the modes no matter if it was level 1,2, or 3. That way you could play to bet a mode score instead of total points. I have a lot of fun playing MET just to try and beat a CIU score.

Ditto.

I generally play the few DMDs I have like a video game: I'll play the game trying to maximize my potential to getting to the end wizard mode and beating the game. If a game has it, I'll actually try to challenge myself to get the ancillary initials moreso than a high score, like being the waterfall champion in WH2O or Loop Champion in TS.

I do the same for my wedgeheads. I'll try to advance into the rules to light the special, then go for as many as I can, assuming I can even get that far.

The rest of the EMs and other SS games are all play for a high score. Same goes for any game out on location. I'm definitely going for high scores and replays on those games. Gotta maximize those quarters!

Dr. Who
I never play the game for the various modes. I'm always too addicted to shooting for Sonic Booms and big scores.

BOP
Always striving for Billionaire's Club.

Corvette. Beating the cars is an objective, but the points lie in the horsepower and torque jackpots which is why it is a highly rated PAPA tournament game.

Old habits die hard. Unless the points were enough to give a free game I did not care about score.

I sort of play with a stop watch mentality. When I was a kid the dimes and quarters were hard to come by. I was always more interested how much time I could get for my quarters.

I played to light those Specials.

Unless I'm playing in a tournament, whenever I'm dropping money into a game my goals are:

1.) Replay score
2.) Top Scores

Sometimes if I'm playing on free play or have accumulated a pile of credits I might focus on something I'm having difficulty with or just pick something to try to blow up. Or if I've got a bunch of credits on MM I'll go for Barnyard Multiball, which for whatever reason is one of my favorite things in all of pinball.
