I knew when I got it it wouldn't be long before a perfect game happened. Dialing in one shot from a cradled flipper is not too difficult. I got my first 300 in regulation last night. I got my 2nd the next game. I haven't been able to repeat it again, but it seems like something that could be done fairly consistently.

Do all games allow a flipper cradle from the launch? It would certainly add a level of difficulty shooting on the fly. I'm thinking about lowering the angle of the flippers.

Has anyone bothered with high scores on the other modes? I've been one shot away from perfect on Flash a couple times. It seems like Strike 90 could potentially last forever. 12 consecutive strikes is fun and doesn't take that long. Strike 90 takes too long.

I'm partially hoping my cradled shot perfect game is a cheesy win on a badly set up game. It might increase the longevity slightly, although I think this will be going up for sale soon. I do like having a novelty game in the game room. Part of me wishes I held on to Ice Cold Beer. It's expensive now.

Am I the only one that drinks alone and tries to hit the same shot over and over? I did list the game for trade, but there is something relaxing about a quick game on this thing. I've perfected Flash and standard a bunch of times now. Strike 90 is a marathon and for some reason my streaks are typically much less. Here is my best.

To be fair you really shouldn't be cradling the ball, my friend that has this machine too, he does it all of the time, not fair. His machines playfield angle is different then mine that is how he manages to "cheat", IMO.....
