My brother’s father-in-law, having heard me talk about collecting pinball machines, decided he wanted one. He left it up to me to get him “the right” one. He requested an inexpensive one that’s got easy to understand yet tough to master objectives, a game that would keep his interest a long time. What other choice was there... Stars all the way!

710,260... my new high score! I love hearing that 10,000 chime rapid fire 10 straight times a few times during the game. I usually don’t get to hear it at all. Then I ducked for cover when the game ended and the knocker went off!

So I have mine set up for 3 bpg, drops require both banks down after double bonus and WOW awards extra ball (don’t believe I’ve ever gotten that far yet), unlimited roving star special that awards 100,000 points, extra ball at 280,000 and 380,000 points. Full disclosure, yesterday’s high score game occurred with a fluke. One ball went into the outhole so fast it went right to the shooter without the ball ending. So it was as if I got an extra ball. I think I really should reset the high score back to its previous mark of about 450k or so!
