Excellent game, Lawlor's finest! This is a keeper for me... I like the way you have to go across the country to the West Coast, and then get like a mini wizard mode... but only get around 1/2 the city inserts... then you have to go again, but be careful when you shoot the start city scoop to try and start cities you haven't lit (they toggle between 2 cities as you hit stuff)... then get another west coast city... and I think you have to go a third time to get the final west coast city (picking off any un-lit cities on the way)... finally, when you get all the cities, you get some mega wizard mode... I don't think I ever managed that while I had the game set up... Some nice long shots, nice use if 2nd plunger... like the souvenir idea too, and I think I kind of fancy Red

Quoted from RobT:

Does Red swallow balls?

Yes she does... that's part of the attraction

Quoted from roadshow16:

the satisfaction of hitting the left ramp bridge out, into the right ramp through the pops bridge out, into the blast zone shot from the mini flipper is just about as good as any combo I have ever come across, it never grows old...

I'm with you on that one! I also love how the jackpot is displayed, the 'bam bam bam' for each letter... little things please little minds

Quoted from roadshow16:

By the way 22 billion, that is one amazing score, that must have taken you forever!

It did take a while... the problem with the hi score charts is that the settings a person has on a game may differ slightly from the factory settings without the player realising... especially if played on location... I'm not sure how I had my extra ball settings for example, but I did have the game on 5 ball... I wanted to chage that when I entered the hi-score, but couldn't work out how to do it... I noticed that the way to get a big score on that game it to build sounenirs, especially from the skill shot... every time you plunge the ball, get a souvanir... with a load of souvanirs and the bonus multiplier maxed out, I seem to remember getting well over a billion in bonus...

8 billion with no extra balls is very impressive!

By the way R16, I see you have two Spiderman's... want to sell one?? I'll be over your way (ish) just before Xmas!

Also, I notice your hi-scores don't end in '0'... that's a bit odd...

Quoted from roadshow16:

Hit the blast zone 3 times to light flying rocks, complete Miami or New York and then start Seattle. Shoot flying rocks. Shoot the 5x blast zone multi-plyer and nail the blast zone off the mini flipper, makes that 30-40 million point shot worth closer to 180 million quick points. Seems obvious now I have written it, but it took me 10 years!

Well, it certainly doesn't sound obvious to me, even though I'm reading it!!

Quoted from roadshow16:

I think i'm going to hold on to them both for now, unless you fancy trading for your MM?

Not even for both Spideys!!

I'll give you a Black Knight for it... it's almost the same as an MM... very similar theme... and I'll throw in a Jungle Lord as a sweetener!
