I notice you have the game too in your collection so I am wondering if you know some of the rules of it? Mainly getting the "Mystery" is there a combination of lights that need to be on other than just the "Mystery" light by the ramp? It looks like some of the "Andretti" logos need to be lit up too but I can't figure out which ones and if anything else needs to be completed first I do get the "Mystery" award now and then just seems random. Also, do you find that ramp to be a real pain to get the ball to travel all the way up? I mean, could they make the incline any steeper? Wish there was a way to change the incline just a tad but I doubt it is possible.

Thank you for the link, it seems the "Start Stop Watch" must first be lit in order to collect the "Mystery" award from the ramp. I am on tournament mode / free play and I still was able to get the 500 million point award that is a crazy amount of points, but even with it I still haven't beaten the programmed high score to date of 1,900,000,000.

That ramp is definitely a tough shot to make. I find the ball needs to be already traveling at a pretty decent rate to have a good chance of it making it all the way up the ramp. Trying to hit it from the right flipper when the ball is just trickling to it is quite a tough shot.

3 billion? wow, I have yet to come close to that, my fastest stop watch time is 1.2 also extreme luck to get that time too to get the ball around the right orbit without hitting any other target or switch.

True it is a very fun game without the deepest of rules or overly complicated ideas. That's one of the reasons I like it a very easy game to learn what to do to "win" I mean, I'm playing pinball not watching a movie..
