1.95bill for grand champ
like 2.87bill for buy-in

oh yea...like 415mill for litz champ

2.4 bill, buy in turned off. What are your out posts set at? Mine are both in the middle.

Jesse Howard put up a 9,994,646,100 on mine. No buy ins. Posts forward - as it came from the factory.

He tilted it so it wouldn't role over.

Apparently with the ROM revision in it, he could have kept going.

I am at 2.004 billion. Only 360 for LITZ. Have never done well in LITZ. I feel higher scores are in my future!! I am stunned by 9.9 billion. There must be something I don't understand about the scoring......
Please share the scoring secrets!

That's insane!

My TZ is 3 ball, no buy-in, factory defaults except for these two settings:

1) Dead End Extra Ball Memory - Yes
2) Outlane Difficulty - Easy

I'm somewhere between 3-4 billion for my best score ever, with no buy-in. However, I collected an extra ball instead of a replay, and the outlane posts were forward. This is the best I've managed over almost 4 years of steady play. I don't think I'll ever top 4 or 5 billion.

Killer.gif .I'll have my Pict's up in Lil-while , the wife is Horney .. I wanted the nite off

Um, how do you reset the scores? I'm new to TZ, and all the scores right now are from the last owner on mine. I'd like to slowly build up mine, rather than play for months before I get near his

Unplug and take out batteries or reset scores in menu.

GC - 3.25 B; LITZ -579 M

Open the coin door and Press the Black Button to the Right for 5 seconds ,, Automatic Reset..

Hmmm,,

I have my two tops both just below 3B (erks me to no end), and my LITZ at 482M.

I wanna see Proff !! I haven't been able to Top my LITZ score in almost 2 Yr's now.. You have to Beat the Power at Least 2-Times plus Everything else..

gweempose ,, 426M is an Outstanding score for LITZ.. TZ Rock's !!!

Nice score toby

My best, on an insane litz-twice-in-one-game run (3-ball, no buy-in):

1,656,595,260
Too lazy to post a pic.

Hi score with buy-in, 1.5 billion, 405 million on LITZ, this thread has me determined to improve....some good scores already posted

Dont laugh but I intend on clocking this game by the end of the year

Only 1.2B without buy-ins. I haven't owned it for very long. Can't recall what my best LITZ was. All my high scores got wiped when I installed the 9.4H ROM.

I used to have a pic of my 2.6 billion, LITZ I believe was 400+ million. All my other highs were below 2 billion.

The coin door button won't reset the GC score, though. You have to go through menus for that one.

The score depends so much on the configuration. The machines with the posts that keep the ball from exiting the bumpers on the left side are WAY easier.

Mine was 1.8B before clearcoating my PF, 580M in the ~300 games since. The CC completely changed the way the game plays.

I have played CC'd games and you are right, it does change the way the ball moves. Not bad or good, it is different tho.

I recently clearcoated my PF too and I'm right around the same score as herg since doing that.
My TZ is early production so it does have the two posts between the red and yellow bumpers. I don't know if this makes it much easier? Having the ball bounce out of the right side every time is also very unpredictable and I get a lot of drains down the middle from a bad bounce coming off the post nearest the yellow pop-bumper. The bumpers on this game are a menace. I need to find some old rubber for that area to keep the bounce down

I agree,On CC'd games the ball tends to glide on the playfield instead of rolling especially on hard shots from the flippers.

I need to just keep the ball out of the bumpers. They are killers.

The slot kickout is one of the biggest changes since CC. I used to be able to let the ball bounce off the right flipper and land softly on the left for a trap. Now, it usually hits the corner of the left slingshot and bounces unpredictably. I've taken to live catching on the right, but it's way more risky that the bounce pass I did before. I suspect that's one of the biggest factors in my reduced scores.

hah I can't, this was before I added the home roms about 6 months ago. I was holding off on putting the roms in forever, as I didn't want to erase my scores, and then I had my highest one, and though, damn, if I had done this before...

It's only like 2b now, but I think the LITZ is since... I'll check. Looks like others have posted higher than me.

No one's scores really matter though. I have played other totally shopped TZ's that play great just like mine, and so many things are just different.. pitch/angle left to right, flipper positions, waxed/not, that your high score on one machine may be way out of whack of what you would post on another TZ.

(at least that's my excuse for not having the highest out of everyone here anyway )

I've yet to break 1B on mine... it's just so effing hard. I hit 1.7B at Jim Belsito's halloween party on my first and only game. His scoop and outlanes were much more forgiving for whatever reason.

It Don't matter what Our Score's are ,, But it's Great to have Only TZ owner's on this Thread posting.. I Love my TZ , and It's a Blast to Play !! Congrat's Everyone B_R

I Should start a New thread called " TZ Owner's Only " so we can Brag a bit !! believe i Will ..

Not in full agreement there.

I have done it both ways in my TZ and WH2O, and the number of slower balls that rebound off the rubber into the center drain is maddening. I almost think it is the reverse.

But I will take out the star posts and rubber on my TZ, play it for a while and see if I have a change of opinion.

1.7 billion. 3 ball, no buy in.

Does anyone have Buy-n Scores.. I have mine set to 1- Buy-n Only !!

Maybe it's all perception. Since I've seen a ton of left drains from the bumpers, I think that's worse. I've only played maybe 50 games on machines with the posts.

I have a 3 something on mine. My brother put up like a 674 LITZ...no idea how he did it...hasven't been able to beat it that bastard!

So, probably a dumb question. It sounds like having the out posts all the way forward is the factory default settings for 3-ball? Is that correct?

If so I'll have to move mine forward and repost my score =D

Whats LITZ?

ditto. Sometimes I gotta play one more ball....Greeeeeeeeeeed.

2.7bill

I got this one

Lost in The Zone

The acronym for the wizard mode in TZ: Lost In The Zone.

I knew my skill level was fairly low but this thread puts it in perspective. 1.3b, 285 litz (only made it a few times) Still, love TZ. Still learning. Very unique pin. Mine loves its new pdi.

I DO have 1 ball buy in activated....as I believe it's the factory setting, and it's the only way I've ever played it, or seen it set up. I always thought it weird, because there is no "buy-in" score board.

So what's this factory setting for outlane posts? I have mine halfway both sides....are you saying they are to be all the way open or closed?

Yep. Saw one recently with some pretty low high Scores and thought it was going to be a feeding frenzy! Game set up different & totally kicked my ass like a child
After 6+ years obviously my brain & body are wired to mine.

What version of the software are you using? There is definitely a separate set of buy-in high scores on 9.4H.

So THAT is the reason to update the software eh? To be honest I never really looked into it because I heard it had a LITZ cheat which I didn't like the idea of.
EDIT: Also it will not except money on that version? I like putting in money for some reason.

I was reading an article about playing tournaments and I forget who said it but he said he does not like playing pins he owns in competition. He is wired to play his and others do not play the same and everything is off.

I think my best was 4-5 Billion, all factory settings. I remember getting to LITZ twice on the first ball. It was crazy. I think after that game, I didn't touch TZ for six months. I figure it needed time to heal.

Go out on top!

It's a fun feature. If you have a friend or someone not really skilled, you ask them if you can hold the buy-in button for a second (I think that is the button), and on the next door panel they get, they find themselves in the middle of a six ball multiball while they crap their pants and you crack up!

In an ideal world, e.i.

Finally have mine documented here. A shadowy comparison to some of the others but, the best I could do.
