Hint: in Viva! Golf after you hit the gophers in the holes, go for the hole in the pond. If the ball gets in the hole in the pond, A gaint Gopher will show on screen and you will get 10,000 points.

I just found something new in Viva Golf, It you get the ball into the hole where there is a pond and the gopher shows up a 2nd time, you will get 20,000 points.

355,920 is my total of points for all 3 board combined using my highest scores for each board. My sum total is correct without using a calculator.

PopPop - 182,660

Viva Golf - 33,350

Circus - 20,270

Total - 236,280

I need to get the hang of the last two, but PopPop is pretty easy.

Hope you all had fun playing Pinball! What a weird game. Unique concept. Anybody know if the Amiga game iis related at all? Or are the similar names just a coincidence?

Anyway, we're done!
