Also brainstorming for this one... but then we have six weeks for this so we can afford to. (This is also giving me ideas that in the future I need to vote on the new game on the second to last week of the month and this discuss how we'll play it in the last week before. No time wasted)

What are the options on this game? Levels of difficulty listed?

My goal on these type of games is to have a standard set difficulty, but to allow for all levels of play. I know on Ruiner Pinball there are two different pinball setups, so how about Fantasies?

I'll look at this game more later tonight. In the meantime, give suggestions and ideas.

I believe that Stones 'n Bones is the most popular table.

I think choosing only one table would make thinks easier for everybody (and, moreover, we could choose this game again for another contest, with another table later)

So do you agree with Stones and Bones as the table?

I'm sorry but I don't know very well this game, so I'll let other people decide

[doctorclu]

STONES and BONES board it is! (Select at main menu and hit #4 on controller pad)

My first score, and dispite how it looks you know this is Pinball so this score is nothing... 7,768,810.

Here is the promised photo, my initials are PJN (from my real name).

Official photo size was 2.592x1.944 but I reduced it to 800x...

GD is a friend of mine, he also like to play this game, but I beat him with Stones'n Bones

I hope others will still continue playing this game, because they can beat my score.
There is an bug in the game... I don't know exactly how it goes, but here is what I think happened.
When I got the number 1 score beat on the original score table (example) 100.000.000 The game added a 1 before the score (1.100.000.000) Then my score went higher, and officially I had to get the score 1.200.000.000, but due to the bug it changed the score to 10.100.000.000
And I think if you get the score 1.300.000.000 it will add another 0 to the front score changing it to 100.100.000.000

I have read it also on the internet somewhere, can't remember on what site that was...

Remove the 10 in front of the score - its a soring bug in the game that only occurs in certain situations - it isnt a bonus and artifically inflates the score - the rest of the score is correct.

[Goochman]

First try whipped out 93,166,220 - not bad after 10 yesars

See that is what I like to hear! People trying games that have gathered dust and dusting them off again. Sweet!!

So yeh, got the score updated, have to give this (and Super Burnout) another go.

Try to get as many as SCREAMS bonus points as you can, It's quite easy to shoot the ball with your left flipper to the right in the bonus screams, use your right flipper to bounce the ball to the left flipper, and have another go to collect a Scream .
I had about 60 screams collected...

[Kasumi Ninja]

Is this contest still on? I've just joined the forum and was sad to see some of my fav games have already been done, like Tempest 2000

I'm rubbish at pinball games, but I might give it a quick blast

[Isgoed]

Yes, information can be found in the first post of this thread.

[Kasumi Ninja]

I hope people haven't been cheating, using 5 balls instead of 3.....but then again nobody would know, except you and your conscience

[Kasumi Ninja]

Well I ended getting about 24 Screams myself but ended up with quite a respectable 37,968,170 points. Quite an improvement on the 18,000,000 or so I had got saved as an high score from ages ago. If I come 3rd that'll do me!

Sorry about the rubbish photo, if you click on it to make it full size you'll see my score, I'm down as KAS.....

My score for this addicting game! 119,862,020

EDIT: Played this game, using 5 balls, easy difficulty

Edited by Isgoed, Sun Mar 30, 2008 3:21 PM.

[Kasumi Ninja]

I thought 3 balls was standard not 5! Someone should have clarified!

[Isgoed]

The game clarifies it self!

If you go to the options screen, and click on the ´3 or 5 balls´ setting, there is a text that tells you that the 3 balls setting is for expert players.

I did not know this, until I read your post concerning the number of balls, and found out for myself looking at the options screen.

So defaults to three? What is the default?
