I had a different game in mind, but after yesterday at work, a nice relaxing pinball game comes to mind instead...

Relaxing??? I think not!!! Three different tables, those damn dog avatars all over, and yes, that damned moving shot on the 2nd table which is almost as elusive as earning an extra ball on the final table (and those damn turtles, thank god their not Ninja!)

Scores will be accepted until Sunday, October 16th, at 11:00 am Eastern...

Well you could also use an emulator, but the real thing is better of course.

I don't have this cart, so I guess I will have to use an emulator for this one.

Don't think I'll be racking up any great scores but it'll be fun trying! :D

I'm not going to win. It's another one of those games... The ball always drops in there once I put the ball in play. But that was in the past. Lets see how I do now...

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm sure there are huge scores possible if you know what you're doing though!

Parsley's hint's and tips, Part 1

Table 1 (Green table).... Hold the plunger down all the way to the bottom to get the ball to bounce on the bumpers on the left for 210 points and then go in the left safety hole, lighting up the plunger block on the bottom left and netting you a 1,000 point bonus credit. If the ball comes down the right side, you can then shoot it up for one of the gold bar targets, netting a 2nd 1,000 point bonus credit, and if it's the first target, catch it on your left flipper to shoot it for the right plunger block. (This should get you started until part 2 of the Pinball hint's and tips come out)

Yeah, I might not win, but I did get a new high score. I will have to upload at another time, for our internet modem is broken.

I don't get it... don't think I ever will...

The only Pinball games I'm got at are Midnight Magic and Thunderball... for
2600 and O2.

Is there anyway to stop the ball from "falling down the middle" after it goes through the DOG bonus chambers??!

About 50% of the time I can't save the ball!

I had 3 lives left at 14ks, then lost all 3 after the ball flew down the center and the flippers couldn't save it... :P

I still think this Pinball is better then Video Pinball for 2600... the Intv one, you need actual skills and timing, not just nudge and wait all the time.

Scores updated as of this post, and welcome to the party centiqueen81...

Hint on the ball down the middle, if you cant time it correctly with the left flipper, bumping is ALSO your friend, just don't overdo it or you'll tilt the game (background will change color and lock out the flippers)
