I do not think I have gotten past Defcon 3.

Not sure if I will be able to do much better. We'll see. Current best, 242,422,840.

I don't think I even got down to Defcon 3 on this game. I managed to get up to 5X multipliers on at least two balls, one of the multipliers giving me 100,000 points at the end of my first ball. Even without achieving much, those multipliers are crucial, it seems!

LOL, yeah, I'm definitely done with this one. When you go 160 million points on your first ball then immediately drain the other four or five, I think it's time to pull the plug. Pulled out this cartridge and popped in next week's game instead.

Less than a day left to get your scores in for the full value! The cut-off time will be around 4PM Eastern time tomorrow, 12/18, when I plan to have the next round up and ready

A couple more tries this morning and I scored: 208,645,100.

So many bad design choices in Ruiner. During multiball I accidentally hit one ball over to the 'shelter' table. How are you supposed to play pinball across two tables simultaneously? I don't think there are any high-scoring targets on the 'shelter' table either. The only thing worth hitting is the ramp to get back to the main table. Also, the damn bombs and tanks disrupt and randomize every shot. I like squishing the civilians though. A little like Odama (GC) or Undead Attack Pinball (iOS).


Marvel Pinball (PS3) released four new DLC tables this week and Zen Pinball (PS3) released one new DLC table. So... lots of video pinball for me the last few days. Ruiner is the weakest link. Goodbye.

Well if I dont post again before the deadline it means I wasnt able to accomplish anything exciting. I realize I'm just a commoner about such things but I think once you start learning some of the things Ruiner expects from you its not such a bad Pinball game taken in moderation. lol.

I still kind of consider Ruiner pinball itself more cool as a tech demo than anything else.

All right everyone, the round's over. Any stragglers that submit a score will receive the same amount of participation points as the lowest scoring player this round.

I will have a new thread up for Missile Command 3D later tonight.

Well, if you get a chance to play it, submit a score anyway for a whopping 11 points!

GKC, you scored the highest on the Ruiner Table than anyone else has during HSC play. You've been added to the top-score list (stickied at the top of the Jaguar HSC forum).

Awesome. Thanks. It will never happen again though.
