    I would say the original BoP is dull and lifeless too. My 99B game last week was one of the most boring long time games I've ever played and I believe that I wont play this table anymore. She's alive and I'm sleeping during the ramp shots. :confused:

    Hurricane - first impressions

    I haven't watched the clock but not 6 or 8 hours, should be 4 or 5 hours max. The key for good scores is simple as always. Ignore all the "toys" like Ferris Wheel, Jackpot, Dummy (after getting the two EBs.), Clown Time, Skillshot, Palace Letters and Hurricane and go for Multiball only. It's...

    Tourney 2016-1-14 ???

    Tourney is over. I've finished with place one and two in Steam Gold. 2x 500 points = 1000 points at four tables. :p Something went wrong with the Steam Gold scoring...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Yes, the TPA ball control feature is very poor. I would say it's easier to play. :p The new Glass-Off Mode from Timeshock is also the reference in this discipline. No problem. You've made this voluntary work since years just for fun and it's great...

    If you have access to a real Medieval Madness you can check out this very very late ROM bug I've found in my long 99B game: After getting more than 255 Damsels, Peasants, Catapults or Jousts (I can't remember the Trolls) you are always a Joust Champion, Defender of Damsels, Patron of the...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Fish Tales is a good example that you can't trust in any rollover rules. This table is unable to rollover a simple 10B. It's not the ROM, it's the TPA software frontend. Happened to me last month again. Described in this thread...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    I think yes, but I wouldn't trust in this. After playing a few hours the Timeshock Ultra Edition I must say this table is the absolute reference for real pinball skills. After nearly 20 years. :) This table is hard and my scores are poor at the moment compared to earlier high scores. I had to...

    Maybe the time expand a little bit. There are some unknown problems for me during later gameplay. What happens when the jackpot reach more than 10B? My super jackpot doesn't display the first digit in the status report, I've never aimed for him and finished my game when the simple jackpot was a...

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    I wondered myself. CftBL does count trillions while STTnG for example doesn't. I've played the safe way and avoided any rollover with a jackpot or super jackpot. Definitely this #1 games become very stupid, only a matter of time, not a matter of skill. I estimate the playing time for 2T at four...

    I've had some posts with nuclearkevin and trust in this. Glunt seems a Bot fan only. (Why not JackBot? :o) He's often playing Pinbot again, seen in the weekly scores...

    nuclearkevin,287104538320,psn,"Twilight Zone",2015-8-24 is legit. I believe the Glunt scores from the relaxation list too. What's up with invitro? Holidays? :)

    Tactics and Strategies

    Well, the goal in pinball is it to reach points with the best possible ball control. Fireball with this strategy is for sure an extreme case and very boring. On the other side I would say playing this table in any other way is pure gambling. The short flippers, the spinning disc and the hungry...

    Pro Pinball

    As far as I can remember the original game price in 1998 was more than double and I found it cheap for such a table. These days are hard for game developers, great decay of values in the modern software business. Keep in mind the price for one physical pinball with a few thousand dollars...

    Pro Pinball

    I agree. My personal feature list: the low/medium view angle scrollable leaderboard leaderboard reachable from a game keyboard/controller setup confirmation after pressing the restart button explore the table mode like in the original version

    Tactics and Strategies

    Yes, but I can't remember the exact scores per ball. The strategy is simple. Enable the skill shot, lock a ball in the right saucer, enable the kickback and the right lane to 3k. And for sure the flipper zipper. Now catch every ball without a flip in the middle and flip soft with the left. This...
