Just had a doozy of a glitchfest cascading off this. It was the same root cause, but here's some of the fun you can have with it. :cool: I was nearing the end of an awesome game - over 50 billion, but on ball 2 and out of extra balls. Had reached LITZ about 15 times. Then on one particular...

Are you attacking the ball immediately from the kickout? Don't do that in TPA. (On any kickout on any table.) Just hold the right flipper, or dead pass and hold the left flipper, either way you can automatically catch the ball on either side for full control. Obviously real TZs aren't always...

So I was playing Juggler multiball stacked with Ringmaster Special, which accounted for the last two marvels. That went on for a while. As the second ball drained, the last ball rolled up one of the Juggler loop shots at the same time. Juggler jackpot, but also Join the Cirqus started on the...

It's not unbalanced for average players on a real table who get Borg Multiball once or twice in a game. It is unbalanced for pros on the real table or average players on TPA, where the scoring becomes about Borg MB's eternally escalating jackpot and nothing else. On TPA, Borg MB is really easy...

I just put up the #2 leaderboard score at 8.2 billion. Took something like 6-8 hours (I'm fairly unsure as it was played over several sessions including one overnight break.) Like many tables, the upper reaches of scoring are about getting extra balls faster than you use them in order to play...

Yeah, any kind of save game can be copied and restored, no matter what the game program might do to stop it. At the most extreme level, imagine playing on a virtual machine. You could just snapshot and restore the entire VM and the game program would never know.

I suspect the program really is randomly determining this shot, as in it deliberately decides a certain small percentage of the time to redirect the ball to the hole-in-one. When it goes in, it usually follows the exact same path, just skimming over the front of the red barrier and plopping...

Found an interesting way to abuse this table. It's borderline cheating, but this game is already so easy to go forever on all those extra balls that it doesn't really matter. (I found the left loop method for EBs very easy.) You can nudge the ball from the Heartbeat ramp into the plunger...

Happened to me on PC/Windows that the crossover bonus didn't register the first few times. Eventually I got it via the Drac method. No reinstalling or anything. I suspect that the program detects the goal by the physical movement of the balls (not by the ROM awarding the bonus), and requires...

Since we don't have this thread, I guess I'll start it, since I'm apparently one of the crazy few who likes Black Knight enough to seriously play it for score. I reached 50 million, good for #15 on the leaderboard. Extra Balls: This is the primary goal. Completing all four drop target banks...

All it takes is earning extra balls faster than you lose them, and you can play forever. There's one EB on every door, possibly a second via the super skill shot, plus the camera will light the outlanes once every four doors. If you can hit 10-15 door panels per ball via left ramp - right ramp...

It's possible during multiball, I got it during Coffin. I had two balls feeding the right flipper simultaneously, from the ramp and spin hole, close enough to be touching each other. I flipped as both balls reached the flipper, and somehow the second one floated up the left lane just slowly...

Yeah, this table is strangely compelling. I just randomly tried it figuring to kill a bit of time while relaxing for bed... and suddenly it's three hours later at 4 AM. Those drop targets are a siren song. No matter how many times you drain, you always feel with full confidence you're going...

I found a world of improvement on Big Shot with this tactic: With a caught ball, always aim high on the target bank. With a moving ball, aim low. I'm not sure why, but the rebounds come out quite a bit safer that way. Aiming low from a caught ball is a disaster waiting to happen, there's a...

This nails my feelings on Stern, at least after TSPP and LOTR. The Williams tables have a certain... joyous revelry is the best way I can describe it. I think it's largely in the speech quotes. When Attack From Mars yells out "Total Annihilation... WOOHOO!" or "Super Jackpot, OH BABY!", you...

Happened to me too last night. Steam/Windows version. Could nudge but not tilt, ball search didn't work, call attendant didn't work, same as the other reports. One of the balls disappeared somehow during the multiball - I clearly noticed only three in play and none at the plunger for quite...

I put up a new #1 leaderboard score last night, 856 billion. 15 RTUs. 473 Martians. Steam/Windows version. Took about three hours. A trillion is certainly possible. I got quite lucky later in the game with Video Mode awarding EBs twice late and even shockingly Stroke of Luck once. Tip...

Since nobody answered this one: There's two separate grace durations. When down to one ball, you get about 10 seconds to complete any remaining regular jackpots. If you finish all jackpots (either during the multiball or during the grace period), the Super Jackpot round begins with its own...

Hi, that is me. :) The 80 billion Timeshock marathon was about 6 hours. The game went to End of Time only twice. Mostly it was just playing Time Machine Frenzy over and over, which is much better risk/reward than the explorations. The other key point was to keep Super Magnosave active all...

This happened to me too on the Steam/Windows version. I even got three balls in the plunger lane not just two. The trick to recover was to put all the balls in play and drain them all together (make sure they all drain during the bonus count, before the next ball is served to the plunger.)...
