this is a really cool post. but i think there's enough variation between individual real life tables to call most of this well within the margin of error in terms of accuracy.

well heck why don't they just work out exactly how improbable it is that they find a pristine Centaur, feed that into their Improbability Generator, give it a nice hot cup of tea, and turn it on?

to each their own, but if you can hit the hideout every time (on my iPad2 i am over 99% on hitting the hideout on plunge) then it is good for a million points every time you plunge the ball .. and you plunge the ball a LOT in this game! then, when the ball gets kicked out of the hideout, I...

what a great game, and what a great recreation. it is just as brutal as we asked for. you have to be SMART. hold the ball and wait out missions in a lot of situations! and you have to be ACCURATE. miss your shot and drain. this is a real pro's table imo. (which is why i suck at it)

yep, it 's intended to keep things interesting in real life multiplayer play. sorta like Family Feud, but with less Richard Dawson kisses.

it's a wash in my experience. the ramp and superdog bounce into the mirror are both very easy shots, and that loop advances the clock much faster (which reduces risk, offsetting whatever difference in risk there is between the shots themselves). i'd say it comes down to personal preference...

wow, those vita screenshots are pretty damning. i didn't know it was that bad. on iOS, the tables all look pretty good. there are stuttering issues related to performance on ipad2 and mini with ios 6.x, but it's not totally horrendous. the thing that both baffles and bothers me is the camera...

yeah it seems to be going for that same little end-of-the-80s zeitgeist that bill and ted completely nailed so well. it misses by quite a bit, but i consider it a wonderful little window into what squares thought hipsters were like for a couple of summers. i can see cringing and hating it, but...

BLACK HOLE IN THE HOUSE! :D and yeah -- it is QUITE a bit tougher in real life. i can go indefinitely on the TPA version .. i think i got about 8 million or so during the tournament. but on my home version, topping 500,000 is a real challenge, and i've only hit multiball twice in about 6...

oh god i hope so.

i'll let you know -- i'm picking up a realllly nice one this Friday! :D :D :D by the way, since this thread was last visited, the iOS version of BH had a major re-write of the rules. the biggest differences: - you can no longer stack more than one extra ball - the gate in the lower playfield...

whoa that sounds exploitable! what's to stop someone from (tediously but without any risk at all) building up like, a 100 million jackpot over 100 intentionally bad games?

no, that's not right. however: - if you lose a ball after locking two but before starting multiball, and then when you lock your new ball, instead of putting a ball in the plunger, it will spit one out for you to lock, since the lock counter resets on a new ball, even though there are balls...

to be fair, drunk and/or tired is my default state.

yeah same here. i could pretty much go on forever. the only limiting factors are the game crashing if i pause and the ipad goes to sleep, and of course game ending bugs. TZ, Black Hole, and Funhouse are the three tables i can play essentially indefinitely on.

this is good advice. who cares about like 20 million points when high scores are double-digit billions? the artifact is the priority: it's worth 25 million PER SHOT during Final Frontier, plus a cool 250 million per Final Frontier trip. conservatively, on a good game, each artifact...

Gonna give each machine a numerical value 1 being easiest (can do it in my sleep), 10 being hardest (near impossible) to reach 1000 points. 1 Black Hole 3 Funhouse 3 Twilight Zone 5 Elvira and the Party Monsters 5 CFTBL 5 Theatre of Magic 5 Tales of the Arabian Knights 5 Taxi 6 RBION 6 Monster...

Just happened here :(

the lag comes in when you have a lot of post-processing turned on. for watching television or dvds or whatever, there is also a delay, but the television syncs up the sound so you never notice. during gaming, as you are discovering, it is noticeable BIG TIME. the solution is to turn off...

yep, as others have stated, don't worry about loading up your taxi with passengers. just hit the loops, light the millions, collect, repeat.
