[QUOTE="JefferyD, post: 138846, member: 2597"] This might just be me, but since I’ve concentrated on [B][I]not[/I][/B] hitting the orb targets, I’ve done better. I find that aiming at the high stuff works pretty well. Mostly, I aim for the top left entry to the rollovers and light those guys as many times as I can. I aim for that target behind the green light to the right of the drop targets (I don’t know what that does; I hope you get points for it!) I aim for the right lane opposite the queen’s chamber whenever there’s a light on in there. When the ball is dropping from the high spots it seems most often to fall down onto the flippers. I let it bounce across, capture it, and aim for the top again. As the game goes on I suffer from moments of bravery and I take a shot at the Queen’s chamber; hit or miss I try to get the ball under control again and carry on until I have another brave moment. Don’t be shamed by the mocking “Only single value” or whatever it is he says. That’s pure crapola! Pretend you’re Beaver Cleaver and he’s Larry Mondello trying to talk you into doing something stupid. I’m happy with single value, thanks. Of course you have to hit those drop targets to get orbs, so my plan is horribly flawed. But because of missed shots and uneven play, I usually have an orb or two accidentally collected by the time I crack the Queen’s chamber. When the orbs are raining down, then I aim for the drop targets until I’m down to one ball and I return to my conservative routine punctuated by the occasional courageous flick of the flipper. My highest score is 9,500,000-ish. I manage about 3 to 5 mil when I have a good game, which isn’t spectacular but it’s a two or three multi-ball session, and a comfortably happy 10, 15, 20 minutes for me. [/QUOTE]
