On Ripley's, you have to always tilt away the bonus to avoid that fake-game-over bug. Every ball. No exceptions. This works reliably on PC and it is the only method that does.
Well done. All I can say is, Ugh. I know how it goes.
A couple of months ago I tried a couple of score runs. On the last one I know I beat my best but I don't remember by how much. I'm thinking I was at about 49-69 billion because I remember beating my score at the 39b point rollover and I remember a couple of more rollovers. (This game was played over a few different sessions and i was probably drinking too. My PS3 hates me now. It doesn't play discs anymore.) I was on my way to a 100b game. I had 5 extra balls on ball one. (I got 6.5b on my true first ball alone. New record for me.) My tour bonus is at 2billion, when 2X'd, and bonuses are maxed as can be. And then...
I get an Atlantis. I work to get my first Atlantis super jackpot. I get it. Cool. I work for my second. Cool cool. And now for a third one. I shoot the ball up the center to the temple to light the super jackpot. Boom! The flippers go dead and I watch my spheres disappear down the drain. The DMD thinks nothing has happened. The attendant does nothing. I can't even tilt out.
All I can do is quit. My previous score attempt ended the same way. The only things I noticed was that on one try the playfield lights stayed on. On the other one they did not. But I did notice that when I made the killing shot up the center ramp, on both attempts, the temple led lights were totally out.
So, don't shoot up the center ramp when there are no LED lights at the temple lit up on an Atlantis super jackpot run.
