[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 25803, member: 152"] Not entirely true. The Album and Tour multiballs show albums or tours on the DMD, respectively, each time you hit the multiball's jackpot, starting from AC/DC's earliest album/tour and proceeding chronologically. If you match the currently playing song with its album/tour, you score the song jackpot, which is usually worth several million and on a long song can be worth several tens of millions. Add 2X or 3X playfield and you've potentially got a 100M+ shot. This also makes the starting song choice more interesting. The two highest-scoring songs ("Rock and Roll Train" and "War Machine") are also on the last album and the last tour in the rotation, so you have to balance increased scoring now vs. having to make lots of regular MB jackpots before the song jackpot comes up. The problem is that unless you've seen someone who knows what they're doing play or watched the PAPA tutorial, the machine itself gives you no indication of any of this. [B]EDIT:[/B] Given my skill on the other tables relative to the leaders there, I would say even 8B or 10B scores on Monster Bash are quite possibly legitimate, especially if done by players who frequent the heights of the other leaderboards, such as Mark, Porygon and Parallax. If you don't exploit the bug and just play naturally, it seems to add between 5-10% to your score, depending on how much nudging you do for control and how many times you collect the keyboard bonus at the start of Monsters of Rock. Also: Lyman's Lament + 3X Bride + a good long Monster Bash multiball, followed by Lyman's Lament + a well-played MoR = ~1.5B in play and bonus on a single ball. I could see someone with better control than myself easily pushing that to 2.5B or 3B. [/QUOTE]
