[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 212472, member: 5109"] I'm still working to understand pinball lingo -- I don't know what you mean by this -- any chance you could explain it in different terms? It sounds interesting. I'm really enjoying this game a lot. It's all about the bonus. My highest so far was just a few pennies over 1B. I think you would have to be very, very good to have 'infinite' extra balls (waves at Tarek). But for a player like me, the extra balls are finite. However, the ball controls pretty well -- especially if you avoid multiballs, and I can run for a while without losing one off some random ricochet off a miss-hit. And even though it's a finite number, there are a lot of extra balls. So the strategy, such as it is, is to be very cautious to keep the early balls going as long as possible, accumulating cities and souvenirs, and trying to get one spin off each tick up in the multiplier bonus. That means I totally ignore super blast and multiball and the modes (except I usually give in and make one careful shot at the bulldozer in Salt Lake City). The bonuses jump up after the first super payday because that's when I have enough souvenir/city combos to make the 6x multiplier really work for me. Anyway, I'm at 6B, and I think I can go higher still by getting more consistency on the skill shot, etc. [/QUOTE]
