[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 163783, member: 4106"] The first thing to do on every ball is to try and get an Extra Ball. This can be done in one of three ways: 1. Complete the white drop-down targets at the top-left (sometimes referred to as the "mini-playfield"). This lights the EB at the white spot target on the right-hand side of the table. 2. Complete the red drop-down targets at the top-left. This lights the Special at the red spot target on the right-hand side of the table. Special awards an EB. 3. Complete the A-B-C-D rollovers either at the top of the table, or on the left-hand side. This lights the EB at the spot target in the mini-playfield. EBs don't stack (at least, they're not supposed to), so once you have one EB don't bother with any more for that ball. You can still set up one EB per ball you play, so it is possible to "go infinite". Next, concentrate on getting 5x Bonus. The 4-bank of drop targets in the middle of the main playfield - to the right of the spinner - advances Bonus X. Whenever the lamp below the targets is lit, hitting any of the targets advances Bonus X. Various bumpers and other targets toggle the Bonus X lamp on/off. Once you've done both of those, just concentrate on building up your bonus - which maxes out at 29K. The saucer in the top-right corner, when lit, collects your bonus and resets it to zero (but not the multiplier). So build it up to a nice amount, collect it, rinse and repeat. -- That's the theory. The practice... well my best score is only just over 1M, so I still have a ways to go on that front. [/QUOTE]
