[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 94295, member: 134"] I'd like to think the progression of a Lost pinball would be this... Play starts out normal, with a few scoring quirks that aren't quite explainable. Completing certain combos flashes the score back to much lower. You must not lose the ball during this 'flashback' or you'll be stuck with the much lower score. To really sell the flashback sense, scoring would be like that of an early 80's table. There's one flashback for 'X' amount of characters, and finishes off with getting rescued. Only problem is, this clears everything (including score) and now you play flash forwards multiball. Scoring is now ridiculously high, but the table is prone to sudden dead flippers, scoring banks that don't work, and yes magnets all over the place. Oh, and there's a hole you have to shoot into every 108 seconds or it's game over. Completing the jackpot goals of flashforward multiball results in the table returning to it's original playing state. The score keeps randomly alternating between the normal scoring and the crazed scoring and it's quick (no just letting the ball drain to collect the higher score). This would be flash sideways scoring, and the remaining goal of the table would need to be completed, Jacob vs Man in Black. Always 2 targets lit, player simply must choose correctly which ones to shoot. Man in Black gives more points, but causes more table anomalies to happen, Jacob scores less but keeps table stable. Win as MiB and all high scores stored on table, even if yours isn't the highest, are completely lost with only yours remaining. Win as Jacob and risk not having the highest score, but knowing you didn't take the easy way out. No matter how many extra balls you have saved up, the game ends. You then have the option of returning to the island, which just starts the game all over but with half your points (this being the only way a 'Jacob' score could eventually be tops), or calling it quits there and walking away angry and confused.
