[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 286322, member: 134"] I mean sitting down to play Ripley's, and 45 minutes later still on that same game start, just 9 extra balls later. There's a few people who documented scores that took over 8 hours to achieve. The pinball ROMs were simply not meant to handle this much data, and often the game would bug out due to the ROM failing, not TPA itself. Nobody at Williams ever thought for one moment that people would roll the score on certain DMD machines. Essentially the Donkey Kong kill screen was reached. In TPA I had no problem scoring a minimum of 2 billion on Creature, every single time I played. I'd then go play a real machine and not even get one multiball started to attempt the most basic of jackpot scores. I could complete 2 wizard cycles on Twilight Zone, but if I got 170 million on a machine in the wild, I'd be stoked. I find my scores with Zen match my real world prowess much more. [/QUOTE]
