THANK YOU for hosting this cool Evercade event @RickR 🙌

Well, it's pouring in California right now, so I decided to add to the misery & keep playing Midnight Magic*. New PB: 149,155
 
 
 
*I think I have reset this game about 250 times

132,480.
 

It's still raining in LA so I can't look up to see if the planets have aligned: 209,250
 

I feel so good about myself when I have the bumbers/center pin enabled and still manage to sink the ball anyways 😄
071775

New personal best:  193,675
I want to add a nitpick!  Every so often the ball comes down a return lane and manages to sort of "hover" over the flippers, regardless of the player activating said flippers, then plops right down the drain, ha!!

This score was particularly aggravating - after getting 187,000 on Ball 1, the table sank the next four balls in rapid succession.  This table hates the player and is not afraid to show it 😆

Alright, after obsessively playing this for far too long, managed to crawl all the way up to a 5x multiplier (but that lasted all of one entire second, ha).

412,185 on the 7800.

OK, just played a quick game.  Got a better score... 155,590

102,670.
