    My best so far. Liking the challenge this difficulty setting adds with those extra holes

    83,948 points. I am starting to get the hang of this one. I should play on real hardware. I always seem to do better with it, no matter what the game.

    I made a video, but the resolution is way too low.  Furthermore, @Papa Pete's video above shows you all you need to know.

    I made my Demon Attack video a little late for the contest, so I didn't post it here, but I've compared emulation to OG Hardware again for this Video Pinball challenge.....and let's just say, there is NO comparison between the two...

    After some effort, I managed to break into 6 digits! It's probably been at least 15 years since I used this cartridge. I wasn't the biggest fan, but it's grown on me a little, now. I like how nudging works, and the physics on the flippers isn't bad. The spinners still really annoy me, though.

    It is very tricky!  Be patient, though.  You have to nudge it into existence.  When you get the ball bouncing straight up and down on the stairs lower left, that's the time to strike.  Wait for a nice high bounce, then push it over!  Nudge it away from the spinner on the way up.

    Thanks @RickR!! I think I understand the strategy, but it's tricky to implement!

    Great score @Marco1019! In the future you'll want to make sure you're uploading actual photos of your score instead of screenshots 😉

    You guys are posting scores that are out of this world! 🚀 I'm trying to up my game and have been reading through all your pro-tips, and gave No Swear Gamer's review another watch to pick up some of his strategy. I'm practicing and putting these tips to good use, but I've only been able to increase my score by a few thousand points. I have a feeling this super basic Atari VCS game could end up giving us our widest spread of high scores at the end of this challenge. I can barely break 25,000 on an average game, some of you are rolling past one million points! What a rush.
    My High Score: 53,147

    I'm gonna be honest...I very much dislike the "nominate" things.  But since you included one of my all-time favorite games "One on One" (in the EA record-style box no less), I will comply. 
    Here you go.  The "C" game actually came from @socrates63 as an extra in a trade.  It's the tape version!  So cool.  Thank you for that.
    And I nominate whoever wants to go next.

    Ha, I think that's the first time I've heard your voice, Harry 🙂 You sound just as I had imagined.
    The games I picked run the gamut of systems and are all favorites of mine. They represent the letters Y-O-U-N-G.

     
    Passing the baton to @RickR -- spell out your full first name, Rick, so we have more than four games, or... spell out your last name 🙂 It deserves its time in the spotlight since it's always only shown as a single letter.

    I posted this on the AtariCreep’s discord after I saw his video, but I will also post it here. I did my name with all 2600 games I owned the first time around when I owned the 2600 brand new in the early 80’s. I did both my real name and my name on here.

    This was fun looking at and everyone of the games was a favorite growing up. I am so glad I did not have to choose games that were not really my favorites. It was a good representation of the type of games I love to this day.

    So @Atari Creep challenged me to do the name game. This is where you take your name (Like your first name, YouTube name or forum name) and for each letter, come up with a game title. It can be your favorite games, least favorite or games you happen to own. 
    So if your name was Bob, you could do this:
    B - Bomb Squad (Intellivision)
    O - Out of This World (3DO)
    B - Basketball (Atari 2600)
    Here's my video where I spell out my YouTube name using video games:
     
    Now I challenge you to do the same! You can simply type it out, or even make a video.
