fergojisan Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ermahgerd, this game is impossible. Perhaps the e-reader sticking out of the bottom of my DS is causing a problem. At least the game stays in there, I forgot about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie! Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 how much did that set you back Willie? It was on the kickstarter, I got it a reduced price but dont recall what it was (Willie! is old, dont remember stuff very good) My Youtube Channel Arcade USA! - https://www.youtube.com/user/SVT512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the game stays in there, I forgot about that. I'm surprised it fits the DS GBA slot. It fits a bit funny in my SP, since it was made for the original model GBA. It also took me awhile to get the first card to scan right The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm only giving this game one playthrough. It is a fun game but a bit frustrating for me. A lot of cheap bounces and ricochets against your favor and it makes me want to throw the controller. Pinball is mainly luck and ball placement. And I can get neither. Don't get frustrated Retrogamer81081! Just play and have fun There is skill involved, it's not all random. But it's all for "nerd cred" as RickR coined and meant to be friendly fun competition. Luck will come your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie! Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Had an amazing game, with most points scored on my first ball (Isn't that how pinball usually is, scoring most of your points on a single ball?) After first ball: 239,320 IMG_0039.JPG Final Score: 329,850 IMG_0042.JPG Well, I was going to post another score until I read the forums and saw this, wow!

nosweargamer Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Oh please don't let me score keep anyone from playing! :unsure: Like real pinball, that was just a great single ball were everything came together. Seriously, most my games didn't came close to that, so my guess is most anyone can pull it off with a single ball that happens to do very well. Some Hints: Try to keep the ball in the upper playfield as much as possible When the ball is heading from the lower to upper playfield, lift the closest flipper for a better chance for it going through In the bonus stage, you will lose a ball if Pauline falls to the ground. Catch her if she falls! Don't go full power when launching the ball. With the right touch, it will bounce through the 1,000 point center lane several times In the lower playfield, I try to aim my hits to bank off the walls to the upper playfield. Aiming at other targets has a lot of risk. Some Point Goals 50k points = extra ball 100k points = invisible flippers 150k points = flippers reappear 200k points and above = warm fuzzy feeling of a job well done The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioPoultry Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 New score: 298,120 I didn't record the whole thing, but when I realized I was passing my previous score, I paused the emulator and started my recording software. The emulator I'm using is also able to record video, apparently, but I haven't tried it and I like to stick with what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lighting struck twice for me. Took about 40-45 minutes (This pinball game is not one to really award you lot of points at once. You really just have to patiently build your score.) 366,370 The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormSurge Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I consider that in difficulty levels in sports games that instead of easiest/beginner difficulty should be named Storm Surge. And expert should be replaced with Nosweargamer. I love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would play but I am having to pick up our place...which meant the NES had to back on shelf for a bit. Our apartment complex is fixing to go through a random inspection (by that it means units are picked at random for inspection)...and they are extremely picky. The slightest thing out of place can cause the building to lose its extra income to help keep rent costs down. So...as soon as the inspections are done I will drag the NES back out for some gaming fun. I haven't given up yet Awesome scores, everyone!!!

MightyMattD Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I spy, with my little eyes, a 5200 on the bottom shelf. Nice Yes indeed! I picked it up for a song because the case badge was completely wrecked, so I removed it. But it works just fine, and I love it! It's a shame the poor thing has such a bad rep. I do wish it was a bit smaller, but really it is almost comical how huge it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I managed to get in some game time and while I didn't break the top score posted here I did improve on my own score. Still haven't managed to save the princess but I did get all of the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
