Smell Dawg Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 (edited) 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 😆 Edited February 8 by Smell Dawg More blathering.

Smell Dawg Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 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).

greenween Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I finally started focusing on the multiplier and earning extra balls instead of just trying to keep it in play. Also learned to slow down when the block is between the flippers and let it do it's job. RickR and Atari 5200 Guy 2 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

I'm also throwing up the white flag because it's become too frustrating for me. I continue to lose balls in every way imaginable despite the tips posted in this thread. I don't need a game's mechanics to keep my scores low; I can stink all by myself lol. Atari 5200 Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco1019 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Congratulations to @greenweenand to all of the participants! I'm familiar with Beef Drop, though I have not played it. I'll give it go at some point; I was never good at BurgerTime. I'm also well into Bagman Strikes Back for the EverythingC64 High Score Challenge.
