Thanks a lot for the tip, I missed this somehow.
"Pinball is the absolute pinnacle of human achievement, the perfect union of art and science, the purpose of mankind's creation and the answer to its greatest mystery, the very meaning of life its self."

Hi All,

Thanks JP for a very interesting table, I like the concept with the cueball on the table, kind of a menagerie ball thing from CV. I'm curious if anyone is having some good scoring yet. I think this table is quite hard because it is fast and kind of drainy (is that a word? smile.gif )
Anyway after 5 games I had a good one: 642,668,840. Don't know where this ranks yet. Have to say I profited from a "double round" that was built up from previous games. I'll delve into the ruleset again after some more games.

Hi Slam23,

my score on these nice table was after 5 games 566.758.050, only. I spend all the time with JP's new Jack-bot table, the v1.02 is a fantastic table and makes a lot of fun.

8.518.781.950 points on Jack-bot

Hi Bolt,
I was already putting up a post on that Jackbot score! Great achievement, I'll switch over to that table and try to get your score! I'm currently migrating to a new computer. I hope everything works, it has Windows 7 and an ATI card. But it was a gift, and the saying here goes (literal translation from Dutch) "you don't look a gift horse into it's mouth". For now though my old comp is still working, so I can squeeze in some games yet......

You're one fast dude! And then to say that a table is boring AND beating my HS, mmmmmm, the gauntlet has been thrown my friend! smile.gif
BTW, I played some JackBot and at my third game I was up to 7B, so look in your rearview mirror from time to time..... wink.gif

He Slam23,

over 7B after some games is very much.

I also played a little melon's nice Addams Family. The version is much heavier than PacDudes. My score: 230.010.310

Well, as usual I play a killer game within the first 5 tries, then I read about the rules, and then I tank......this JackBot table is a drainmonster for me! Especially when the ball gets a lot of horizontal ricochets from the slingshots I lose the ball at both sides like 1 in 5 times! I clearly haven't got the timing of nudging down yet with this one, very frustrating....but the table is cool. Have you read the rulesheet Bolt? You probably know about the "extra ball button" cheats already...just a friendly reminder. Back to the table now,
Slam23

PS: gonna go over to the High Score thread soon, because I'm getting too off-topic here. Still bumping the Cueball Wizard table though, that has to count for something... smile.gif

I had the rulesheet does not read Slam23, read almost never biggrin.gif

Where is the extraball button?????

For me the table is an absolute slingshot nightmare, too. Only 1 of 5 games are really good.

best regards

I hate to keep bringing this up but I can't be the only one having this problem. I've tryed 907 908 and 909 and all of those versions I experience all the slings and bumpers just dying. They will no longer bump the ball at all.

I've been trying to diagnose it tonight and as far as I can tell it seems to be happening whenever I earn an extra ball. I know I'm not crazy and If I need to try and capture video I will

It has never happened to me. Tomorrow I go in holidays but I'll take a look at the table when I come back next week.

Have you tried deleting the nvram? I know it is a Gottlieb with the problem with no acceping coins, but destruk has posted some nvrams for Gottliebs and Ballys so they can accept coins, and they can also be set up manually.

deleting the nvram and setting it up myself did not help. all bumpers and slings still died as soon as I earned an extra ball on horseshoe round.

Its a great table and I just wish I could play it :\

YES!!!

vp9.10 seems to have fixed all the issues I had, I just played 10 games and did not have the bumpers/slings die midgame. I usually don't even last 1 game without them dying.

strange but i'm glad i can finally play this now, will let ya know if it happens at all with 910.
