Hi all,

Finally had some time to have a go at JP's STTNG, and just passed Sabbat's Moon score (sorry about that Sabbat smile.gif )! I had me a cool 8.219.134.420. It was a sloppy game in which I spilt some extra balls, so there's definitely some room to improve. Did my major damage with about 3 or 4 Borg Multiballs. Did not get the Final Frontier yet, about 2 missions to go I believe. Great game! Because of Ripley's inofficial 11B this does not feel as good as a real Grand Champ score but I take a place in that crowded leaderboard any day of the week.... dblthumb.gif

Well, having fun with INDY500, great fastpaced table by JP. With my 2,5B Grand Champ score I haven't gotten near the 5B that's in the scoring list or the ridiculous 11B score by Ripleyyy. But I am fast when it comes to changing tires: Pit Stop Champ at a crisp 6.3 seconds! Anybody better?

Hi Slam, I'm faster



the trick is finally simple, but hard to succeed :

when the ball is ejected from the plunger to the inner lane, just lift the right flipper to make the ball jump, nudge left 2 quick time to make ball goes to the left flipper, and directly do the right shot smile.gif


Hey man, don't spill the trade secrets!! wink.gif blum.gif

I have looked for a rulesheet myself before but pinball.org/rulesheets did not have it. I did find this: http://www.pinballne...vis/index5.html Haven't taken the time to really read through it all but it looked like it could have your answer. Cool scoring Ripleyyy, you're one bad dude!!

I'm on a roll today! Bettered my Casino Run Champ score on Jack*Bot and now have: 1.419.000.000 (sorry Sabbat, I now have beaten you twice today, nothing personal smile.gif )
Catching that 12B score from Bolt proves elusive, this machine is a drain monster like I haven't seen before!

I moved my El Dorado City of Gold High Score to here: 1,xxx,xxx million+
It seems that I can only upload one picture at a time cause of the size, so until I resize my pictures, I'll just post one high score per post. SORRY if that is inconvenient. What a drain monster down the middle and real slow playing. Essential to knock down the 5 bank drop targets for 2x and 3x bonus. Patchs vp8 version is so much more fun to play and realistic. Forgot all about the old ball through flipper crap. Don't really miss the older tables in vp after playing all the newer ones, but these old classics were my favorite real tables!!!

Here is JP's El Dorado vp9 High Score of about 2,xxx,xxx million or so, Stunning table, great spaghetti western music by Maracone, but I prefer the original scoring like Patch's version, where specials occured on the top bank after only one time dropped. oh well!!! Again need to maximise score by concentrating on the five bank shots!! Good Luck!!

Weird now it seems that it will handle more than one upload of 512k per post. Hmmmmm!!!!! tapping.gif
Here is Kings of Steel vp8, couldnt find a vp9 version, so I am assuming this is the one. Just over 4,xxx,xxx million.
Not quite as good as my tournament score at PU of 27 million which I believe was 2nd or 3rd place.


Lastly here is JP Big Game vp9. I got around 2,xxx,xxx million. This game got to be super addicting with keno/bingo cards filling up, and the upper left loop into the bonus. I waited to light up the spinner and the bonus to over 50k before aiming for it, had six or seven games just below RipleYYY's score of 1,8xx,xxx including two 1.7milliond and 2 1.8millions. Just trying to share some strategy.

I am playing both T3 and Sorcerer, I really like Noah and UR's flipper settings, even though they are super bouncy. Its a challenge. I got a 110million game on their T3 and on the original vp8 version I am around 500 million so there's is much harder to control the ball whtflag.gif , but I love the combo loops I did manage eight 5 million Jackpots on one occasion that was fun, L R L R L R L R ramps... after that probably back to STTNG and INDY....So many games so little time.

I probably end up in the nut house first......man!! I'm so frustrated with this table, you can play your ass off and still see 2 balls drain in about 2 seconds.....and the 12B is so tantalisingly close....gotta try one more time...just one more before I call it quits for today.....here we go!....DRAINNNN

Thanks ced, but I KNOW the rules.

Check out McD 1st page post and MY 3rd page post #53. I have been following this thread for 1-1/2 years, and I am constantly reminding people to include the author/ table version(which would include vp9 in the title) even the leaderboard doesn't include every version that author has made. Also not to change anything (table slope, tilt settings/nudge, flipper degree increments or strengths, slingshot elasticity) in other words AS IS!!! CHANGE NOTHING!!

I am well aware of the 3ball rule and asking me is somewhat insulting!

Are ANY of YOUR scores, ced, 3ball??? tongue3.gif

OKAY, now, how does that make you feel? indignant? pissed? ....... TOUCHE!!!

Hi Slam, I'm faster



Sry dude...



Btw I have the bug what other mentioned before..Sometimes when multiball going(?) the "ball launcher circle" (?) registering 1 less ball, so when i had 2 ball in it it said "that's one"...

The ball finder not found the "missing" ball so i had to restart the table.
I report this to jpsalas maybe he can do something.
It's rare btw, in 5-10 long game there is 1 error. But its exist :/

I suspected it that you play with 3 balls,I wanted to add It in my question but I'm a little bit lazy because I do not well speak english and I use a translator to write.

Continue to make of attractive score and forget my question,thank you.

Broke my own high score in Firepower with the 7 digit rom, getting almost 3 milliion! Screwed up on the last extra ball though sadly, or I know I would've blasted through 3 mil with a little more effort.
