as i dont know rules for CV, what are these to do !? how it works ?

Allow me to explain wink.gif

On the apron, to the left is a little cannon and to the right is a bell. They are actually located in the backglass, in the real game.
Well, if you achieve something, like completing a "Marvel" or popping the "Boom Balloon", it fires a "cannonball" and the game keeps track of the total of cannonballs fired, which has its own High Scores entry.

and 124 Canonballs

That's a whole lot of cannonballs!

You can manually shoot cannonballs in a certain game mode (Cannonball Run, in the Side Show) by flipping both flippers, you can get 5, maybe 6 cannonballs out of that.

But what does YLB mean?

And I'll try to beat 124 cannonballs later today. (Homework first, that's a wise lesson I learned lately... tongue.gif )

3022 on Flash Mode in Strikes N Spares. It's surprisingly hard to be consistent in that one.

Also got 288,392,890 on the VP9 Star Wars table, but I know that doesn't beat any records around here. It was good for me, though. Could've gone on longer if my computer hadn't lagged as my third ball was going down the right inlane, making it roll right past the flipper... T_T

EDIT: Also, was wondering, is there any way to improve performance in VP9? I tried playing CV and Star Trek: The Next Generation on here, but the ramps look weird...almost pixelated and half-transparent, if that makes any sense, and the ball stutters to no end, making it almost unplayable. I'm using an Intel GMA 965/x3100 graphics chiset on a laptop, if that helps at all.

Yeah, I pretty much figured the graphics chipset was the problem. Luckily, it seems to play a lot smoother if I turn the ball shadows, decals, and anti-aliasing off. Got over a billion on Star Trek: Next Generation and about 20M in CV. Nowhere near any high scores, but at least I can play them now.

Another NBA Fastbreak score:



Now that I got the right version, my nudging allowed me to keep things going long enough go go into the Trophy Multiball and snag myself a ring along with my score. smile.gif

Hope I'm not bugging anyone with all these NBA Fastbreak scores...I just like this table. XD



274 points, no rings. Got to Trophy Multiball once but didn't win it.

EDIT: Another one, 290, still 1 ring (failed the second Trophy Multiball by 1 point, kept bouncing off the sides of that center ramp...or other balls in the multiball... angry.gif) I guess rings don't matter too much except for team scores, and I only have the Celtics and Bulls left (2 and 3 rings respectively), though I still record those along with my score. smile.gif



EDIT 2: A score of 341 and 2 rings. I took a picture of the "Current M.V.P." section just to prove it. :3 So now, if I just play as the Bulls and get 3 rings somehow, I'll have beaten all the team scores. But I think I'm going to head to bed now, I've been staying up too late playing this. lol
