I got 536,000,000 on a real Addams Family machine and became the Grand Champion. On PD's I can only get in the 300 mill range...then the next day the dork reset the scores and the top was 2,000,000,000 - MAB - must be someone who worked on the game or just put it in there permanently...AF isn't an easy pin to master! smile.gif

Still no Valinor - I lost the ball while destroying the ring or else I would have gotten it. Then came one fellowship member away from another shot.

Hi Blizz,
Good job! Valinor is one of the most difficult Wizard Modes in my book, I haven't reached it yet, also heartbreak with one mode, or part of a mode away! So I know your pain..... wink.gif You're also zooming in on my 831M score and Bolt's 900+M, although those were scored on the JPG-PINS VP8 2.1 version which probably is easier than JP's VP9. I'm anxiously awaiting Groni's version of LOTR, I really like JPSalas version too but I think Groni puts more time in getting flipper settings right and his slingshots behave more realistically. What's your best Ring Time BTW? Mine is still standing on 16.29 secs, also JPG-PINS VP8 2.1, I think that one will be tough to beat!

I know what you mean, it's funny because the ruleset seems deep but I also found it quite repetitive. Nice score though! I played it to take a little break from Groni's MM 1.3 because I haven't been able to get back to scoring big again, best game after my 489M was 179M. I always have a string of bad games after a really good one, I'm probably too eager to score big again. Best to try some other table for a while....what are you currently playing?

PS: Had a funny ball jam while playing a 4-ball Multiball Madness, see attached picture. I managed to shake them loose with some careful tilting....


Hey smile.gif I made something right wink.gif This happens on the real table too, and you need a sensitive hand to shake them free


I knew you wouldn't leave that to chance and scripted it right into the table! wink.gif It reminds me of the pileup of balls in the Troll Cave in LOTR, I hope to see that again with the new Megapin release....

Valinor... so fabled a Wizard Mode, no one even knows how it works... the same could be said for TSPP

Yeah - I guess I should say I had qualified all conditions insofar as I've read them!


My best ring time is 23.xx seconds, so not very good. Always have trouble with the left ramp. I got lucky once and had a shot to hit all four consecutively rather quickly, but messed up the right ramp...argh! It's tough hitting the ring from a rolling inlane too. I've seen I think 18.xx on a real-life machine here...pretty good.

Hi guys,

Everybody back from Christmas/New Year break to post some of those high scores? A lot of new machines/versions. I had a really good time playing Jamin's VP9 update of his Roadshow. It looks really good and plays fluently. My first game yielded a 3.552.063.680 score, not that bad I think. I saw an earlier score on the VP8 version of 13B, so my score ranks probably not too high. It is the first reported VP9 score though..... smile.gif Have to read up on the rule sheet because I didn't know what I was doing. It seems to be quite easy on giving out extra balls, I think I had about 7 or so just in this one game. Back to another payday,

Slam23

PS: factory settings, no adjusting the flippers or any physics settings, the table "as is"

Nice scoring Bolt! I'll have to check tonight how much I scored on TZ, because I'm on the laptop now. I'll have to play some T3, only checked out the table when it got released but was sucked in by other tables at that moment. Is it that good/fun?

Just recently broke my high score record on Pinbot. Finally got past 6.4 milliion, and by a lot too! If I had realized this thread was here, I wouldn't have made that other post in the other forum. >>;



Made the 10X 100,000 vortex shot, and *almost* made it to the Sun in this game, missing it by one planet!

Nice! VP8 Eala Sidhe version? I haven't seen a VP9 conversion yet, maybe somebody is working on it.

Actually Noah made a VP9 Mod of it, it should be under the mod section for VP9 4:3 tables.

I wish I didn't goof up screenshoting it, but I scored over 14 million in Pin*Bot today! I feel like a winner XP I at least got the screenshot of the high scores part where it shows 9,999,999 as my score:

  • Favorite Pinball: Johnny Mnemonic

Posted 05 February 2010 - 09:48 PM

Just started playing these games 2 weeks ago, found this site from an article in MaximumPC magazine.

Johnny Mnemonic is an amazing table, deep game play. Broke 68 billion today, after breaking 31 billion yesterday. Whew! I'm exhausted....

I have hooked my big sister and my step son in law on the table both. They love playing the table by themselves, and with me playing one of us on each flipper. That used to be my sister and brother in law's favorite way to have inexpensive fun at the bar, a couple pitchers of beer and an hour or two of rotating flipper/flipper pinball.

DEEP appreciation to all of you people helping to bring computer pinball to life.

What machine to download next!?!!!? (And I have to learn to take screenshot's to prove I'm not making this up)

EDIT: 2 Days later I got up to 233 BILLION. I don't think I can play this table again for a while. Too addicting!

How are older tables with rolled scores handled? I almost cried with a stupid drain preventing me from getting my fourth Super Dude in a single game, also stopping me short of rolling it twice.



So, yes, that's 195,151,190. Seems like I'm the only person playing Dr. Dude, though...
