From the forgotten world of VP8:

No stutter or other issues, and I could afford to hit whatever---except for the bumpers! (Forget the skillshot unless you love to gamble; at one point, before I wised up (not during this game, of course), they kicked the ball directly to the left outlane ten consecutive times.)

Nice score niliang!

However, be careful. I think you'll roll this table over if you reach your 100 million goal.

JP Salas' Attack from Mars.

17,913,376,130 on ball 3. (and didn't really do any good after that).

If I recall, I got 1 or 2 free games plus I got the match, or something.


... I'm not actually sure if this is that good of a score.

Well, in my opinion you could consider this guideline:

> 30% of the highest score published is a good score
> 60% is a very good score
> 90% is an excellent score:

So, considering jpsalas attack from Mars the highest score published is 185,565,571,330. Good score would be at least 55.6 billion.. Anyway this is only my personal opinion..

Best wishes

So what if one person is light years better at a game compared to everyone else? Take Jackbot, for instance - on JP's table you have one person who posted a score of 45 billion and everyone else on the list is around 5-15 billion. Does that mean that they all suck (or just barely qualify as "good") simply because one person had a freakishly high score? Personally, if I was doing your percentage scale I'd be inclined to toss out first place in that scenario and just compare my score against the rest of the leaderboard. But likewise, that's my personal opinion...

You are right, it depends of the high-score
