Anyone for a virtual pinball tournament?
 

Does anybody wanna have a Starksy & Hutch (I know, silly movie) pinball tournament?

It is by far the best free online pinball game on the internet. It plays pretty close to a real machine. It's very addictive. I'm a bit burned-out on it now, but I was playing it a few times every day for a good while since I discovered the page a few weeks ago.



Anyway, I got 73 million
good luck beating my score
(yeah, that's a challenge)






(the game doesn't actually record & keep track of high scores as you will se if you play it)

You can play against other people in real time?

I could be in, I'm feeling quite pissy and anti-social this evening.

naw, you just gotta play & then post your high scores from screenshots here. Essentially, I just wanted to brag about my high score.

Read the rules section to get a feel of how to play the "machine". You may need to turn off your sticky keys. You'll see what I mean. I actually switched to a better keyboard I had around & now have no problems.

There's jackpots, extra balls, multi-ball, sound effects... all that..

I'll give it a try.

I have a laptop, and can barely type on it as it is.

I want to play a game with some BLOODSHED.

I lost the fuckin ball already.

Oh my god, I think I'm addicted.

I only scored 1,300,000 though.

I straight-up suck at this pinball game.

I have to confess, I have played Yahoo pool with people for four hours straight.

I used to play Yahoo scrabble online for hours.

Ooh, do you mean Literati? I fucking LOVE that game!

Yes, and I challenge you or anyone else to a game of Literati.

Anytime, bitch.

my name is noumenal3 - I'm in the Mysterious Malapropisms room. Table 72.

I love some Scrabble.

The physics on this pinball game are great. This UK games site http://www.free-game.co.uk/activity....e=cat&cat_id=9 also has the game for when this promotional warner brothers page goes down. In my experience, if you can start getting 10 million or better, then you're starting to get the hang of it. I was able to get that freak score only because I got Bonus x5 & Hold Bonus from the Urban Informant on the same ball, so everytime I lost a ball, I was getting over 10 million in bonus points.

That game was eerily realistic. I still sucked though.

Noumenal, I'm there, for a few minutes at least - then I'm actually venturing outside for a bit. If I decide I can handle it.

Bear with me, I haven't gone on Yahoo in ages - I forget how to find my way around 'n stuff.

Tell me your screenname and I can invite you.

I've never played Literati.

"eerily realistic"
-yeah I've seen the ball jump over the flipper when it was moving too fast many times & one time a ball got "stuck" on the ramp much like what happens once in a blue moon on a real machine.
You've got to play it a few times to get a sense of how to make the shots you need to make & when to bump the machine. Like when you're losing the ball on a side chute & the kickbacks are not lit. You can bump the machine as much as you want & it never tilts.

It's good times Atari.

Dear god atari

YOU of all people would fucking ADORE it, you should come play

I am mysisterisafloozy

Those rooms are full, noumenal

hold on

did you get my invite?

I have a new public table at Social-->Mysterious Malapropisms--> Table 72

No, I didn't get the invite...I know I'm a techie retard, but where does this invite come from? Where do I find it?

You didn't get the invite because you're not logged in the same game room as me. Try this:

Click on "Beginner" under "List of Game Rooms" and then on "Interlocution". I'll be in there. If I see you in there, I'll make a game.

Edit: Allright. Nevermind. Some other time.

Sorry...I have to go out now anyhow. Thanks for trying.

I beat my old score by 100 million or so.

damn!

I think nearly seven million is better than I did the first time (if that was your first time playing) that I played.
In that last high score I only scored about 50 million of the points & all the rest were bonuses that I earned by playing the machine for score maximization. I can explain how this is done if anyone wants an elaboration; the "Rules" section also gives one a good idea how to optimally proceed to play the game. Two of the five balls were complete duds & gone in a flash. I had a bunch (over 20 I would guess) Jackpots, but I only had Crime Spree once that game. I earned only two extra balls the whole game, both of which I acquired on ball one; I scored a little over 20 million on ball one, but with all the end bonuses it totaled out at about 42 million. I did get multi-ball twice, which was cool. That was the first time I've done that. During the vast majority of the times that I've played, I haven't been awarded even one multi-ball session. It's overrated anyway, because one usually loses one of the balls pretty quickly.

i got 40,000,000 but cant print the screen. Im using a mac labtop.

I got 7,841,048,666 but my computer crashed

1 got 0ne mill 400

edit: wtf? it said on the board that i got 3 mill but then when it goes to the high score it says that its only 1 mill?

Is it just me or does the ball go down the side bits where you can't use the flippers waaaay too often?

i hope that's photoshopped

c'mon...some competition will make me get back into that game.

dunno why that shrunk so much, it says 11,342,500
