the one that comes bundled with windows. Is there an expert on this game here or can anyone direct me to a site with a detailed game guide for it?

I haven't played it in a while, but I remember it. What questions do you have?

Please that game is more addictive then wow. I use to work in a camp and we would have tournies all the time. ;)

Evil rotten sick @#$%#!$% Mack... I'd forgotten the addictive nature, so I had to see if it still was...

It is... :(

One tip for you:

When you launch a ball, if you *don't* shoot it all the way up, it goes up part way, lights the bars it reaches, and then comes out. If you can light up just the first three bars, you get a 75000 bonus. Second or fourth, 30,000. First or fifth, 15k. And I think the sixth is 7,500.

They call it a skill shot bonus. Nice way to start out. I try to hold the plunger for as long as it takes to light up three lights, and then let it go. That's usually enough...

One more tip for you:

If you do what you said and drain the ball quickly (15 secs?) while the redeploy light is on, you get to replay your ball so you can hit it all the way up to work with the reentry lanes (you can't get skill shots on replays). This way you get the 75000 points and you get the reentry lights on.

OK I will post my questions soon, bung. Got lots of them. Thanks in advance.

Ok here goes:

1. There are 5 lights in the hyperspace chute, that are lighted on each time the ball goes into the hyperspace kickout. What does each light do?

2. The three yellow booster targets (on the right) activate booster lights and "play mode" (that's what the help says). There are 4 lights and so 4 play modes. What does each one do?

3. What is the jackpot? What are bonus points and how do you get them?

4. What happens when you run out of fuel? I checked it (kept the ball trapped behind the flipper) fuel got over and I didn't lose or anything. I think one time my current mission got restarted but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Got a few more still if you can figure those out...

I used to be able to beat anyone at that game.... When I was about 9. Then i stopped playing *sigh*

So how about we separate the boys from the men on this thread here and give our high scores.

Although I have a strange suspicion that my amazing 8,650,000 will be shattered by many of you.
