Took this shot the other day... Ironically enough, almost 40 minutes for one game last night, i beat the current score listed below, coming in at something just over 22 million... i need a life.

"Seriously, though, it's all about the flags... Forget about missions or extra balls or anything else; there's two ramps on the left and one ramp on the right... Focus on the ramp to the right... Get the ball up that ramp as many times as you can... 100, 200, 1,500, it doesn't matter... Everything else will just fall into place... Get up that ramp as many times as possible..."

I thought it was the missions! OK, I'll try the ramp on the right.

Hey, anytime you're in the DC area, let me know and you've got the ride!

LOL, Will...! For a ride in either the 575 or the 360, i'll get a computer programmer to hack into my computer and somehow change my name on the high score to yours...! :-)

Seriously, though, it's all about the flags... Forget about missions or extra balls or anything else; there's two ramps on the left and one ramp on the right... Focus on the ramp to the right... Get the ball up that ramp as many times as you can... 100, 200, 1,500, it doesn't matter... Everything else will just fall into place... Get up that ramp as many times as possible... If you're EXTREMELY familiar with the game (translation: if you have no life) then you know how the ball can get "stuck" at a flag for a brief second and rack up a few million in points... That's always a second alternative but ridiculously hard to do on purpose... Ok, i've said too much, already... Back to the clinic, i go.

Before this post, thought I'd be embarassed to admit that at 44 I'm playing this game. Now, I'm embarassed to admit that at 44 I'm playing this game sooooo badly. 26 million? 14 million? Gotta recommit myself, get in better shape, work with a nutritionist, do whatever it takes, cause I'm at about 7 million. DES, do you offer private coaching?

DES,

Your talent knows no bounds. Not only are you the foremost authority on Ferraris you are now the F Chat king of Space Cadet Pinball.

Seriously like Nebula I hit 12 million then could never get above 7 or 8 again. I get close and then blow it and get pissed off and refuse to play the game for a while.

HOLY CRAP... i missed a lot of this... i guess i started to post and had to stop and came back and in that whole time, a lot of people responded... i didn't know this many other people played it...

Ronald, the missions are a great way to build points, but i find that the flags are the key to my high scores... i've gotten upwards of 5 million points at one time, just from hitting the flags just right... They make a big difference...

Gus, my highest score is something over 26 million... i played a game two nights ago that lasted me a half hour and i could only get in 3rd place, still unable to beat my 2nd or 1st place scores...

My highest score on this computer (at work) is 19,104,000, but at home it's just over 26 million... It's killing me 'cause i can't seem to beat my high score...

You guys are all amateurs! Just played it a few minutes ago for the first time in months and got 2.8 million. My record is 12 million somehting.

There used to be some forum on the net for this game and some guy took a picture of his screen which showed 57 million.

DES.....thanks for reminding me of this game.....productivity here at work just dropped 50% and I am blaming you for it!

My top is 14,260,250. My others range from 4-6 mill or so. I think i've had it above 25mill, but have reset that score along time ago.

I think I hit 4 or 5 million once. I've neve gotten anywhere close to that number again, and my usual score is around 800,000.
