Parallax Scroll said:I figure I should give something back to the GAF pinball community besides just shit talking and absurdly high scores. So here I present the first in a series of strategic maps that should help you take your game to the next level. Without further ado, here is volume 1: Jive Time!
The funny thing is, everything on there is legit Jive Time tips. If you make those purple shots, the ball is going straight down the outlane.Gillian Seed said::lol That is GOLD!
those Medieval Madness scores are pissing me off loljvm said:Great work, BobTheFork. You make me wish I were back home and could work on catching up to AstroLad's Medieval Madness score...
Try shooting the castle over and over again. If you can destroy 3, maybe 4 castles you'll pass 15 mil. Trap the ball on the left (or right, but left is easier) flipper before each shot.BobTheFork said:those Medieval Madness scores are pissing me off lol
I can barely get 15 mill. I feel like there is another half of the table I don't know about. There doesn't seem to be anything that could give me that many point. I did unlock freeplay on all table last night but I still can't unlock Jive Time for play.
well that's how I got my highscore but I could only kill the catsle maybe 3 times before I died. I'm good at tilting to keep the ball from going down the center lane but missing on those sides of the castle will kill you.Parallax Scroll said:Try shooting the castle over and over again.

If you're missing by hitting the yellow drop targets, eventually you'll want to do that, since that's how you light Trolls. :lolBobTheFork said:well that's how I got my highscore but I could only kill the catsle maybe 3 times before I died.

Parallax Scroll said:PINBOT BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!
I managed to get ahold of XBL user ItsHimAgain, who has consistently high scores on pretty much every table. On XBL, he's got:
Gorgar #5
Pinbot #1
Black Knight #3
Funhouse #2
Space Shuttle #1
Taxi #3
Whirlwind #21
Firepower #1
Sorcerer #1
Jive Time #1
This guy is good. Anyway, his XBL #1 Pinbot score, 28,065,340, is the same score Brashnir claimed to have for Pinbot. I asked ItsHimAgain if he's heard of neogaf or Brashnir, and he said "no" to both.
So at this point, I'm fairly certain that Brashnir hasn't actually scored 28 million on Pinbot. I doubt he was intentionaly deceitful, but rather I'm assuming he just pasted in the wrong score by mistake. I haven't seen him post on GAF in a while though, so I haven't been able to get his side of the story.
THIS HAS BEEN A PINBOT NEWS UPDATE!
AstroLad said:yup it's glitched google it for tips on how to get it
Like with the Jive Time pic, though I was having fun with the post, its content is serious. I don't think Brashnir's posted Pinbot score is valid.Gillian Seed said:This post was GOLD! :lol
LOL, this time I'm just trying to invalidate an existing score. That's arguably scarier. :lolBobTheFork said:I get scared every time you bump this thread. I almost get depressed when I see your scores.

Parallax Scroll said:This thread sure got quiet. Did I scare everyone away?
I haven't played this much myself lately. I did just play a few games of Gorgar. I'd say I'm even better at it than I was before, in terms of ball control, difficult traps, recovering from tricky situations, and accurately hitting the drop targets. But despite that, the best score I got tonight was 2.4 million. Beating my 8.5 is going to be a gargantuan effort.
Anyway, even though I don't have any new scores to post, I'm reposting the lists so I can rightfully claim my Pinbot #1.

Back up to 11 out of 13, bitches!
Will do. And props on the Gofers score.Plinko said:Just checked my high scores and I'd be in 3rd place on No Good Gofers. I'll try to compile the list after work.
My XBL tag is Liegedog. Feel free to add me.
Hell yes it is. Not that I've played the PSP version, but I'd say it's a safe assumption.jvm said:Hey, PSP owners -- especially PSP Go owners. The Williams Collection is finally coming to the PS Store.

Not as many tables as the PS3/Xbox360 version, but still worth $10.

Enjoy it while it lasts.Plinko said:Just scored 152,615,830 on No Good Gofers It was absolute madness for a while.
My highest leaderboard ranking yet. I absolutely love this game--especially how you can come back to it after a couple months and still enjoy every second of it.
I'd really love some DLC--I always wanted to own the table "Police Force" and think it would fit well here. "Bad Cats," "Swords of Fury," and "Black Knight 2000" would be nice as well.
I'm shocked "High Speed" and "High Speed 2: The Getaway" weren't on this compilation. Those are classics.
Parallax Scroll said:Sorcerer - Is the ball lighter on this table? It picks up speed very quickly. This is a really challenging table for a number of reasons. If you fuck around with the upper playfield you risk sending the ball rocketing towards the drain. Trapping is tough and passing seems to be non-existent. But due to the ball's apparent light weight, nudging is extremely powerful on this table. Multiball is starting to get somewhat manageable and I think will be key to some big scores. Yesterday I had a 4 million point game, then 5M, then 6M, then 7M. It's still a far cry from Gillian's 19M, but I'm gunning for it.
AstroLad said:You will enjoy it because of all the cool tables (you didn't even mention the best ones) and also the achievements and challenges in game do a good job of guiding you towards really learning the tables. The game has a ton of depth.
Shearie said:Haven't seen anyone mention this on GAF yet but there's a new Williams pinball game called "Williams Pinball Classics" coming out for the PS3, 360, Wii, and PSP in October.
