5200 Collector Dude Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yesterday I finally got a high score of exactly 100 on the pinball game for the MB Microvision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You have a Microvision? I'm going to get one soon. What's it like? I'll have to get Pinball for it and challenge you some time. I think the only game that will come with mine is the block breaking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Finding a working Microvision can be a pain...Cool that someone fired one up and played it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animan Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) The Microvision has been a system I've always thought about getting one day... There is an online simulator (written in JavaScript!) here that has Pinball: http://home.comcast....oSimProject.htm Edited December 3, 2011 by Animan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an online simulator (written in JavaScript!) here that has Pinball: http://home.comcast....oSimProject.htm Hmm that's pretty cool. Hard to use a built in laptop mouse for the games though. Also I'm not quite sure the speed of the games is 100%. Block Buster seems a tiny bit slower / easier when it starts out. Then when you hit the top bricks, it goes faster than it even does on the system. Edited December 9, 2011 by TheGameCollector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My highest score so far is 37, but then again, I just got the game today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 124. The challenge is on, people. Time to dig into your closet or storage room, and play this beauty with its 16 x 16 resolution. I was hoping to get to a point where all 4 bumpers were lit, but I never quite got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 146... on this system that has 1/8100 the pixels my TV has. What this might look like on an emulator ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 215... Probably obvious hints: you're asking for trouble if you try to hit the bumper near the bottom of the screen. Also, if you can, if the ball just bounced off a bumper, try to send it back in the same direction from where it came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, I just got a "new" Microvision from France, and it's the best one I've got as far as the LCD goes! My new high score is 224, and I finally got all 4 bumpers lit. FYI, if you hit an unlit bumper, you get 1 point. If you hit a lit bumper (it lights after hitting it 4 times), you get 2 points. If all 4 bumpers are lit (each hit 4 times at least), you get 3 points for each bumper hit. If you don't have a Microvision, you can try the simulation here: http://home.comcast.net/~eichler2/microvision/MicroPinSim.htm. Feel free to add your high scores here... we can track two high scores... one for real, one for simulation. Either way, have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Okay, me again... 248... that's enough for now... still pretty easily beatable... I'm not that great at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaman Legends Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Wish I had a microvision but didnt get into it at first until I saw how cool it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well, yesterday I got a score in the 300's... but I can't remember the exact score... so let's peg it at 300 even. I spent a lot of time sending the ball (or block ) right back to the top-most bumper. If you don't know, sometimes the ball bounces at random angles (off the walls and bumpers), so it's not 100% predictable which way the ball will go. However, there's usually only a couple of options, so, if the ball is hitting the top bumper, I'll do my best to send the ball back exactly where it came from. For example, if the ball comes down towards the left, I'll send it up and to the right. Note that the way the ball bounces off the paddle is predictable, and depends on where the ball hits the paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 413. Still concentrating on the top bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Nice score. I think the retrocade site is tracking a few Microvision games now. You should submit your score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
