Mister VCS Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Game Info Top your own best pinball score! There are three screens each with a different playing set-up. You try to work your way up from screen to screen on the same ball. Get careless and you fall back again! Five balls each turn. Extra ball and bonus points for the Big Winners! Aim for targets, bounce off the bumpers. As in Arcade Pinball, the trick is to keep each ball ringing up points as long as you can! chosen by: cparsley Settings 1 Player Contest ends on Sunday, 05-02-2010 at 1:00 AM eastern.

IntellivisionDude Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Yay, i have this game. But i have only ever played it once, so i might have my work cut out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Pinball? Nope don't own it. I don't own much Intellivision (arcade games) so off to obscurity... or back to Atari 2600 HSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I don't think i'm gonna do good in this one. This was after at least a dozen attempts. Only once did i get to the upper board. I keep getting a bunch of cheap losses. Everytime i play my ball seems to slip between the paddles or goes around them all together. I'll keep trying but i think i'm out of this one unless i get lucky one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Though the physics are even worse than Video Pinball for Atari I still like this one. 21,500 so far but I know I can do better! GAME ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 HINTS: USE the DISC to bump the table (it'll prevent a ton of "cheap deaths") Use a full pull back on the first level to get the ball to go into the ball saver on the left side. Not only that, it'll make sure you get a 1,000 point bonus scorer for doing so. In final addition, it will either bring the ball down on the right side, or will aim it at the left flipper for you to flip to the spinner target.

1980gamer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) This game is very hard with a keyboard! I'll have to dig out the camera so I can try to better this on a real intellivision!

1980gamer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Second attempt. getting used to the keys. Remapped them. It helped a little. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 First I tried the Intellivision Lives version and it sucked so bad that I dug out the original game. 21,160 The original is at least playable. As far as physics, the mid 70's video pinball unit was actually better. I find that using the keypad #'s is easier than the side buttons for the flippers. I'll work on this some more.

cparsley Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I personally love using the '7' and '9' keys for left/right flipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Here is my latest attempt. Also decided to do another video just for fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AWr1AQB2Wg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 GOD DAMN man, stop DOUBLE FLIPPING!!! Serious;y, god invented the bottom side buttons for a reason How do you make ur recordings, and I'll do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 GOD DAMN man, stop DOUBLE FLIPPING!!! Serious;y, god invented the bottom side buttons for a reason How do you make ur recordings, and I'll do one. All i use is my Digital Camera. It can record video. Didn't think it made a difference if i double flipped. Guess i'm an amateur when it comes to Pinball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I cant believe I didnt type the 'l' key instead of the semi-colon... Double flipping is usually the quickest way to "cheap deaths" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well i just played about 5 games using the 4 and 6 keys and did just as bad with just as many cheap deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 alright alright, let me find that Aptek since the on-screen recording direct from Nostalgia isn't worth crap to see if I can tape some Pinball for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patbb Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) 6230, I played like 20 games to get that score! There's got to be a twist Edited April 20, 2010 by patbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm still looking for that video camera, but in the meantime, here's a new score... 128,440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 58,840 so far. This is getting massively frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
