[Game On] 3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet

BTP

Is there any reason to not have a Game On thread over a game that nearly everyone has? :P

SO LET'S PLAY SOME PINBALL!



I think we're going to need a Top 20 scoreboard for this one.

MechMantis

It is SO on. Score will be posted after a game.


EDIT: Goddamnit. My printscreen function refuses to work. My score: 1733250


Screenshot to come as soon as printscreen works.

Pata

As soon as I get home it is ON.

Also we need screenshots to prove our awesome.

Malkor

Vista!!

Campion

Alright, I'm bringing "it".


So far: 2041750 That's my final score for today.

MechMantis

EDIT: Yay fixed.


EDIT2: Or not.

Lord Yod

H-scroll:

First time playing in like 2 years.

MechMantis

WAR. THIS MEANS WAAAAAAAAR.

BTP

I'll wait for a few more scores before I update it.

MechMantis

Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do much in the way of this competition.


I simply cannot take screenshots. Which sucks ass.

I've got no problem going with the Honour System right now, until we get to some really high scores.

Got a camera? Can you take a picture of the screen instead of Ctrl+PrntScreen?

paco_pepe

count me in:

5,992,500

mr weenis

it was years ago, but i got somehwere in the 3,000,000's

cooljammer00

is this game on Vista?

also, once at like 3 in the morning, I had gotten into a fight or something for some reason I cant remember (it was a long long time ago) and I rage-played the game into the 5 millions. No one is gonna take my work for it, but can I at least get an honorable mention?

ikillkenny

On a related note, does anyone have any suggestions for good pinball games on the PC? I used to have this medieval themed one which was pretty good, but I can't remember its name.

Most of the Pro Pinballs are EXCELLENT. They've even fixed 'em to run in XP, which is great.

BTP

And the boards are finally updated!

Yes. BoardS.

Viscountalpha

I so need to do this

Joshua368

Aw man, this game was awesome. I remember getting sooooo far back on the '95 and '98. Sucks that Vista didn't come with it... to shady Internet websites I go!

*downloads*

Alright, let's see what I can do here. I might come back if I get a decent score.

Oh wow. Vista doesn't have it? Man. thats a ripoff!

Orogogus

I can't complete a mission to save my life. But I'm in for 2,931,750.

Lucky Cynic

Fun fact: this is made by our beloved Maxis.

Lord Yod

Holy shit, the black hole makes me want to punch babies.

UncleSporky

So how far can you guys get?

I only ever got through the training "dot" and then maybe one other dot after that. The missions start getting a lot tougher.

xWonderboyx

You guys know there are cheats, right? We had a competition going for a while when I was in class (not supposed to be playing obviously), but to be devious I would enable the cheat and best the highest score just barely. Be on the lookout for someone who keeps magically popping up with the best scores, or some ridiculous score.

Mr_Grinch

I don't have this on my work machine

Organichu

bloodwings

cheat

type hidden test.
control the ball with the mouse.

cooljammer00

yeah, but this is an honor system, like the SE++ no masturbation contest. if you need to cheat to win, you are already a loser.

I think I would rather clean shredded baby rabbit parts off the bottom of a power mower than have that thought again anytime this year.

Lord Yod

Can we please go a day without bringing up shredded bunnies?

Vater5B

I'll give it a shot... This is my warm-up round:

Maybe we could do a cheat mode time attack. The best way to make points is fairly obvious, though, unfortunately, so it probably wouldn't work out very well.

Joshua368

Still getting warmed up, I'm quite a bit rusty.



That'll do for now though. I have yet to be able to complete an Ensign-rank assignment recently.


Also, does anyone know how to get an extra back-up ball? My brother got one recently and I'm not sure how he did it.

That wouldn't happen to be 3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night, would it? (I loved that game. Don't think it held up too well, though.)

Maybe Crystal Caliburn or Golden Logres, from Littlewing. I think these hold up rather better.

Golden Logres:

Turner

I just got 5,101,750...

I don't have anywhere to put the picture though. Should I PM it to somebody?

BTP

Despite my best efforts tonight, I could only manage to minimally improve my score.



Oh well. Patience is a virtue, right? I'll break my all-time high of 13 million+ soon enough.

jothki

Urgh, just got nearly four million on my first ball, then horribly screwed up the next two.

Walrus Pete

It's an old score, I'll work on beating it shortly.
