PINBALL FANTASIES - Billion Dollar Gameshow

[kinmanyuen]

i had a 286sx with only 1mb ram and a soundblaster pro in 1995..

This game runs smooth and the music/sound (mod) is freakin amazing! It made me forget my snes!

[hooker1uk]

@kinmanyuen i'm still in awe at how it played on an IBM ps/2 with no sound card. identical sounds from the pc speaker, not loud but amazing amount of witchcraft it could do,

[pianoman74]

@hooker1uk Oh yes! PC version was THE state of the art if you had no Amiga anymore and could not afford a decent PC to run the UAE emulator on (if you remember how expensive Pentium IIs were at that time)

Im am playing this with my amiga 500. MONEY MANIA , YOU GOT NEW TV!

3 Diskettes 2 and 3 is the map diskettes !

Der Tisch hatte schnell den Ruf von leicht und eher langweilig. In der Tat war das ein Tisch für Einsteiger, da man sehr schnell, ja fast spielend, auf hohe Wertungen kam.

Dennoch hatte der Tisch auch seine Tiefe, die durch die wenigen Bahnen nicht ganz so offensichtlich waren.

Dennoch muss man sagen, hätte man aus dem Tisch und was er vermitteln sollte, wesentlich mehr rausholen können.

Der Tisch hatte schnell den Ruf weg ziemlich leicht und eher langweilig zu sein.

In der Tat ist das der Tisch für Einsteiger, da man sehr schnell, ja fast spielend auf hohe Zahlen kommt.

Der Tisch machte aber durchaus Spaß und war nach einem tiefgehenderen Blick gar nicht mal so seicht, sondern hatte viele Möglichkeiten. Aber die wenigen Bahnen sorgten für weniger Unterhaltung. Aus der Story den der Tisch vermitteln sollte, hätte man mehr rausholen können, zugegeben.

[pianoman74]

@ZhardeMad Er war überhaupt nicht seicht! Das Gemeine lag in den herauszuknobelnden Kombinationen (im Uhrzeigersinn, im Gegenuhrzeigersinn etc...) für die einzelnen Gewinne. Wenn ich's noch richtig weiß musste man CAR TRIP und TV haben damit man an die anderen überhaupt rankam. Die genannten 3 durften natürlich nicht mehr blinken, dann behielt man sie im nächsten Ball.

I came close to the billion once but never got therem, awsome fun.

[Gravedig00]

Anyone got that billion?

[Kirbbard]

I got the billion dollars only once before. I was about 10. That was 16 years ago...

[bakterya2k7]

@Gravedig00 yeah...it's hard, but possible :)

[quadrupleplay]

8:16 = Huh? That sounded like "What uh that?"

This is so incredibly entertaining to watch. You're quite good even though you're not scoring a whole lot...and that's how we know.

[quadrupleplay]

It took me around eight years or so to get the Billion the first time: I'd lost many, many balls with the Boat and House won! I've scored 13 of them in total.

Because there's not a whole lot else here and no Hold Bonus problem, my score's only 2,471,403,160.

By the way, everyone, I've reworked Erik Mooney's original rulesheet for this game into my own experiences and discoveries, giving credit where it's due. I could send it around if anyone wants it. (Duplicating this for other readers.)
