I downloaded it earlier but can't get to my computer now. If needed, later, I'll temporarily put the files somewhere until VPinball is available again.

Wait.. are we playing 3 ball or 5 ball? In my game it was giving me 5...

[JustAnotherRat]

5 ball. That appears to be the default.

[starcommand79]

In that event.. First score.. 4512.

Oh man, this table is brutally hard! :o

Quickly driving my family nuts with the bells. If you don’t hear from me again then my family have done me in:043:

I cant figure out how the rules work. I don't understand the instructions. As usual on most EM's the outlanes are quite harsh, this one is particularly bad. I'm usually better than this on most EM's.

I’m unsure of the scores submission rules of the VPL. Do you get to submit one score per game or is it progressive if you achieve a higher score before the closing date. Also are there any rules for how many games you can play before submitting. Obviously there is high pressure with the bragging rights and fine coffee drinking vessel and I’m rather cautious of over stepping vpl etiquette. 🤔oh thanks for the Red and Ted game selection Mr & Mrs Mozzie. Lots happening in that game. It’s a ripper. Playmatic is tricky. Like a Sonic journey back in time playing that fellah and I guess that’s the point of playing an EM game. It’s cool. Cheers.

Welcome to the league :cool:

 

you can submit as many scores as you like. Usually, people post scores as they improve their score. There is no limit to number of scores you post or how many games you play.

What Jed said....

 

I encourage multiple entries as it makes us look popular.

 

Post as many scores as you like and each time you improve if you like. Share tips and tricks for any of the games you have or ask if others have any to offer if you are in need.

 

We are up for a good bit of banter throughout the competition as well. We aim for a fun, friendly and jovial environment.

Hahahaha. Love it. Awesome. My kind of league

[RusstyT]

Nothing to show but I did get the ball stuck on the left hand kicker

[RusstyT]

Did my doe on this bad boy. Like taming an eel.

From early reports this is a tough game to play... and to work out. I hope to have a go soon and see for myself, but my controller needs replacing first before I have a real crack.
