I think this might be a aboard reproduction so I’d assume you already had this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actually read the rules, so I'm not sure what the figure 8 shot is..... though I could've got it without knowing what I was doing! I love those "last chance" flippers at the bottom - they're a really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those "last chance" flippers at the bottom - they're a really nice touch. The figure 8 shot is made off the bottom flippers. The ball literally traverses the the table in a figure 8. I like the concept of collecting stuff while three bad pink dudes are trying to steal it and you have to keep them at bay. 😁I really like how Bord lights his tables. I wonder if he is related to the Bord name associated with some pinball games coming out of Chicago? You know a long term family connection.

RusstyT Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 2,189,280 I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but really dig this game because of the flipper configuration. Managed the figure 8 shot and lit the 3 pink villains for the extra ball (not sure if I got it. ) they must have recorded the sounds backwards. 😆 The raspberry QBert blows at the end of the attract is crack up. Only thing I’d like would be a bit more response to a nudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legin Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 2,208,830 Weird game. For some reason I have to upload all of my pictures upside down to get them to show the right way up on this forum. Was never like that before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legin Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I just noticed in the first post that this is a 5 ball game. Mine is 3 balls by default. The score I posted is also a 3 ball score. What about the rest of you, are all your scores 3 ball scores too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I going crazy or did you change it RusstyT? Im a bit young to be losing the marbles!! No mate. You are sharp as ever. I changed it. 😁 writing and spelling are a bit tricky for me and it’s not uncommon that I miss spell or don’t read what I write properly. It’s good you pointed out the issue. It’s an ongoing family joke that the spelling police have to correct me. By the way I like your approach to practice shots critical to a game. Your in stellar form and It’s funny how much I want to win this quirky game. I got to 1,600,000ish last night. Who knows? Crakkers might storm us on his late night beer run. 😂 About that upside down screen for your pics. That’s weird. And I don’t have that issue. You could try copy and paste instead of add file. I do that for the 1st post picture. Also was the soprano games different to the version you had? Edited March 15, 2022 by RusstyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good game crackers. have you worked out the extra ball I think you have to nail the pink villain while it’s on the no 1 light for the villain to light the pink villain icon. If anyone knows I’d like to know. in my best game I worked out that if I slapped the side of the table in the direction the ball was going it stops the ball centre draining . Otherwise the table is very unresponsive to a nudge. Also I worked on the opening shot to get get the top rollover to get 20 k bonus lit. It’s very handy opening shot.

I haven't managed to get the extra ball yet, but I've got that opening shot sussed. I reckon I get it maybe 8 times out of 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusstyT Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Game 6 is now closed & RusstyT got his wish to be the big raspberry blower ahead of Legin 2nd who set a very high bench mark in a world of weirdness and what on earth is going on in this game. 😁 Crakkers ran out of beer to finish 3rd with notable control of the opening shot. 8 out of 10 hits for the opening shot is impressive. To all who participated thank you for making this a fun game to be part of Game 6 QBerts Quest Player Score Points RusstyT 2,598,300 1 100 legin 2,208,830 2 99 Crakkers 1,563,690 3 98 Pinzealot 1,001,460 4 97 vtdmame 418,170 5 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
