I got a few more runs in today. I thought I had a shot at breaking 200k, but I'm still pretty satisfied considering I've only owned this game for a day without ever having played it before. 181,610
^^^Great score for first time It only takes one random good ball and you will be points leader!
I just played a quick game when I got home with it, but it does seem like there is a lot of randomness involved. I'm sure there's some strategy to it as well, but I doubt I'll hit Pinball Wizard status by Sunday evening (especially as long as the Bearcats are still alive in the Big East Tournament which already rules out me playing anymore tonight).
How come some of the bigger scores in this thread have a picture taken when the current game is still in progress? Seems to make more sense to me to have the pic taken after the game over starting a new game where your top score will still be shown and your current score will show 000000 and that you have 2 balls.
Played some more today, still can't break 200000 but managed to hit around 160xxx. Don't think I ever knew the flippers came back at 150000 so I guess that means I beat my childhood record.

If you don't press anything at the start screen then the computer automatically plays but still shows your highest and most recent score
I think the whole goal is to free her to get points anyway
So you are done with the ball and you will return to the normal high playfield, no matter what right?
Its been a while since I played
yeah you do want to catch her then bring her to one of the exits. I was just wwaiting for her to walk off but then i need to get to the other side of the screen to save my ball so i went the opposite way and she hadn't wuiet made it to the platform, so she fell on the ground and then i lost a ball and had to re shoot ( instedad of when your ball goes out of the screen on that one, you don't lose a ball it just sends you back to the top level.
If you walk in one direction long enough she will turn around and walk the same way, I like to catch her on the edge if I have to go to the opposite side to catch the ball and have her walk to the opposite side as I'm going.
Well I was going to wait and post this later today but seeing as Lincoln has out-classed us all by a huge amount...
I got 217,000 on the first ball which was pretty wicked.
Uploaded a video of this score as well (whole game):
EDIT: Lincoln did you find a good safe shot and repeat it for a long time, pausing to take breaks? 500k is insane, must have have found a pretty good exploit . Or maybe triple penguins + a sweet top screen session?

if you can get all the cards turned over on the lower screen its pretty easy to keep the ball safe. it takes forever to rack up points down there though. I bet it was a good hour of playing. I prefer to have the ball up top because you can keep hitting that accumulating bumper for 1000 a shot. I had a good run of the bonus game too, I think I saved the girl 3 times one round at 10k each.

this game is getting tiring is there a point for me to still keep going? I can't set a world record without video :?
OK I'm done, got tired and just starting making a lot of mistakes...don't care, I have video from after flipping on but it doesn't matter, I had to take a picture paused before it fell in the hole to total the score...
1,648,580 That takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long to want to do again... Beat that Guill
so they don't give you another free ball after flipping, but it does go invisible again at 100,000- 150,000
Well this it it for me. I had an amzing third ball that probably got me over 200,000 points but then when I have to go back to default settings (no safety nets) I choke.
Nice scores! I've played this game alot, and I was thinking the top would be around 600k or 700k, but 1.6 million, is damn impressive! Wish I wasn't so damn busy lately, would have loved to compete on this one
