Chasing A High Score

The rules of pinball are simple - keep the ball in play for as long as possible and rack 
up as many points as you can. In this implementation of the game, the machine doesn’t eat 
coins - and no matter how much you shove and pull on the flippers, there’s no danger of 
getting the dreaded TILT message! So on you go ..... As with a real pinball machine, 
a little care and thought can add points to your game. Don’t just hit the flippers every 
time the ball gets near - try and catch the ball, let it come to rest and then bash it 
back into play with an aimed shot. And real bonus rounds can increase their score 
considerably by letting the bonus value on the dial build up before collecting the bonus 
value with a well-aimed shot through the bonus trap feature.

(1) Bonus Dial

Bonus points are awarded in hundreds - the circular counter keeps track of the bonus 
score, lighting the 20, 30 and SPECIAL lights when 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 bonus points 
have been accrued. The bonus score showing on the counter is automatically added to your 
score and the counter is reset to zero whenever you manage to get the ball into the Bonus 
Trap. If SPECIAL is lit when you get the ball into the Bonus trap, you are awarded an 
extra ball, and from then on while the current ball remains in play, there’s no need to 
get it into the Bonus Trap to collect bonus points - they are automatically added to your 
score each time you clock up 1,000. If you do bash the ball into the Bonus Trap again, 
you collect 5,000 points, so it’s still worth going for. When the ball goes out of play, 
the Bonus Dial resets to zero.

(2) Bonus Trap

Get your ball in here when there’s a decent bonus showing on the clock. You’ve got to get 
the Gate (3) open first however, and it is only open while the Revolver (4) is spinning 
round. Some nifty work with the right flipper is called for ... And you collect ten points 
for each revolution of the Revolver, so go for it.

(5) Rollover Lanes

Putting the ball through one of these earns 50 points and lights the lane light. Light 
all three lane lights and you score 200 points and advance the Bonus Dial by 400. 
Flipping the flippers shuffles the lights, so you can get an unlit light in a lane just 
before the ball rolls through it.

(6) The Black Hole

Nestle the silver ball in here to collect 200 points and advance the Bonus Dial by 300.

(7) Bumpers

British Standard Pinball Bumpers - bounce the ball of ‘em to collect ten points a time.

(8) Hairpin

Whizz the ball round this mini Wall of Death as fast as you can - the faster the ball 
travels, the more points you earn up to a maximum of 200 with an advance of 300 on the 
Bonus Dial.

(9) Tombstone Targets

Knock down Target One for 100 points and a Bonus Dial advance of 100; Target Two collects 
200 points and advances 200; Target Three, yes you've got it, collects 300 points and 
advances the Bonus Dial by 300. Then drop the ball into the Target Pit at the end of the 
channel to reset the Tombstones and start again...

(10) Sidebar Lights

Worth 60 points a pop; light the set of six and collect 400 points and advance the Bonus 
Dial by 500.

(12) Inner Rollover Lanes.

If the light is lit when the ball passes through, the Bonus Dial is boshed up by 100.

(13) Outer Rollover Lanes.

Pretty lights glow when the SPECIAL light has been lit. With the light lit, snuggling 
the ball down here earns a whopping 2,500.
