Title: Perth Pinball meet
Post by: GAP on June 30, 2013, 04:26:00 PM: Thanks to Mark and Claire for hosting another gathering of the Perth Pinball Collectors & Restorers.
Great venue, great food and a great lineup of pins that included some new additions (Capcom's Airborne and Breakshot). The competition for the high score (Freudian Flip) and low score (Rusty Balls) was on the Breakshot machine which no one had even played before the comp started. Andy (oldskool1969) took out the high score trophy, while Ralph (Ralph67) took home the Rusty Balls award - again.

Mark again ran the fantastic comp on the Getaway machine where you have a five ball game and the player must interact with each ball at least once, but not score over 10 million points. I thought I had that one in the bag with approx 9.6 mil until Ted beat it by 36 000.

Cheers
Graeme

ps. I did not tell anyone that it was Mark's __th _____day
