I remember racking up the bonus on the Meteor.. I recall the software had an issue where the game would reset at 999,9XX.. Mine did anyway - and I thought it was an MPU problem...
Bloody Stern - They NEVER finish the code on any of their games.. 
There are a few software glitches on Meteor, but I have not come across that one! I have rolled many a Meteor and never had that happen.

I re checked my notes on that it "locked up" - or froze every few games. I re burnt the ROMs, changed to another perfect MPU200.. didn't do it with my Altek..
