Can remember having games like that during the 1970s while the games were on location  !!!

Also the Captain Fantastic that used to be at Luna Park....all 3 balls did the same  #@#

There is no law against having fun just yet (but I am sure they are busy are drafting one!)

High Hand brings back memories. This game was in the local parlour for a month and at the end of the month, the highest score won the pinball. I remember putting a lot of 20c coins in and getting absolutely shite scores. Not quite as bad as yours shamus lol...but enough to give me the shits.

Would love to play one of those again and have a good half hour bash. Slevbro from Newcastle had one at his meet earlier this year but was out of order :(

For the record I won the comp with a score of 121k - 30 odd years ago - im showing my age.

i reckon high hand is a great game its no pushover,the powerfull slingshots can knock down some of the lower drops on most occasions but getting the centre pop out hole is the key here to collect bonuses,not an easy thing to do,but just like most games you seemed to have it all sorted out and then only to make you feel like a goose because ya played shitty shots,nothing is predictable thats why i love pinball.
