Ways to win at your own pinball meets
« on: January 24, 2013, 08:12:14 PM »
Had this bizzar thought. What would be some good novel ways to guarrantee beating your mates or the competition at pinball contests.

One that comes to mind is pulling the plug when it looks a given that you can't win that game. Another might be to shoot your competition but then I don't think they have pinneys in prison.

I thought the guy on king of kong did some great work to retain his records in the arcade hobby

Any ideas that I could jot down for future reference?

 Yeah that would work, just pre record your games (glass off of coarse) and roll out the tape when whenever anyone else scores better than you!  <.>

Improvise a hidden wire which pulls the tilt plumb bob and kills your mates bonus. You only know of this hidden wire and you activate while you stand next to machine during your mates go.
When he says "What the hell??????" you just tell him that he must be nervous and has the shakes.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,
