Its digital pinball why does it have coin-sucking ways for lose the ball without recourse??

Or do I just not know the deep lore of pinball and how to keep the blockers deployed in the side routes 100% of the time.

It's because you're not tilting, it's an intended mechanic.

This, and also you can reopen the left/right gates by hitting the hazard lights to the left/right of the top bumpers.

It was easy for me after enough hours playing, IIRC I had a ~100M record... must have the record file anywhere.

Actually I have the game installed in Windows 10, but I no longer play it. I lost the aim in the central targets that give endless extra balls.

How did you install it on win10?

Hi, hope you're still there.

I don't remember doing anything special. Just copied the files from my older laptop in a writable directory, not under Program Files, but under my user home dir.

Let me know if you have any problem with that.

This version has a pretty low frame rate, it's just not very snappy. I downloaded the version on the Microsoft store and it works just like I remember.

I was able to get better performance by increasing the FPS to 120 in Options -> Graphics
