Hi all,

I had my first frustrating go at stones and bones on pinball fantasies ecs on my Amiga 4000d running on workbench 3.9.

Some things to note:

1. when running with whdload, hit the Help key at the main menu to change the tables so that stones and bones is selectable.

2. The ball movement is very erratic on this table and on many occasions totally contrary to how the ball should move. Basically means you lose the ball a lot more than you should because the ball suddenly speeds up for no reason or bounces back at an impossible angle.

My best score before I got totally frustrated was 25,487,250.

Over to you all.

Catcha,
Epsilon

Hey Epsilon,
Not a bad score though!  I agree it has some weird physics (maybe that's the spooky nature of it?)    I do like the music and some of the challenges look pretty cool..  I only got 6.5 mill or something so I'm not posting an official score just yet..
Keep on trying mate!  Pinball is supposed to be frustrating!

My best tonight: 30,413,860! On my Amiga 1200.
