Random Billion Point Award on Freddy Pinball

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

Hi.

I have noticed that occasionally I will be activate a "BILLION" award
while playing Freddy.

Thanks to this strange phenomomon, I have crushed the previous high
scores on my machine.

Does anyone know what shots, or combination of shots are necessary in
order to activate the award on purpose?

My awards are always the result of blind luck, but I would like to know
which shots I need to work on in order to activate it on purpose.

Any help is appreciated.

Keith,

Thanks for the response.

However, I have been in games, with a score around 200 million and the
ball is bouncing off the wall of souls and the freddy target that can
award an extra ball, and then the BILLION celebrations pops up, and my
score is like 2.8 billion. This is the issue I am researching. Have
you ever heard of this occurring?

I have a new roommate, who hasn't ever played Freddy before, wipeout 3
of my top 5 scores in his first hour of playing. He hasn't done it
since, but I believe that the issue may have been corrected when I
altered some settings in the menu.

Even though my high score of 9.4 Billion is fun to show, I feel as
though I didn't really "earn" the high score. I feel as though I
"lucked" myself into it.

Anyway, thanks for the response.
