or maybe somebody attempted to?

I've made it pretty far. I had Dawn of Time ready in the time machine, but I ran out of luck and didn't get to shoot for the crystal to travel there before I lost the ball right down the centre.

I had billions of points by that time, if I recall, it was a long time ago, when I first owned the game. Now all I seem to manage is getting to Ancient Rome and at most a billion.

well congrats, right now I seem to be the same level, I mean around billion points and second time zone. We'll see who gets there first. ;)

Yeah, getting drained right down the centre is pretty annoying. I guess one has to nudge quickly then, but of course it's more tempting to rely on the pin

I bought Big Race USA too but it seems timeshock gives me so much work that god wonders when will i play it, not to mention Fantastic Journey. Sometimes I even wonder that Timeshock is all I need in games. I don't get how can people complain about it being just one table. This game is huuuge!

It's all about intuition, I think, and being familiar with the physics and nuances of the table. Sometimes it will just 'feel' right to let the pin bounce it back.

And yeah, it is huge. There's so many different challenges. I think those who complain about it being only one table are probably looking for something completely different in a pinball table than I.
