Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

[tenorhero]

Does anyone know if there is a max limit on the Vader Frenzy amount? It's pretty easy to get and hit once started so thought it would be interesting to know. Think I had it up to 400k per shot without particularly going for it.

As far as I know it ramps up starting at 100k then 110k 120k etc. If you had it at 400k a shot then that may be the max. Wow 400K per shot?!?!?! You can get a good shot going there if you get that certer shot down pat. Good thing it's timed and needs several shots to start. Also sometime trying for that center 'Vader' hole can lead to some nasty bounces and lose the balls in the out-lanes.

It sadly maxes out at 1 Million per shot. I was hoping it would still increment by 10,000 after achieving 1 Million, but alas it does not. It's definitely worth maxing though, for EOB bonus alone.

Agree: I noticed the timer pausing and thought it was a great feature, can be very annoying when the timer is ticking down and you're stuck willing your ball to drop out of the bumpers.

Its definitely a nice feature, I hope we see it in more tables in the future too.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it already, but I like how the "background" changes on Episode V depending on which scene you start up. Snow for Hoth scenes, swamp for Yoda mission, clouds for cloud city, and general space background with star destroyers floating by. Nice little touch.

On a side note, I am surprised the standalone SW app for iOS has still not released. I was hoping it was being held to be an editor's choice app on the app store but it looks like the store was updated today and no SW pinball The good news is that the regular ZP app is being featured in the app store.

brilliant

Ive been playing alot of ESB and trying to beet my HS of 119m. Finally after many trys I got it up to 286m. Dont know who designed this brilliant table but this is a work of art. Cool missions, great multiballs, smooth overall play, challeging plus much more. Cant wait for the next SW tables, the first three are excellent.

That would be Deep who also made the Fantastic Four and Infinity Gauntlet tables.

Infinity Gauntlet and Ms. Splosion Man are 2 of my favorites! Makes sense

'An extra ball you should get it hmm'

Infinity Gauntlet and Episode V are two of my favorites, Deep does nice work.

having four multiball modes running at the same time can really rack up some high scores..and then sometimes hitting force hurry up during those multiballs is a great way to score

trying to get the extra balls first would really help a lot..try to get the training extra ball..then the multiplier or force extra ball..and some luck on the empire award.

Fellow pinballers check out the high score on ESB PS3. Am I seeing things, put my glasses on to confirm this insane 271 billion. Wow.

271 billion??
what sorcery is this?

[s-carnegie]

247 billion my mistake, but still is this possible. Again Wow.

[skyway73]

247 billion my mistake, but still is this possible. Again Wow.

I spent around 4 hours just trying to get a billion and still didn't quite make it so 247 billion is mind blowing. I can only think of a few ways a score like that may be feasible and I really hope it has been achieved legitimately. If you know what I'm saying. Or maybe this person is an actual pinball Jedi?...
