A pinball game I noticed on the List of Ideas. I'm thinking of doing this, but my goal is not yet set in stone. Any ideas for a goal to aim to?

max points? Or is that too obvious?

There is no maximum. According to the rules, the game is finished when no new content appears anymore. Arguably, that would be when seeing every feature at least once: the extra life in the screen at the top, all three actions from the fruit machine, the use of every element, including the arrows that appear in both directions as a result of the fruit machine, hitting all flags for the A, B and C things in the bottom screens. I might be forgetting some things. Finding a way to do that as fast as possible would be quite a challenge. I've played it a bit in TAS mode, and it's easy to get a very high score. But doing it fast requires a lot of planning, I think.

I had no idea this had an MSX version. Any reason why you'd choose this over the presumably more feature rich NES version?
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

For me, the same reason I play any MSX game: nostalgia. I used to play games on the actual MSX, including this one.
