I know there are others that have probably reached a higher score, but thought I would share. Ive been playing this off and on for over 11 years. I actually dont remember when I started.

I'm surprised the numbers go that high

That must have taken forever.

Over 11 years at least.

Once during a long train trip I beat the Metroid Prime three times in a row in Metroid Prime Pinball, and at that point I told myself "OK, this game will never end, drain all remaining balls and do something else".

Big thanks to the awesome people over at /c/retrogaming for helping me get my save file off the Caanoo and into something more modern (Skyemu and Miyoo mini plus).

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Holy crap, that's dedication. Were you using savestates at all?

My late uncle let me play his copy when I was a kid, and when he told me I caught some pokemon he didn't have. I got really proud of myself. I remember always trying to get the Master Ball, but it was too hard on the Red table, so I'd always play blue.

Off and on. At first I didn't, then decided to do it later on when I figured it out on the caanoo.

It's great to hear about your uncle.

Oh man, you just inspired me to dig through multiple boxes and dust off my Caanoo (and it's older brother the GP32).
