Sunday 11-16-25 New Pinball Challenge, Puzzle & Games

 

Happy Sunday

 

It was a laid back day of just hanging around the house. It was hot with the high temperature of 86 degrees and the low of 64 degrees. 

I spent day playing games. Larry read on his e-reader.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 29 seconds, which put me in 23rd place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2.

Today is the beginning of a new week so I got a new weekly pinball challenge. It's Austin Powers. We have seen it during our travels in real pinball but I don't believe we have ever played it. We have never had this on our pinball cabinet so Larry was excited to load it up. It worked in 2D but it was a challenge to get working in VR. Other people also had difficulties, some found work arounds but Larry was not real happy with how they worked. It took some time but he eventually got it working perfectly.  

The new challenge started at 1:00 and the old challenge ended at 1:00. Last week's challenge was Xenon and I played the game for about an hour to try to get a new high score but was unsuccessful. My final high score was 251,120, which put me in 62nd place out of 82 participants. Then I played Austin Powers and got my first high score of 75,555,220. In order to submit my score I had to take the picture from the side because if I did it from the front one of the flippers was covered.

After dinner I played six different pinball games. They were Junk Yard, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Time Lord, Dark Chaos, Fish Tales and JP Space Cadet. While playing Junk Yard I became high score #4.

I worked on my jigsaw puzzle while relaxing.

In the evening we watched Transformers four, which was Transformers: Age of Extinction. When Larry went to bed I watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Finding Nemo. The three movies were from our collection of movies. I did 3,000 steps.
