~Pinball Fantasies Deluxe


Obtaining an extra ball  -  By Simon Burrows


`Issue 35  of Cheet Sheets saw an edit for Pinball Fantasies which
`involved  using   a  hex   editor  on   the  .PRG   table  files.
`Unfortunately, this  isn't  possible  on  the  Pinball  Fantasies
`section of  Pinball Fantasies  deluxe since  this is  on  CD  and
`therefore cannot be written to.

`However, whilst  I was  playing through one of the tables on this
`deluxe edition  I noticed that you are awarded an extra ball each
`time your  score passes  the previous high score.  If, therefore,
`you want an extra ball, all you need to do is edit the high score
`table so  that the highest score is so small that you can pass it
`and get the extra ball within a few seconds.

`Because the high score tables are saved to your hard disk this is
`very possible, although this cheat is limited to the four Pinball
`Fantasies tables  and  NOT  the  Pinball  Mania  tables,  because
`Pinball Mania  does not seem to incorporate this extra ball for a
`high score bonus.


~`Anyway, to carry out the cheat take the following steps :-


`  i) Enter the \21STCENT\PFD directory
` ii) Load up your favourite hex editor
`iii) Pop-up  the relevant  file for the table you wish  to get an
`     extra ball on :-
`
`   - Partyland: TABLE1.HI
`   - Speed Devils: TABLE2.HI
`   - Billion Dollar Game Show: TABLE3.HI
`   - Stones 'n Bones: TABLE4.HI
`
` iv)  Go to  each of  the following  five hex-offsets  and insert
`     thirteen blocks of 00 at each :-
`
`   - 0
`   - F
`   - 1F
`   - 2F
`   - 3F
`
`   v) Now  save the  changes, load  up PFD  again, and choose the
`     table you  reduced the  high-scores  of.    When  you  start
`     playing you  will get  an extra ball as soon as you get your
`     first points.



~`Have fun...
