100,000,000+ one ball, Iron Man..For the Non-Believers...

I've gotten Do or Die and Jericho on one ball. It's not often, maybe once every 20 games, but it happens. If you get that combination, combined with the rest of your points, 100M+ is pretty likely.

IM is one of those games that vastly changes in difficulty depending on outlanes and tilt settings due to the lack of safe shots.

The score I posted above definitely involved both Do or Die and Jericho on the same ball.

Nice work! I actually think IM is a much funner game with factory outlanes (peg 3) and a loose tilt, or tight tilt and outlanes on peg 2 or 1.

Tilt tilt + Open outlanes is just frustration for me with IM's very random gameplay. When it first came out we described it as a "modern EM with only three balls".

...then why does EVERYONE else who plays this game consider it very challenging, addicting, and fun? No one else has had this boring easy experience on Iron Man.

Something doesn't add up.

It's not unheard of to get 100 million on Iron Man....

...but - first ball, first game? Must have been set on super easy, or the magnets were disabled/broken, a switch was stuck and racking up points, or the back legs were all the way down so it played super slow....otherwise, I still call bullshit.

Definitely not everyone feels that way. I know many people who think IM is super shallow and boring and I agree with them. Not first ball on first game, but I had over 100 million within my first 5 games and got to Jerico Missile Mayhem. I agree with the OP, for $4,000+ I expect much more.
