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.

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).

Hopefully ill be playing the game for another decade :D

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.
