CHAMPION Jesus Cortes Torrico
Score: 429,496,729,500

When I was a child, near my home there was a bar with a pinball machine. That pinball was a VERY nice game. Among other things, there were four "fruits lights": a lemon, a strawberry, a pear and an orange.

When I did a series of actions, a fruit light lighted, and when I got to light the four fruits, automatically an extra game light lighted.

Then, when I got to stop the ball with a flipper, I aimed to the extra game light, launched the ball and... crack, a very pleasant sound said me that I had gained a free game! What a nice game!

Unfortunately the pinball was later removed from there and I have not seen it more... Actual pinball machines are very different, and I don't like them.

Jinni Zeala remided me of that pinball. Since the first time I played Jinni I remembered the pinball machine of my infancy. The game is different, but the style is similar.

Because it I wanted to learn to play Jinni Zeala the best as possible for me. One day I discovered the Internet contest and I wanted to participate.

The competition made me like Jinni Zeala even more, and I didn't mind to stay many hours in front of the monitor to get a good position in the contest. I am very glad with this first position. Thanks to the makers of Jinni Zeala for many pleasant hours.

CHAMPION Takashi Kawamura
Score: 429,496,729,500

I really enjoyed JINNI ZEALA. I've started playing it just for killing time, but soon I've got hooked by the groovy music and attractive features.

Also JINNI ZEALA was good for me as I can aim at high scores by carefully doing bonus stages one by one even special reflex is not gifted.

My strategy was "How I can master Felucca" from beginning to end. I've started with practicing to shoot a ball into Felucca Hole again and again because it was the easiest in Bonus Stages and also extra ball and Harem Jackpot can't be got without it.

I held the ball rolling down from the return lane and shot at the right timing to the Felucca Hole. It wasn't too difficult. Practicing nudge also began with putting a ball into Felucca Hole directly from the sling shot by nudging.

When I started to aim at the high score, I always think about the strategies to get big points using Felucca. In effect, I fully enjoyed the game play and the honor of the champion.

I thank the staff of LittleWing who created this wonderful game and Mr. Jesus Cortes who guided me to the top score.

Lastly, now I enjoy MONSTER FAIR. I like the cute animations very much.

Visit the champion's web site for the movie captures of his awesome play. Though the site is written in Japanese, you will find two links. "felucca.wmv" is to see the massive scoring in Full Felucca Bonus & Multi ball. "allbonus.wmv" is to see all five bonus stages start at the same time. Windows Media Player v.9.0 or higher required.

The third prize Akihiko Takahashi
Score: 100,247,003,300

I'm so happy and honored to have won the third prize. It was hardly imaginable to get 100 billion at the beginning... I remember playing under pressure with trembling fingers to top the 100 billion mark as my score exceeded 90 billion. I was in trance when I reached 100 billion at last. The two champions are really awesome!

By the way, I bought a Macintosh just to play JINNI ZEALA for this contest as I spent so many hours for a game. And needless to say, I was always worried about blackouts.

I believe the LittleWing pinball is perfect, which is second to none. Besides its realistic ball movement, it always implements new idea and amazingly reproduces illogical joy of fantasy in pinball. (may be I'm too maniac.)

I have an idea to be implemented in the perfection. It is "special", hitting a target blinking in red awards a credit. Everybody who has played real arcade machines would know how the blinking target attracts me and how happy to hear the sound when I hit it.

The only thing I can not enjoy in the LittleWing pinball is special. I know it may be meaningless to add credits in computer pinball. But I do hope to restore the joy of special in future products by an unique idea.

I remember I used to spent the nights playing Crystal Caliburn. As you may know, it had a "Insert Coin" command to add a credit. I placed a piggy bank beside the monitor and put two 100 yen coins in it, then added three credits before starting a game.

I even made my own rule for replay. I set a score to award replay and added a credit when the score exceeded it. Naturally a lot of coins were saved in the piggy bank soon. I guess I already conceived a wish for special at that time.

I rarely see real pinball machines in arcades recently. I hope LittleWing keeps on creating new titles. Thank you very much.

The 100th prize Kazuto Yahagi
Score: 602,388,000

I was very surprised when I received a message that I got the 100th prize. I'm excited as I did not expect to get it at all. I've got worried if I used all my luck for this year(^^;. I'm very happy to get JINNI ZEALA T-shirts. Thank you.

The 200th prize TANAZO
Score: 235,198,900

I like LittleWing pinball which is simple and full-bodied(?). I'm aiming at the 100th in MONSTER FAIR Highscore Contest.

The 300th prize zorbas
Score: 93,242,000

The 400th prize Hiromichi Yokoi
Score: 37,028,000

I'm so glad to get the 400th prize. Since I've played TRISTAN, I enjoy enormous pleasure of getting jackpots with the energetic sound effects in LittleWing pinballs. JINNI ZEALA is good for me to get rid of my stress as there are various enjoyable features. JINNI ZEALA T-shirts will be a good commemoration of this contest. Thank you.

The 500th prize Pietro J
Score: 15,687,200

If I had the space, I would have long ago started a collection of my favorite pinball machines. As luck would have it, I had no space and instead discovered the joys of Littlewing Pinball. What fun! I can't really say which is my favorite, since it depends too much on my mood, but Jinni Zeala had me pretty addicted until I had to return to school, while the others languished. I can't wait for more games so I can addict my new family to the same quality entertainment.

Many thanks to all contestants!
