Some missions had the player hit certain targets for a number of hits, other missions had the player re-enter the same place where he first accepted the mission.

Background on this game. It was originally a part of a collection published by Maxis, of SimCity fame. Full Tilt! Pinball (Wikipedia) included three tables, one of them made it to Windows ME and XP Games packs.

As for missions, here is what I can recall:

  • Launch: Lower left elevated ramp.
  • Attack bumpers: ball hits against upper bumpers, and other targets *
  • Orbits (I can't recall if this is an actual mission): Full orbits of back passageway around the top of the table
  • Wormhole: (can't remember, but it was a thing)

Completing missions lights up the yellow ring in the center of the table, or maybe Blues first. Wikipedia has some detail on the game mechanics.

The Three Shots to Master Send the ball up the Hyperspace Chute from the middle of the left flipper. With practice, you'll be able to do this as a reflex shot, putting the ball up the hyperspace chute several times in a row.
