As reported over at Pinball News - First and Free, the German game publisher Zuxxez is offering ten thousand doallars for first prize in their promotion of the up and coming game release "Dream Pinball 3D". Amongst the prizes of the competition, the first place winner, most points in a single game, gets $10,000 and will be crowned Cyber Pinball World Cup 2006 wizard. Second and third places also win "cool prizes". The table for the competition can be downloaded at the Official Dream Pinball 3D Website. If nothing else, it is a download of an awesome 3D video pinball table. Screen shot and article courtesy of Pinball News - First and Free. Competition ends August 31, 2006 so don't wait to long to get started, it usually takes me a couple of days t get the feel of a table down and another couple of weeks to begin to master it. Of course, this is video pinball, so getting a feel for the table could be a problem. The current high score is around 20 billion, it is attainable...
