Cheating at Microsoft Pinball

Ah, good old Pinball. Not
as popular as Solitaire, but fun for a few minutes nonetheless. While there's really no good system for cheating at
Solitaire (I mean, that's kinda lame, right?), there are apparently several good cheats around for Pinball. ActiveWin's
Kristan Kenney has the list of Pinball cheats for you. Are
there more? How could there be? From unlimited balls to an instant 1,000,000 points, what more are you looking for?
Nude pics of Ballmer? Anyway, amaze your friends with
your pinball prowess by upping your levels and adding millions of points. It's all in a day's work.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

the million points one doesnt work, heck the only one I could get to work was extra ball, what could I be doing wrong, it's just shift + H.

They do work if they're put in the right context. Not the one for launching before the game starts though. The "Shift + h" is not a hoax, but it doesn't need the "Shift" either. You need to go into debug mode (hidden test) and then press "H". It will give you the max score of 1,000,000,000 (not 1 mil.), but you cannot get first place in the high scores. To use the cheats, wait until the game starts and the ball settles on the plunger, then type them in. Be warned though, the unlimited balls and debug mode will make it so you cannot register your high score, but they're fun to play with just the same.
