Triple Play. 10 points for getting all three robots completely behind a line that ran along at the points of the 3 home row goals. (Incidentally, the area was big enough for 4 robots... if you took the time to put them in. 2 robots started in the area, and one was out on the center home goal.) One tetra placed during that time could usually score 13 points if in the right place; if you really got lucky, 23 points, not counting the potential -20 to the opponents, so up to a 43-point swing if you didn't bother to go for 10 points.



Oh, and BTW: the hallmark of all the game hints for Triple Play was a very high tendency to the number 3.
