Shoot each ramp and orbit 3 times to start Total Annihilation 4-ball multiball where all shots are worth big points.
If game does not have Super-Bands on flippers, you can do "hop-over" after Lock: raise left flipper, nudge to feed right, re-shoot Lock.
Shooting a second ball into a saucer right after you destroy it, so the target wall traps it lets you one-shot the next as a "Dirty Pool"
In Total Annihalation shoot for orbits or lobster/cow ramps to increase jackpot, jackpot is collected at the inner left ramp (lock ramp)
Shoot the lane to the left of the saucer to light locks for multiball. More shots are required to light locks for subsequent multiballs.
