Anybody have a high score on TwinGalaxies?

[Jumpman Jr.]

Hey,
I was just wondering how good all of you guys and girls actually were at your games.
Do any of you have a high-score on the Twin Galaxies site? While searching to see if this had been discussed before, I saw a post where Sniderman claimed that he held the record for a game (can't remember the game right now).
I would actually have the fifth best time for the speed-run in Super Mario Bros., but I fail to see the point of sending in my tape. If I'm not 1st (and trust me, I'm trying), then I don't think I'll ever send one in. My current best time is 5:20 .

I never bothered with that site.. I did hold a world record in F-Zero GX though on another, official site. Someone beat it a few minutes later, but still..

Sniderman holds the record for Atari 2600 Halloween - 2,446,650 Took me 6 hours and I rolled the score twice. This beats my old high score where I basically stopped after breaking a million points. I am - to my knowledge - the only person who has ever earned 1,000,000 on this game. Let alone doing it twice. And rolling the score twice in one game with only 3 men? Gravy.

EDIT: February 2004, I tried to spearhead a drive to get more DP members to break some TG records. It was pretty fun. Here's a link:

I've got at least the record for the arcade version of Double Dragon

[joshnickerson]

About seven years ago I got some sort of record in Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island. I never even knew about that until it turned up in a small news blurb in my local paper.

I share the high score with four other for Laser Blast. Took me two hours. If you've ever played Laser Blast you can understand why only five people have bothered.

I have tapes for a couple other high scores, but I haven't bothered to send them in. I've destroyed the Penguin Wars record.

the contra (nes) record stands at 6,553,500... i've actually matched that score, but as of yet havent sent in the tape

i have ideas for other nes games, and some sega games too

then lastly im meaning to tape my tony hawks 3 prowess, highest combo on startoff stats with highest score

[Quintracker]

I've been meaning to send in some nes scores, but last time I checked the nes referee was in Canada and that's a little more postage than I'm willing to pay just to get my name on the website.

Its not that much?? I guarantee you it would only cost $3.10. Trust me.

I'm pretty sure I could get a high score on ninja gaiden. I usually play the game daily without dying and end up with 300, 000+ total. Doesn't sound very high, but when you use a continue, it is GONE.

There you are! I was actually going to mention you, I didn't even know you posted here :P Yeah, I was going to attempt to go for that record (Contra), but going through it so many times spoiled it for me... I felt like I was starting to think it was a boring game! I eventually just let my extra men expire.

I currently hold no records (that I know of)

[Juganawt]

I had 2 hi-scores, one for Green Beret (AKA Rush N Attack), and one for International Karate + a few years ago.

When Hall of Mame was still being updated I held the hi-scores for Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, and Super Sprint.

I think I've been knocked off all my perches since then though - it was about 5 years previous.

I've got quite a few first places...nothing really impressive, but I'm proud of them. What I'd really like is for someone to try and beat them (hint hint). :P Just click on the link in my signature to see them.

Just send off 5 tapes worth of new 2600 scores.

Let me know when you get them verified. I sent off some Atari 2600 scores about 9 months ago, and they're still in the queue. :/

[xredmenacex]

I have scores listed on three games. All of them were the high score at one time but they aren't anymore. I plan on retaking one of them sometime soon.

[boatofcar]

I tried to submit some We <3 Katamari scores, but they don't have a special format for them, so I don't know how to....

[Kitsune Sniper]

I wanted to submit some MAME scores, but they're really finicky with emulators, not to mention they won't update to something that isn't close to three years old.

I will try to beat a few of those, especially Yoshi's Cookie.

I used to have a high score listed on Twin Galaxies, for ColecoVision Q*bert. It's not that my score's been beaten, it just got removed when they changed their policies for submission (it wasn't taped or witnessed by a judge). The current high score listed (default level) is 198,695. My score was 996,320. I just haven't had the heart to play it through again and tape it, though I'm still curious to see if it rolls over at a million.

[Edit: I've done Laser Blast too, but I never bothered submitting it. Easy game to 'zone out' on for a few hours. ]

[rbudrick]

I've been able to get the max scores in Rush N attck and Contra without cheating, but I never sent them in. There'a lot of games on TG that I could send in for that I know I could tie or break the record for, but I'm too damn lazy. Yeah, I know, anyone can brag that, but really, I'm way lazier than you.

They recently (well, over 6 months ago) started taking MAME submissions for WolfMAMEPlus .101: http://www.twingalaxies.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6106

Interesting. Perhaps I will be able to break some records in my favorite SNK games.

I doubt it though, my hands aren't as quick as they used to be.
