You know that I go on about the platitudes of keeping Twin Galaxies free, but lets be honest. I only care because of the Snacks 'n Jaxson world record.  ;D

I do like that kind of thinking. It might cause some conspiracies and debates as too many people try to pick apart score attempts,  but that in itself is entertainment, and would solve a lot of problems with having to pay for a guy to watch every video.

TG went down?  Hmmm. Did Robichek get a girlfriend?....or step down or something?

Every time I've been there, to the front page, in the almost ten years I've known about it, I've by and large seen current/recent games - things I don't consider video games really - and a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin----ton of it. Especially console stuff. Plenty of kids are wanting to post scores on every little game that comes out.

I think they should 'reduce' it, and only add new scores to games before '95.  Make it mostly a Hall of Fame archive.

don't most people perceive it as a historical archive of Walter's era of gamescore keeping, anyway?

Of the various forums, I've yet to find a thread on this topic that has a positive bent.  Seems like if it isn't causing great accolades that there may be some discrepancy in the plan.

Most wise thing I've seen written is the person above that stated the price outrageousness involves pushing people to their occasional live events, ie the Kong Off series?

--->And the most exciting thing to come of all this is that any group of "players" can make their own grassroots scoreboard and immediately have fun using YT (don't forget MARP for top tier MAME playbacks, which is probably a better cross section of verifiable top tier scoring, anyway)

The coolest thing I know of is a Facebook group called the MAME event where they have weekly fun competitions on 2 chosen games.  seems to have some top level people from multiple countries having fun in the competition. that's the spirit, boyeeeeee.  :)
