Except in the default score table, I don't recall every seeing anything but '0' in the ones place. How the hell do you score single integers?
1500points:
I'm not sure what you are referencing, but here is a bit of interesting history directly from the programmer, Bill P.
"And I do remember using the default high score to indicate ROM versions. It was an easy way to identify the ROM's without opening the cabinet. I probably forgot to change the default high score when we did the Pterodactyl fix (we were in a hurry....).
I think that I constructed the score by a version and something else that I do not remember so:
High score 107212 = V1.07 ?212?
High score 109102= V1.09 ?102?" - Pfutz, May 2013

Homeboy had a score all of nines.
