Id love to get in on one of these competitions but my scores are down right laughable compared to what you guys put up. my high score in Qbert is like 36,000
That's not too much lower than mine. Of course, if we were doing an annual tally kind of thing, it might matter more.
Anyways, we have basic rules - no cheats allowed, default settings, etc - it's mainly on those neo kiddie games I'm guessing that have these mysterious special ways of getting high scores or whatever, and I'm not really interested in those games, so you all figure it out when those come up. If there are folks here who can't place well in MARP and hence are here to make themselves feel good, well there are terms limits.
NVRAM on Hypersports? This isn't that serious. I wouldn't worry about it. Anything that the original hardware allowed in default mode everyone is welcome to use.
And if we were voting, I'd generally not include clones or any game, let alone something like speed-hack mspac. Blech.
Anyways, okay, onward. I'll make the thread. (There might be lots of
competition on this one.)
