Take the time to link those to their original threads. It's pretty easy.

I wish there were some way that I had any chance of getting a high score on any of these. :)  I'll enjoy watching though.

I'm working on my Robotron skills, but there is no freakin' way I'm ever going to get anything near that score!

Might be able to pull them from archive.org. What is the URL of the thread?

Dude, I thought you fergot. I wouldn't be surprised if you beat it, given how you've studied the game. I don't think I've gotten past 550k since then, and I only play it occasionally, anyway.

The original score list is a set in stone list of the original champs...the list below that is a list of the usurpers (such as yourself)...it will rotate and change but the original winners will always be the original winners...

I have updated the title of the second list to reflect this. Does that make sense?

I thought it made plenty of sense to begin with. I was trying to figure out what Ummon meant, because the first list was obviously not going to change.

Epyx.  Thanks for compiling everything up all nice.

I was also a bit confused at first like Ummon because the first list is listing the "current champ" which is misleading since the champ can't change.

Ah good point and ya that is misleading...I have re-labeled it "ORIGINAL CHAMP" and in the 2nd list it is entitled "CURRENT CHAMP"...that should clarify things. Thanks for catching that  :cheers:

Still, it says "Original High Score List", so it was obvious. "Original Champ" is better, though. I'd not even noticed the "Current Champ" heading.

About the Marps.  I've been playing a bit of Shinobi to see if I could compete with the high score (since I love that game and didn't have my cab together back then to compete).  Reading back over that thread, the high score was around a modest 100K before Destructor (who's high score on Marps is over 700K)  came in and squashed everybody with his 400K+ "just for fun" score.  Not that I think we should alter the record books, but I think that one deserves an asterix if only because he says earlier in the thread that he won't compete. 

There's no way to regulate this, but I really like the tone of these competitions in that everyone is more or less playing these games from scratch.  It's a different skill that gets tested when everyone is racing to learn the game as opposed to having someone who already knows it forwards and backwards coming in and effortlessly taking the competition.

I guess my point is, if your a pro at a certain game, it's nice if you don't crush us :).  At least for the 2 week competitions.  The longer term scores should maybe be open to everyone?

I also like the scramble from baseline when a bunch of people start at the same level.  And MARPs players playing a game they haven't played before is fine too...it was fun trying in vain to catch Quarterstringer in Funny Mouse and it drove me to liking the game and I had never heard of it before the competition.

Hopefully the MARPs guys will just continue to use their discretion (which I think they have for the most part).  What's the fun in nuclear striking your competition into the stone age...then again on the long term score list it does set a "you better be good if you think you are usurping this spot".

I do have a couple of scores at MARP (all from the Macho/Funny/Super Mouse series, which I didn't participate in anyway ;) ) I consider myself an average to slightly above average gamer...better than some, but no way world record class (even though I have a few, they're not that high on the titles. The arcade versions of the scores are alot higher) As to the ones I've won, my high on Klax was only in the 800K range before the competition (got better thanks to tips from quarterstringer and some luck), Jungle Hunt, that score isn't impressive at all, and sucks compared to people who can REALLY play it, and Ms Pac turbo, that's more of a just playing conservatively to stay away from the ghosts :laugh: Some of the other scores I can't touch (Q*bert, Robotron, Wonderboy, Ghouls N Ghosts, Galaga, Bank Panic, Defender). I guess some of us are good at some games, and suck at others, and vice versa. Don't know about the players, but that's my view anyway. :cheers:

I wasn't confused about anything, though due to the complexity of the posting, I did have to look closely to make sure which list was the one needing amendment, if it did, and it did. (Man, that score is intense. Been actually playing the game a bit lately, and not gotten over four hundred grand.)

All this talk of high scoring brings to mind one of my other ideas that got passed over initially: a general BYOAC high score board.

What happened when?


And: I proposed something. No one said anything, so I re-capped it followed by question marks.

i've finally turned over the score on robotron! somehow, i'd gotten the mistaken idea that this happens at 100M, but i've now learned by experience that it happens at 10M.

first time i did this, i was surprised by the score turning over to zero, and i wasn't recording an .INP file, so there was no way to document the momentous occasion.  :banghead:  after playing a few more levels, i decided to kill off my remaining lives, to see how many there were, and i counted 37!

a few days later, i managed both to record an inp file and to kill off my remaining lives (17) just before the score reset to zero, so i could record a high score of just under 10M.

screen shot of the high score (9,977,700) is attached, as well as zipped .INP file (for any die-hards who may want to watch the 2.5 hour game).
