Title: Official High Scores?
Post by: jck_strw on March 28, 2005, 11:02:57 am

Isn't there a list/site/group/etc. that tracks the "official" high scores for arcade games?  Someone have a link or is this something I dreamt?  :)

Thanks!

They appear to be off-line at the moment, but that's what I was looking for.  Thanks!

Similarly, is there anywhere that documents patterns in games like pac-man and the like?

You can also watch replays of high scoring games using MAME on MARP (http://marp.retrogames.com/)

All the Pac-patterns sites I have seen have the same ones, which are only good on slow Pac-Man.

I have developed an awesome fast Pac-Man pattern (clears 2/3rds of the board, Apple stage and above), but I have yet to find a way to make it clear the whole screen the SAME WAY each time, once I do I will put it out there. The pattern is good, 2/3rds of the screen cleared (and even works on pre-apple stages with one change), but it unfortunately needs about 6 different endings (cycles through them depending on how long the ghosts stay blue), but I still need to get it up to do everything except the power pellet corners and get the 2nd bonus fruit in there.
