I can't even get on the frickin' leaderboard of the game!!!
The game is hard as hell.
Jow, are you playing using Twin Galaxy settings? I am. Having trouble for sure getting far into the game.
I am pretty sure that record 'score' is much older.
On 6/11/2004 Twin Galaxies basically 'verified' many older unknown settings scores.
The most likely bogus 720 score is the same.
Really? If this is true, and I find it very easy to believe, then how can anyone claim that TG has any credibility at all?I am pretty sure that record 'score' is much older.

That would make me feel better.
Slightly off topic, did anyone here have the opportunity to witness any records being set BITD, I'm talking early 80s? One possible explanation is that they did not scrutinize setting back then like they do now. Back then do you think they expected to still be doing this some 3 decades later? Seems to me like setting could be an easy and logical way to explain some of these (seemingly impossible) records.
[edit] This obviously does not apply here, the record was set with referee in 2004.
Or a multi-kit? Thanks for the info.They did scrutinize settings back then however they did not disqualify people for glue in the wrong spots of the pcb.![]()
Can you shed any light into the other posters contention that a bunch of old records were entered in 2004? If this is true, it would be impossible to say for certain that TG settings were in fact followed, no?They did scrutinize settings back then however they did not disqualify people for glue in the wrong spots of the pcb.This Punch Out score is not impossible at all. I knew people who would regularly score as close to 1 million as possible. It does not really get any harder after a point.

No one said you did Jow, I merely was looking at the possibility that they are in fact tainted. They may well not be, I have no idea. If "old" scores were added en masse in 2004 (and I have no reason to think they are save for what the poster said earlier), those would certainly be suspect, no? Personally I really only care about the initials on my machines (well okay and dropping them in on other's as well). XXI21, you're #2 on my M.C. now sucka! Next time I'll have to make sure that "track ball malfunction" happens before you beat my score so I don't have to spend hours taking it down...My original post wasn't questioning the legitimacy of the scores, more being in awe that any of them were possible. I don't have the time to put into these games to be good enough to reach scores like that, and I'm amazed at some of the records that were set. Props to all of them.
There were no multi-kits or high score save kits for games back then.![]()
But there were bootlegs and alternate ROM sets which were never documented.
