I'm thinking about going after the turbo ms pac man world record for fun. Don't really want to deal with TG and submitting tapes and all but I'm pretty sure I can beat the current score of 922,810 with a little dedication. I think it would be cool to do so even if just for fun. I'm just wondering if anyone on these boards has what would be a world record score on a game if they had taped and submitted it? If so what was the score and what game?

I would definitely blow the doors off the world record for Race Drivin. I just need a cockpit race drivin, and a few days practice.
 
I've submitted everything I have done so far...I know that's not what you're asking, but if you're that good at Ms. Pac you should submit a tape to Steven Boyer; he's super cool and most of the time will have your score posted up in a week to ten days. Just read the rules; email him FIRST and ask if you can send him a tape and then do it. It would be cool to see you beat that score.
 
Not yet. :O)

I am pretty close with the hypersports WR, and I haven't really tried yet.
And Tron is my goal.

BTW I am pretty sure you can hit that Dan, GO FOR IT!
 
Dan, I would love to see your name at the top of a TG board. Record it! It would be way better than the DK MAME record. ;) Either way, I like that you're trying "just for fun." Good luck!
 
i think, subconsciously, im trying for the world record of collecting/restoring damaged cabinets. i know im not even close but it sure seems like it. i have them EVERYWHERE. i've even rented a storage unit and then upgraded that to a bigger one. ive stuffed them in the garage, the shop, front porch, back porch, living room...something has taken ahold of me and i just cant stand to see a badly damaged cab go to waste. can i submit a video somewhere for this for the world record?
 
I just broke the record for Double Dragon II - MAME, by about a couple thousand points. I should submit it.

Nooo....not my Race Drivin record! Just kiddin! I do have the record on Race Drivin, I got it at Richie Knucklez arcade. It's not the best score I've gotten on Race Drivin, I just went and played two games the day of his event. (I have the "original" track record)

I just bought a Flip UltraHD and plan on using it to smash a few world records. Price is $179.99 and add your free qualifying accessory and it will take that price off 2x's making the total as low as $159.40 shipped. Not too shabby.
 
I have the un-official world record on BOUNCER. I played it for 12 hrs straight back in the day. I'd be glad to show my skills again if someone were to find me one. :D
 
The Twin Galaxies world record on Ikari Warriors is 1,414,500 set in 1987 by Walt Price. Second place is 1,350,800 set in 2005 by David Nelson. My top score is 1,532,300. Unfortunately, this is not technically an unofficial world record, because my friend Corey has a score of 1,571,100 on the same machine, so his unofficial world record beats my unofficial world record. I could match or beat Corey's score if I could get a really good game going (when it comes to point-pressing on that game, sometimes the opportunities are there and sometimes they aren't).

I'd actually like to see Corey have the official TG record on that game though, because that's always been his game, going back to 1987 when we were 12 years old and played it down at the local laundromat. It was the only arcade game that he ever took an interest in and got good at.

I had the unofficial record on Super Punch-Out for a long time before I actually made the effort to tape a game and submit it to TG, thus making it official.

BTW, Corey also has the unofficial world record on Heavy Barrel. The official TG record is 1,494,500 set by David Nelson in 2006. Corey's score is 1,505,600, and he accomplished that within several days of starting from scratch on the game (his Ikari Warriors skills obviously helped a lot).

Not to mention the unofficial high score for Spy Hunter...

What's the deal with Bouncer? How many werre made? If not for your sig, I would have never heard of it...
 
I have beat the world record on my Stern Meteor pinball by a very, very slim amount. It sucks that the machine won't keep the score since you roll the the scoring which tops out at six digits. So the highest score the machine keeps is the score closest to 1 Million without going over.
 
Looks like I am the 10th best Marble Madness player in the world with my recent scores of 37,xxx points. For a guy like me, that's not too shabby. I haven't seen the end of the Silly Race yet.
 
officially, nothing.

unofficially:

APB (the existing score is pathetically easy to beat; I can do it EVERY GAME)

Crazy Climber (the existing score is tremendously difficult to beat, but I have done it 3 times)

HAH!

Hah...this made my day! You mean the 9 million on Spy Hunter in NOT legit?? Huh imagine that!
I've actually increased my scoring some since the record (1 million+) not that I would submit another score on Spy Hunter.
