Take a look at the high score on my BattleZone mini. I haven't checked Twin Galaxies yet, but is that considered a good score? I really enjoy BattleZone and play it often. :) My game doesn't keep high scores so those are just the scores from this evenings party, including mine.

There is at least one bug in the scoring of Battlezone. I don't remember exactly how it goes, but it is something like when your last tank is shot head on by a supertank and you kill the supertank at the same time, you get a random mutimillion bonus tagged to your score.

My answer to your question is yes. I have had a BZ mini for a few years and have not even come reasonably close to that. Great effort young man!
 
I was playing a game on my BZ last week and I got a crazy high score too. I am not a very good BZ player and my game only lasted 10-15 min. I don't know what I did to get the score I got but it was extremely high.
 
I actually posted this knowing the score was not legit (a tease). However, I have never seen the game put up a score like that and didn't know about the bug until someone mentioned it above. The game was being played tonight (party) and I noticed it after playing a game. My actual high score is in the 50-60k range, nowhere near what a good player will put up. During the party the vector lines started to move apart slightly, so I thought maybe the score had to do with that and a larger overall game problem.

Just had friends from work over a few weeks ago during lunch to play games.

One guy whose high score is maybe 30-40K started whooping it up and it turned out he'd recorded 9,000,000 something by hitting that same bug on BZ.

He honestly didn't know about the bug but he thought it was awfully funny and I ended up taking a picture of the screen for him with his initials.

Now I have to dig out the high score save documentation and find out how to clear the high score table because it's not staying on my game. :)

Before this thread, I had also never heard of it so I am glad to hear it's not something wrong with my game. Good stuff... still learning about these quirks after all of these years. :)
