This is just a friendly messageboard high score competition.

The game in question is Scramble.

You must achieve and photograph your score during the competition, which runs from 9/24 and ends sunday evening September 30th. No using your old score from last year. Current and former Twin Galaxies world record holders on Scramble are not eligible to win this contest, although they are encouraged to submit a score for exhibition purposes.

Dip switches must be set to 3 lives.

Mame, real pcbs and multiboards are all appropriate platforms to play the game on. No mame cheats or modified roms please.

I have been told that the Stern version is harder than the Konami version. The 60 in 1 has the Konami version and mame has both versions.

Please post your scores in this thread. Go ahead and post your score even if it isn't competitive with the others (I know mine won't be).

Winner of the competition may select the game for the next competition. If you pick something obscure that gets no buzz then I reserve the right to replace the selection.

Darn! I shot a 163k just two Sundays ago on Sav's multi (yes, Konami)(in a Scramble spaceman cab too)... I may have to drag my ass over the mountain for another session!

Bah! Maybe I'll just have Sav take a pic of my 272k high score on it...;)

Good luck, y'all!!

I'm in! I'm not very good, I've never finished the game, though I have seen the final target once or twice.

What's the time window for this? I'll probably fire up my MAME at the weekend.
 
If it uses the mame roms then it probably defaults to the konami version.

any idea what the Phoenix board uses?

Contest ends sunday night september 30th.

What's the time window for this? I'll probably fire up my MAME at the weekend.

Please post your scores even if they aren't that great. I am only getting like 18,000 myself.

I will post - I will probably get 500 points or something ridiculous; Scramble was one of my worst games BITD and I never put any effort into it. But I love the spirit of this effort. Thanks!
 
I just scored 79,254,000.

I have no screen shot. But you can trust me.
 
I have been playing with 5 men in the past so the scores on my high score table are much higher than the 50'000. My highest with 5 men is 112,230.
 
I'll try and get in on this action. I haven't played this game in a long time but I always loved it so it will give me an excuse to play it on my MAME machine.
 
Yay, I don't feel so bad - will have to get a pic - topped out at 18K. THis game is harder than I remember from playing it on my Atari 800 (or was that Caverns of Mars???):D
 
Not sure, from the pic looks like 13 I think.
Yep, 13 times through for a 313k... 13s all around, hmmmm... Well done!

Yeah, I just have to keep it in perspective. About 4 to 5 times through for each ship. Piece O' Cake!;) I definitely have to score more pts. while going through the stages, instead of just concentrating on fuel and survival.

Anyway, hope to get some scores up over the weekend at Sav's place. AND, please tell me this 313 was on the Konami dedicated version! If so, you should really be going for the WR sometime on that very machine! Seriously. I know I would be... All I can find are Stern fast fuel versions to play. Oh well...

Good score Steve, but it ain't over till it's over! You probably have a higher 'Billy Mitchell' score pic waiting in the wings...:D
