What arcade world record do you think you could get?

Someone (I forget his name) is going for the Q*Bert record right now at Richie Knucklez place and it is streaming. He's at 20 million right now.

It makes me have to ask the question: With it said to take about 70 hours to beat the current record, what does the dude do when he has to take a dump? Or even just take a leak? Can you stockpile enough guys where you could walk away for 5 mins or more to take care of business and come back and still be in the game?

George leutz and yes the game keeps awarding free men so he could take a quick nap probably as well.
 
Space Zap

I have the MAME WR at 260,000 and have scored 230,250 (would put me in 2nd) on my Space Zap at home. 1st place is 235,00. I've now started recording each session at home so that when I do break it, I can submit it to TG.
 
I can tell you right now after trying to get a single game added because of my high score, I do not trust TG at all. I have been trying since April 2009 to get them to even add a game for me, and then put my record in.

The game is Steep Slope Sliders. You can do a youtube search for world record runs and find my run. In a game with no dipswitches, no difficulty settings (unless you count playing it in Japanese where the scores per level are lower), they still refused to add the game since I could not track down a dedicated cabinet for it.

Yeah, I would love for anybody on klov to track down even a picture of a dedicated cab, since I have never seen one.

After trying for multiple years, I sent the new arcade judge an e-mail through their website awhile back, and have not heard back, so I have pretty much given up entirely on anything being valid within TG. Apparently there was also some debacle with an older judge and adding scores and stuff (I do not have the details right now, but I am sure Google can dig up that dirt).

Walter Day seems like a cool dude, but the people under him for arcade games are not much help at all. Yes, this is a partial rant, but I have been dealing with TG since April of 2009 and have gotten nothing but the cold shoulder from those guys, so it only makes sense that even the mention of TG puts a really sour taste in my mouth.

Back to the games, with Steep Slope Sliders, you can watch that video and see what I have hit. The bad thing is that I was playing it later and not recording, and beat that score. If you want to know the average score that is pretty much expected, watch that video and before each level, it will say the points it expects you to get. The game seems to expect me to get somewhere around the 10,000 range or less to make it through the game, but I am up in the high 40k to low 50k range. I bet if I started playing that a crap load, I could hit 60k. I would need a near perfect run where I hit every single trick spot perfect, but I know it is possible

First, Walter Day is not associated with Twin Galaxies any more.

And what does acceptance of your score have to do with "trusting" Twin Galaxies?

There are things you are not saying here.

What exactly did you ask, and what exactly were you told by Twin Galaxies?

Twin Galaxies does not require you to have a "dedicated" cabinet for any game, but the controls are important.

If you have this game, what kind of cabinet is it in? (Post a picture).

This is TRUE. Some games you can play in a JAMMA cab using an adapter.

SegaAges.......Your best aproach to TG would be to present them with any documentation you have for the game, this makes it easier for a ref to document the rules of play (if any) Yeah...as Mr Harris said, something is amiss here, and yes, TG take a long time to reply to emails sometimes...that's if they reply at all, as you have found out.

Well, I have the MAME records for Tower of Druaga, Trio the Punch, and Wonder Momo... and dedicated machine-wise I have broken the Raiden II world record by more than twofold multiple times in VA Beach, I just need to get a cab so I can record/verify it. Sadly, I cannot find one.

I'm also working towards the Blazing Star WR... though they aren't accepting machine records right now, the MAME record is 2,368,420 and I've managed to hit 1,900,000 a few times on my cab, so I'm working on that one right now in anticipation of them finally adding it to the "normal" machine list... if I do break the WR on my cab though I'll run and do it in MAME too :D

Raiden II was a record I was trying to get documented as well, but sold the cab before I got the logistics worked out...Ironic that you say Blazing Star as that was another one of my favorite games to play and owned it in a basterdized neo joust conversion! I spent a ton of hours on those two machines and SERIOUSLY regret selling the Raiden II :-(
