For all you "Arcade/mame-highscore-junkies", me included 100% :

Twin Galaxies International Scoreboard is back online! Sweet and looking good.

The website is still under construction but looking very good. I hope when everything is finished you can also browse by platform...but I'm excited!

As some of you know, over the recent months, Twin Galaxies has been going through some rough times and has been offline now for several months.
However, there is a new caretaker and that's promising news !!

Read the full letter here

Some interesting quotes from this news letter:

Will Twin Galaxies be charging for score submission?
No. As long as Jace Hall is the Head Custodian and Caretaker of Twin Galaxies, Twin Galaxies will never be charging for score submissions or adjudication ever again. Period.

and...

Twin Galaxies has always seemed to focus on classic arcade gaming over everything else. Will the new era of Twin Galaxies be more inclusive of other gaming platforms and communities?
Yes. The new era of Twin Galaxies has the full intention of covering player achievement on all video game platforms and game types. We believe that Twin Galaxies ultimate mandate and responsibility is to provide a complete and comprehensive platform of official recognition for all video game players across-the-board.

Important decisions by this new caretaker. Charging for submissions and focusing too much on purely Arcade (non-Mame) was the downfall of (the old) Twin Galaxies !!

Good times ahead

(btw: thank you Han for letting me know about this update)

Heh I was about to say "HEY! I was the one that saw it's updated and reopening soon!" But then you added me in your little (note). It's all good. I checked there once a month to see if they were back up so I could get the correct settings for our High Score Competition. I think it's a great that it's coming back and hopefully everything will work better for everybody.
