I told my dad about the new competition idea and asked if he wanted to try out. He said no, but suggested we try to play some Centipede as he always had the high score for that at the arcade when he was younger. So I did it. It's hard to play with the controller stick, but when I discovered it could also use a trackball, I switched and it was much easier...

Explain please?

I dunno, I just cut-pasted from Twin Galaxies... I guess theres some kinda ingame exploit that if you get caught doing it you're high score is disqualified.

Well since I can't find anything on it (been looking at Google for an hour) I guess it can't be that well known anyway. :)

EDIT: Found it.

Lol that's insane. I browsed through the other strategies on that link too. Who does that stuff?

@ Hansolo,

thank you for using my suggested layout when creating a hi-score thread. I think this definitely will create a clean and fair hi-score competition :)

I noticed my "Rules for submitting you hi-score" thread is integrated in the general "Hi-score competition" thread as a seperate post. I can live with that -_-

This is an updated link to the rules-post: http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12699-hi-score-competition/?p=102755

The link in your post#1 is not working right now. Please used this new link :)

I'm really excited the competition is getting started !

Game On!

is this still on going or remnants of the "May Comp" Thread?

Han and me are discussing about a leaderboard and scoring-system. So there is a pretty good chance you will be awarded points when you have a top 5 hi-score position on a game :) Centipede included!

Happy hi-scoring!

This was never part of any official competition. When we first started, we were just making up game threads with a table of scores. Then we decided to put the games to a vote and just compete on 1 specific title per month. That way we wouldn't suddenly overwhelm the forum with lots of games all at once to be playing towards. You can still offer high scores and we'll update them to the tables. It's just not an "official" May game. I say "official" in quotes because we're not official by any means. It's just the idea is to spend more time playing 1 game instead of trying to beat scores on a bunch at once. :)

I think this is still part of the discussion we're having in the thread "Hi-Score Competition - A Question for Draco".

@Rtkiii > we'll come up with our final discision in a short time > wether or not more games will count for our Hi-Score Leaderboard. We'll come back to you as soon as possible.

Happy hi-scoring :)

Nice score! Good enough for 2nd! Already updated the OP. And you're exactly right. I look at this as a way to not only have a friendly competition, but to also relive the excitement of the old games. Who knows, we may get a newer game eventually. But for the most part, it's about enjoying the games we miss in the arcade and submitting our own personal best for others to try and beat on the own without the need to travel to that specific bar. :)

I accidentally put in the wrong Initials so if you do not want t count this it is fine. 27,906

I dunno.. sounds kinda fishy.. lol it's cool. I did that on another game we haven't been playing. My true initials are AML, but I started using HAN so you guys will know it's me. No biggie. I'll update the OP!

And the whole HAN thing is actually kinda fun. I can picture in a future Star Wars movie the main character going into the Mos Eisley cantina and seeing a Star Wars arcade game there, and if you pause the movie at just the right frame, you can see that all the high scores were set by a mysterious stranger named HAN that nobody can beat. :)

EDIT -> And with that score, rtkiii takes the lead!

Here's what I got, 20381. I hate those spiders and not having a trackball on my CP makes it sorta difficult.

Yeah I think I need to tweak my mouse settings. It's either too fast or not fast enough. Good score celly! Updating OP now!
