The arguments have been made, the decisions have been made, the scores are now gone.

Something for interested parties to consider but this would take a LOT of time and effort to thoroughly investigate.

I saw something interesting on a recent column ...

Thought I'd get an official "Bounty" on the books before the "2010's" come to an end. But I need some advice on the "when" as far as payment goes (see below) otherwise

I am offering $50.00 to the first submitted score in accordance with current TGSAP policy ...

The controversy never ends !! More than two decades before "King of Kong" aired, and almost three decades since the "Big Purge" played itself out on the TG forum, top DK players are looking back at the biggest cheater of all time on "Donkey Kong".

His friends know ...

This question is mainly for "SincerelyFranny".

I just noticed the following moments ago when checking out the leaderboard for the Sega Dreamcast title "Crazy Taxi".

There are several individual variations that no longer have a 1st place record holder. I've provided ...

I was just re-watching this awesome trailer when the voice of the female character seemed all-too familiar to me.

Does anyone else know if it's Lucy Lawless doing the voice ? It sounds amazingly similar.

One final post for me now that I've spoken my peace within the extension of the "Billy Dispute Thread".

Twice today when I made a post to this thread I saw a TON of text appear on the screen once I hit submit. I missed capturing it the first time but snagged it now.

Has anyone ...

Can someone please launch a score challenge for me...I do not have sufficient "cred" points with which to do so.

The score is my own...MAME "Puckman" of I think 398,440. I finally obtained the INP back to watch my old (and semi-successful) patterns and to share them with David ...

Once again US elected officials are blaming video games as the cause behind mass-shootings. Anything to divert from the fact that time and time again when these unfortunate situations happen a never-ending cycle occurs...and the real sources behind these senseless shootings are never addressed.

How do you "invert" the up/down controls for MAME so that moving the mouse up makes the cursor go up (and moving it down makes the cursor go down) ?

I haven't played an analog game in years and forgot how this is done.

Thanks !!

Makes you wonder what kind of living h*ll that TG admins would have if players were allowed to create fastest completion tracks for all 2 million plus of these levels, never mind how utterly out of control the submission queue would be !!

On the PLUS side with average performances all likely ...

Is this something brand new ? For the first time an ad popped up when I clicked on a score to adjudicate.

I saw the following pic posted on a friend's Facebook wall, and amusingly the first and only thought that came to my mind is how the following video would sound if such were the case !!

I think it would be a pretty cool idea if the original devs (hindsight) thought of programming perhaps ...

I was reading a CNN.com article on the latest "Zelda" sequel and while it does look nice and all, I do long for the days of the freshness and expanse of the original offerings for the franchise, the classic NES original and then the SNES "A Link to the Past", and I'll make an ...

Just asking if anyone has the time to update the following thread. I might be able to do so later in June during a vacation but that's up in the air for the moment.

There's another somewhat related ...

Over the years this topic has been discussed and debated extensively. I remember a few years back discussing five TG records that may stand the test of time and that list has since changed.

I also read on the IVGHOF site relating to the list of 2017 nominees discussing Mike Klug's "Pole ...

Now if this isn't hypocritical I don't know what is.Apparently I just received an E-MAIL indicating that I am a nominee for the 2019 IVGHOF Hall of Fame, something I neither asked for nor want, BUT more importantly I should fail the so-called "Code of Ethics" with flying colours.

Did something screwy happen since last night with respect to the submitted scores section of the site ? This is what I see below.

Last year on a whim I compiled a list of the "TGTS" records that I was aware of...records on titles that were generally either "marathonable" or conducive to long-play.

Not sure how well this enclosure will show up, but I'm curious how many of these have since been beaten.

...

Has anyone played the game "Limbo" before ? I was not aware of the title until just now.

A very interesting puzzle game, it is played (from what I have seen so far) entirely in black and white, and as far as the character that you control, all you see is the dark outline and two spooky ...

How do you go about adding a variation to an existing platform/title combination ?

I looked into the Info/Help Tutorials and it indicates to click "Propose New Tracks" under "Scores and Ranks" but no such button seems to exist.

It's easy enough to create a brand ...

I'm sure that a good number of us will see this film at some point as it is arguably one of the most anticipated film sequels of all time, even more so than a "Star Trek III: the Search for Spock" was when the possibility of the deceased "Mr Spock" character coming back was clear. ...

I did some research this year into the popular brand "5 Hour Energy Drink" as I know a few people in gaming who rely on this to keep themselves awake especially when marathoning...plus one or two co-workers who also make this part of their daily diet.

My research is on two parts...first ...

There is an interesting article which chronicles the since-removed scores of Billy Mitchell which appears on the one year anniversary since the TG ruling.

It is very well-written and covers all the bases, definitely worth the time to read.

"Canyon Bomber" (arcade/MAME) has been "beaten" by a few people already...reaching and finishing the 4th stage while dealing with a computer opponent that gets 3 fresh "misses" per stage. One gamer that I know of (Fred Pastore) even did it without a single miss until he ...
