Score for Atomic Robo Kid - Genesis was accepted and then my credibility dropped over 30 points.

No incorrect votes nor any indication as to how or why

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/vindicators/arcade

When attempting to submit a score to this track, after selecting 'Arcade' > 'Vindicators' > 'Points-Single Player Only' one would then normally enter their score into separate boxes entitled 'Score/Elapsed Time" and 'Repeat Score/Elapsed Time'.

These two boxes do not exist on this submission form.

If you fill out everything else and upload the video, after its all done uploading you get an error message; "Submission must contain score", or something along those lines.

Basically it's impossible to submit to this track. It's got a glitch.

The rules currently reads as:

"1-Player.From the game start menu, select options as follows:Difficulty (Arcade) = NormalArcade = 5 Medium.Menu - Class = AmateurMenu - Level = 0Menu - Time trial = NoMenu - BGM = Any"

There are two modes in this game, Original and Arcade. The rules as is are a mix of settings for both modes. Original mode settings do not affect Arcade mode, and likewise Arcade mode settings do not affect Original mode.

This track is for original mode.

The portion of the rules that is specific to Arcade mode is "Difficulty (Arcade) = NormalArcade = 5 Medium." This needs to be removed.

The corrected rules, with proper formatting should be updated to:

"1-Player. From the game start menu, select options as follows:

Menu - Class = Amateur

Menu - Level = 0

Menu - Time trial = No

Menu - BGM = Any"

Correct. They are "different" games on the scoreboard currently which should be combined. The tracks are not duplicates.

Subscription Folder Sorting Options


The submission queue ("Vote On Performances" forum) allows sorting on 6 individual fields:

  • Title
  • User Name
  • Start Date
  • Last Post By
  • Views
  • Replies


The fields may be sorted in either ascending or descending order.



My personal subscription folders can only be sorted on 3 fields:

  • Title
  • Thread Starter
  • Last Post By


Might I request the addition of Start Date as a sort option?

Please fix these tracks.

1) Christmas Carol vs. The Ghost of Christmas Presents https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/christmas-carol-vs-the-ghost-of-christmas-presents/intellivision
As I said in a comment when I proposed the track, I noticed that the first part of the rules is wrong because further versions of the game were actually released. Anyway, the gameplay isn't changed.

Please change the rules in the following way: «The recording may come from any known release of the game. There are no settings for the player to select, therefore no specific rules apply».


2) Mr. Puniverse https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/mr-puniverse/commodore-plus-4-c16-c116
Since **there's no score in this game**, tracks should be changed from «Points» to «Fastest completion». The score type field should be changed from «Points integer» to «Elapsed time» (Ranking method: «Lowest is the best»).

Please also add to the rules the following line: «The game ends when you collect your 25th vitamin».

Can you change the PAL titles of the tracks for Actraiser on SNES please as there is no "Normal mode" and no "Professional Mode" options in the game.


https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/actraiser/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/pal-points-normal-mode/page/1?ref=fbshare

There is a single score against the track from Ryan Genno whic uses "Story Mode - Normal" so my suggestion is as follows. This then also makes room for the other mode/difficulties.

PAL - Story Mode - Normal [Points]



https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/actraiser/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/pal-points-professional-mode/page/1?ref=fbshare

Again only Ryan on the scoreboard. As there is no Professional Mode, Ryan used this for Action Mode, Expert difficulty. So my suggestion is exactly that:

PAL - Action Mode - Expert [Points]



The following two do not have any scores.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/actraiser/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/pal-fastest-completion-normal-mode/page/1?ref=fbshare

In keeping with the above, my suggestion is:

PAL - Story Mode - Normal [Completion Time]


https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/actraiser/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/pal-fastest-completion-professional-mode/page/1?ref=fbshare

In keeping with the above, my suggestion is:

PAL - Action Mode - Expert [Completion Time]

@admin staff The following track has incorrect information in the rule set:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/congo-bongo/atari-2600-vcs/

For both NTSC and EMU tracks, the current rules state as follows:

Quote Originally Posted by Incorrect Atari 2600 Congo Bongo Rules
Select a one-player game.
Difficulty switches are not used in this game and can therefore be left in either position.

According to the official manual (and my experience), that last statement is not true:

LEFT - Selects number of lives
∙ B/Novice = 5 lives
∙ A/Expert = 3 lives
RIGHT - Select speed of the hunter
∙ B/Novice = Slow speed (easier to control)
∙ A/Expert = Fast speed

Manual can be reviewed here: http://www.ataricompendium.com/archives/manuals/vcs/congo_bongo.pdf

I have reviewed all existing reviewable records, and believe that all were played under "Game 1BB". As such, please change the following attributes: ( @Pixe Sukola you might be able to accomplish the title change part)

Track URL: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/congo-bongo/atari-2600-vcs/ntsc-points
Currently titled: "NTSC (Points)"
Change to "NTSC - Game 1, Difficulty BB (Points)"
Rules currently state: "Select a one-player game. Difficulty switches are not used in this game and can therefore be left in either position."
Change to: "Select a one-player game. Both difficulty switches must remain in the B/Novice position. (5 lives, slow speed)."

Track URL: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/congo-bongo/atari-2600-vcs/emu-points
Currently titled: "EMU (Points)"
Change to "EMU - Game 1, Difficulty BB (Points)"
Rules currently state: "Select a one-player game. Difficulty switches are not used in this game and can therefore be left in either position."
Change to: "Select a one-player game. Both difficulty switches must remain in the B/Novice position. (5 lives, slow speed)."

Thank you!

When you click view all submissions, it incorrectly says James Barnard's time is milliseconds, instead of whole seconds.
