Please change the rules for the 2 tracks listed here:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/asterix/atari-2600-vcs/emu-game-1-points
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/asterix/atari-2600-vcs/ntsc-game-1-points

... and if @Barthax , @Snowflake and @nads are okay with it, this one as well, as it appears they simply adopted the incorrect language from the two existing tracks at time of track creation:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/asterix/atari-2600-vcs/pal-game-1-points

They currently read:

"Game must begin at Round 1. Difficulty switches are not used in this game.
Players begin with three Lives. Bonus Lives are scored at 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 points."

These rules are not even close to accurate. In accordance with the English* rules as stated on page 6 of the official Asterix manual here: http://www.ataricompendium.com/archives/manuals/vcs/vcs_manuals.html, they should be changed to:

"Game must begin at Round 1.
Difficulty switches are not used in this game.
Players begin with three Lives. Bonus Lives are earned at 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, 80,000, 110,000 and every 40,000 thereafter.

* The non-English sections of the official Asterix rulebook contains a typo, and incorrectly states a bonus life is earned at 100,000 rather than 110,000. The game issues the 5th bonus life at 110,000, is reflected in all other language sections in the rulebook, and reflects actual gameplay.


i just contributed points to the track, wasnt really involved with rule writing, i'm fine with whatever the other founders want.

In the track https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=237443 I have accidentally put that the circuit is a 3 lap race in the title. It is actually a 4 lap race. Could this minor but significant typo be corrected, please. (There is no 3 lap version.)

All the ones you've quoted are not new uploads. Much newer than the one I cited but they're not of the past 48 hours.

@admin staff Can we please modernize the rule set for this track?

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/dr-mario-online-rx/nintendo-wiiware/1-player-classic-mode-points-single-level/

The rules as currently listed:
"Level Start = 10 or higher
Difficulty = Med or higher
You must show the settings. Point total from a single level. If trying throughout numerous levels, please let the referee know which is the record score. May also submit a Single Level score as part of a Multiple Level score submission."

A few things are wrong with this:

1. "You must show the settings". Unnecessary. The settings are shown on the right side of the screen during the entire gameplay, including the current level and Difficulty.

2. "If trying throughout numerous levels,". This is irrelevant. All adjudicators know to skip to the relevant portion of the video evidence when there are multiple irrelevant runs contained therein.

3. "Please let the referee know..." - No explanation needed on this one.

4. "May also submit a single level score as part of a multiple level score submission." - Unnecessary. This is universally known to be an acceptable method on every game with multiple tracks.

I would recommend striking everything from this rule set other than:

"Level Start = 10 or higher. Difficulty = Med or higher".

Thank you!

@admin staff Thank you for deleting the pics for all those broken arcade links. I believe I have set pictures for just about all of them now.

If you could please delete this track. In my ignorance at the first time creating a track I accidently made two of these.

More often than not, when I view a wall post for 1) my first time, 2) has no other comments, the comments box is completely missing, and I have to reload the page before the comments box appears.

A concern: Streets of Rage for the Sega Master System

There is a NTSC track, however Streets of Rage was never released in North America.

Recommendations: The track description should state a PAL cartridge to be played on an NTSC system or the track should probably be removed. Thank you.

'Score Elapsed Time' field missing when submitting score

Hi,

Having problems submitting a score for the following:

Platform: M.A.M.E.

Game: Tinkle Pit

Track: Single Player High Score

The 'Score Elapsed Time' field isn't available to enter anything, which results in an error when submitting.

Could someone look into this please? :-)

Similarly, I managed to create some "International National B" tracks which should be simply "International B":

Thanks.


I don't know if ANY of the tracks have been corrected, but a large number have not.

GT6 variations incorrectly listed as "International National A" = 38

GT6 variations incorrectly listed as "International National B" = 44

In each case, please remove "National" from the track name.
