Submission Message
Fun fact: When I was 6 or 7 years old at a kid's birthday party in Dubai they actually had this arcade game there... and I played it declaring that I was the world champion before getting destroyed at the first screen.
Now I would make that 6 year old self proud. Of course this will likely go on my rebreak list since... well, obvious a hell of a lot better can be done, and I still wonder what the people at MARP are doing to get such massive scores.

Ahahahh! I already rebroke my own record by over 100K. I will still try to go for a 1CC before resubmitting it. I realize the way the MARPers won is because this game loops endlessly after you finish stage 5 (which I nearly finished on my last run).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Shark
Piloting a biplane, the player takes out enemy land, air, and naval craft across various environments. Certain waves of enemy airplanes produce bonuses when shot down, such as powerups, point bonuses, and extra lives. Each stage begins and ends at a runway, and every time the player lands at a runway beyond the first takeoff, the amount of bombs multiply 3,000 points to the player's total score. The player gets three bombs at the start of each stage (or after death). The game has five stages and then it loops from stage two indefinitely.

Human interpretation:
Time calc: 15:00:09 + (50003 frames ÷ 54.877858Hz @ 100% [15:11.17]) = 15:15:20 vs zip mod 15:15:20 [please allow for timezone differences]
