This didn't age well.
In David Nelson’s defense I don’t think many fake scores got through under his watch

I know of one referee that set a new low on accuracy while David Nelson was Chief Ref. Just like every other era, the this has nothing to do with abilities of the Chief Ref of the day. In this case it was that referee's aim for high quantity throughput (and, IMO, ego thereabouts) - multiple of my own TGSAP corrections are a result of this one individual.
Haha that guy. Ok you got me more people in charge should’ve seen his shenanigans but I still feel overall the mass fake scores were from another time. But point taken. We also saw the world through the eyes of scores we care about more. For me that guy offends me by using his knowledge of what was soon to be grandfathered too quickly sneak in a bunch of inaugural world records no one would be allowed to compete on

This! :D Damn, I just don't get the hyper-hype over garbage characters like Mario and Sonic (urgh, Micky Mouse worse). Nintendo/Sega produced numerous pieces a low budget garbage but because that garbage carries a recognisable character: mass appeal and people care oodles that I don't give a flying ... .
Lots of 1sts to be surpassed: what are you waiting for? Play the game, submit the score...
