there actually was one inconsitency with tapper fy. kelly tharp was forced to take a drug test for his marathon to count. i dont believe anyone before or after him did though. theres sure no way they drug tested ron or todds marathons either. so in my opinion that was a case of kelly being screwed

I was just making a point.Take Brickout ... there's 4 contestants. All played disc level. the track says "use disc". So why is this game on your list?If you wouldn't mind explaining if there's a specific problem on a specific game instead of generalizing that 9 titles on Intellivision

oh i see whats happening the good faith effort to review the decision in full context is already being abandoned now that i agreed to your proposal.
very well lets give a history lesson
the reason for the change was on a wall post of Al that seems to be delted, and was heavily edited before

This was your list that I cut and paste that you asked me to make a post for. I’m not understanding what your sarcasm is meant to imply
Intellivision Master commented on blog entry intellivision fix continued in Snowflake
I'm confused. Why do these need help?I just looked up the arcade Tapper score. There's 7 scores that are done differently; there are also very VERY specific rules that probably were not there when the other 7 played it AND there's a NEW rule that says Budweiser. So if we're going to

if we're to speculate on humanly possible i think i largely agree with rtm, though i wont be putting my money where my mouth is. munchkin i think you have to remember there were far fewer games back then so you pretty much had to obsess on just a few. i only played munchkin for a week when i got

I don't think anyone's scores are in jeopardy; I hope that the Snipercade info will be useful going forward for other future questions around rules "at the time" for older scores on classic consoles. I'm not fully in the know about the INTV rule changes but if the Snipercade info

The story is cited in the first few pages of the newsletter I linked above. Might be the same one VC? It was live Tournament so I'd imagine they'd simple start a timer and then everyone starts their 15 min run under the event rules.

15 minute time limit? so that tells me either they required video (hard to beleive back then) or it was also the honor system. also a time limit is particulrly awful to do with the honor system since even an honest person can easily make honest mistakes with timing.
this is a good reminder though

To follow up on Voodoo_chilly, I think that the source of UFO scores was this Magnovox publication called "Odyssey Adventure" - basically a company-issued newsletter that was pretty common back in the day. Page 9 lists the scores in question. Interestingly the 11,000 score is gone. Possibly
