2009 High Score Assassination Contest

[joz]

The Rules
Beat a high score from 2009 and you will automatically receive points in this contest.
You can find old high scores on this list Oldest High Scores
You will receive 1 point for every day old the score is. Example if the score was set 900 days ago then you will receive 900 points.

The reason for this contest:
We have the ability to verify that any score set after June of 2010 did not use any cheating. There are a couple thousand first place scores that were set before that date. Most of those old scores are legit but a few of them did cheat or otherwise break the rules. Also there were different score rules back then that are in conflict with some of the modern rules.

We don't want to just delete all of those scores but we also don't want people competing against what might not be a legit score.

So I am creating this contest to see which scores seem impossible and which scores we can assassinate.

Since these old scores can't be verified, if no one beats these score and it looks like a rule of some sort could have been broken, then the score will be deleted.

The prize:
Whoever has the most points will receive this traveling badge next to their username The final winner will receive $20 or a USB Sega Saturn Boomerang PC Controller.

Taz Mania The Search for the Lost Seabirds

I beat the score for the NES version of Joust.



I'm in shock, the NES port of the game is harder than the aracde version, for the all of the wrong reasons.
Depending on what you're trying to do, your ostrich will handle like an eagle on crack or a flying whale.

Can a GM/Kong give Omega his badge please?

thanks

[Seahawk]

Did that shooting game Sol-Deace.



Not too bad of a game, but the developers should have thought about the colors and sprite flicker a bit more.

[CrispyChicken]

Nice job Hawk.

Tails winning I think.

Fun 'n' Games

This game is awful.

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Second Samurai, The - Highscores

Got to call farming on this one to be honest. WB's on level 2 and has 8k more than the second place score which is on Level 3. I had about 17k at Level 3, which is about what the second place person had. Extremely easy to farm on this game.

[Dudebro]

Jeopardy Deluxe isn't very deluxe. I played like three rounds and already answers were being repeated so frequently it's just a matter of if I want to farm or not. Should we just disable/remove it or what?

I'll probably give you the credit, but I'll view it tomorrow.

Can you beat the high score without farming?

[Dudebro]

Of course I can but I'd have to actively try to not remember the answers from previous plays. That's why I gave up, it's way too easy to just farm it.

[joz]

@ ChrisP: Did you stop because you died and couldn't continue playing or because you called farming on it? Y u no have a submission for it? Forget that. I just played it and it's basically designed to MAKE you farm constantly.

@DB: If the game's that easy, then I suppose we could do that.

[Kong]

I added January through July 2009 in the first post. There are too many scores in 2009 to do them all in one post so after most of these are beat I will start a second thread for the last months of 2009. The score from both threads will be added together.

[CrispyChicken]

Peepar Time >> Nintendo assassinated!

[Enemy Ace]

There's no way to beat the hiscore on Fist of North Star. http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/1391/
Score Mode isn't activated.

[Dudebro]

That's a weird one. I'd turn it on but I'm not sure if there's a reason it's off. If it's broken you'll get credit.

[Tails]

I played it before and score mode worked.

Saying Software error.

[Enemy Ace]

Still doesn't work. Just appears a message: "software error".

I had such a badass session at NES Dr. Mario that I broke the game.

No, seriously, the game crashes at this combo.

Nice job Tails!
