You definitely achieved a 22,100 but I'm having trouble verifying that it was done on an original console. Can you provide any proof of this? Thanks. Very good run.
Hah good call! I can hear it.
Bummer. I figured as much. If it's just a few NO votes here and there they can go to hell they're not ruining my fun. I'd hate to see trolls en masse though.
Yeah it's been forever. A lot of it has to do with my 11mo old son. He was about 4mo old when I left work to stay home with him and because of that I basically had to pick one outlet for my gaming efforts. I've been activce at Twin Galaxies pretty consistently since then but have done a bad job putting my stuff up on YouTube which is what I usually do for HighScore.
So, lazy man's way out - I'm gonna link my TG records here and starting from now on I'll be back on the YouTube for HighScore wagon.
I'm gonna be doing a pinball event in Pittsburgh soon. Hope to have some good video footage of a couple tables.
I've never received so many NO votes in my life. What's wrong with the video at TG? Is it just that it's not right here from YouTube? Lazy people I swear.

I'll say this up front - This run is just a point-pressing squeeze. Since there's a timer it's fair game. I find a good spot on the first level to press as hard as I can. Thanks.

This DEFAULT SETTINGS track corresponds to the Episode 1, Bring Em On difficulty track, but it appears that you can play through as many episodes as you can for this track. I still just make it halfway through Episode 1 though. I had to pee and Skype into Settle It On The Screen...

The TG submission is for a 5-life score of 184,200, but this run uses six lives total for a final score of 186,900

That's a broad question - it's very specific to the rom set and version of MAME when issues arise. Some rom sets are known to not play back INPs properly on some or all versions.
Sometimes it's as simple of a goof as trying to play back an INP using one version but the INP was recorded using another version.
You can find the INP for this on my TG submission here:

Hah I got a not legit vote because "I wanted to see better evidence of the settings of the game, system, or emulator."
Is my evidence video where I show the GameCube, GB Player, GB Player disc, GameCube controller, GB cartridge, GameCube boot-up, and GB Player boot-up insufficient in any way? Sheesh...

Yup it's where I spend most of my time. Plus we had some clutch players bail on this year's team so we need to come together this year. I was too new and unconfident to participate last year but those days are over.
Run begins at 2:55 in the video. Nothing major just wanna add this to the portfolio. Played this game very few times so this is like a "Before" shot. Hope to post a six-digit score by end of 2016 (reasonable goals, people)
LOL yeah I should know better than to try and copy/paste a picture as a comment. Does it every time.
That's a long line of code...
OMG don't even need to watch it. I have watched this many times.

Thanks for putting this up! I had almost forgotten about the Tiger handhelds I had as a kid. Never had this one - looks sweet!

My best run from about an hour of streaming at work (shhhhh!) it's a slow day.

This game can eat a butt.
Looks good to me. Big run! I'll have to try this port on C64. All I've known are then arcade/MAME ports and some Namco Arcade compilations for GBA and GameCube.
Recorded using the Everplay function in iOS Crossy Road app.
Run begins at 1:42 thanks for watching!
Glad you guys both found your way over here. Peter Nadalin tipped me off to this place a while ago. I tend to put up all my pinball high scores here as well as some streamed stuff from MAME that doesn't have an INP.
Quite fun. I have a short attention span when it comes to mobile games. I check a lot out and only play a few. This one made the cut. Fast action and the difficulty curve isn't too shallow or steep.
Oh yeah I recorded this on my PC using an iOS mirroring program (not unlike Apple TV but PC-hosted) called AirServer.
Check it out it's pretty sweet. Free version doesn't let you record but the paid version is only $10 or something nominal. A little slow on the recorded video encoding once done, and it makes WMV files, so that's not ideal either but it's a significantly better solution than webcamming my mitts holding a tiny phone.
I guess if you used the free version you could just mirror it on your PC and do a Screen Cap recording using OBS or something - but I haven't tested that and my PC isn't strong enough to do both. Or you could mirror it and webcam the mirror monitor using a second PC. Ok that's all...

Pretty sweet I was just playing Qix on GameBoy two days ago. Great game model. Kind of a knockoff but did you ever play PC Jezzball? Similar model but some different game play.
I've been dabbling with older PC pinball games lately. Played Microsoft Pinball Arcade yesterday and they have Baffle Ball on there. I go into it knowing I don't have flippers and hoping to try my luck enough to get a good score. Never. Never. Hate it. Ugh.
Back up and lookin' good. Great watch!
Hey Spacey where'd the video go at? I trust you my friend but I want to watch this one! Is it recorded at RU?
UPDATE I just visited my parents for Easter and I was able to bilk them out of their "old" desktop PC. Two major perks - functioning soundblaster and WinXP OS which does a pretty darn good job of running Wolf3D and other DOS games. Woot!
Hi all - note that my initial card BTS is visible on the bottom left of the back glass. This is my best indicator that it was me who achieved this score (aside from taking video footage).
RIP Soundblaster - I played this game called A-10 Tank Killer constantly and the sound of the plane's main gun firing will forever be tattooed on my brain.
Also you should budget quite a bit of time for PAPA HQ if you're coming this way. I'd give it a whole day and you might not get to hit everything you want still.
They had a couple smaller events going on - I'm not sure if that's why it was open or if it usually would be. Either way I got the idea that they like having the traffic before the main events because it's like having free table testers around. They are able to identify those out of order a lot faster.
First table shows the start of what is "3 Balls Per Game" I need to do a better job of capturing proof for the 3-ball games. Since it's kind of the modern standard I only remember to take note when it's a 5-ball table.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
First time play on this one. Kinda boring. Plenty of ramps.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
Love this table.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
This table reminds me of the previous generation tables where you don't have flippers. I maybe hit the ball a dozen or so times in the five balls I played.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
Room for improvement. This table has some easily unlockable modes that I wasn't able to fully capitalize on.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
Nifty alternate play field where you have to score a goal using a single flipper at the top. Quite fun.
Achieved at PAPA HQ on 3/19/16.
Classic table! Two sets of flipper buttons on each side, one to work the alternate play fields and one to work the mains. This is actually the first time I played it in real life. It's excellent.

This is a fun table I loved it.

First image shows my score with the fourth ball light lit up and second image shows final score of 538,500pts.
I'm going to submit a 5-ball score of 538,500 points today and on the original machine the two fixed zeroes definitely display as the last two number places in the score box.
Hey I think you should resubmit this with the score of 342,300 points.
The two fixed zeroes are part of your score. I just played this one this past weekend.
I'm actually trawling through my old DOS game archives now looking for other games with a score. There really aren't that many.
Final score at 43:40 when I lose the first life. You get a bonus life every 40k and you can have up to 9 lives on reserve so the potential to marathon this baby is very high.
At my rate on this run, it'll take over 3hr to get 500k. That's not too bad but I could be a little faster if I was able to get 100% on items and secret every level. Man I love this game.
Yes! Highscore.com just added Wolfenstein 3-D to the database!
This is a one life run (all I had time for on my lunch break today) so expect a full run soon. I'm hoping to raise awareness here about this new title being added to the database. Bring on the competition - this is a classic!!!
Oh the game play starts around 7 or 8min with software settings shown the minute or two before that, and a brief greeting and explanation of the use of DOSBox emulator at the beginning.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Frankie! Hitting the gold nugget at a certain point is worth 500K or 1M depending on what's activated. I'm still not 100% sure how to work it, so I just hold out as long as I can until I trip it the right way :)
Hardware shown at the beginning (GameCube with GB Player) and console boot up to immediately follow. Submitted run begins at 25:30 with final score screenshot around 39:00 for a total of 2,061,400pts.

That controller is in terrific shape! Good to have when playing the emulator - very nice!
Mr. Felix! Good run! This game isn't even tracked on TG yet. If you propose it I'll fund it.
Kudos. Nice setup too. I.... hate this game.... Nice run though!
Initials entered at about 11min the video runs long - I was recording the title screen loop for a good 10min before I realized the playback was finished. It felt like a longer run at the time :)
For further information on this rom set and version of WolfMAME:
1942 was renamed to 1942a around version 0.124
I will always use version 0.106 because I'm lazy and have no grief with it.
So, I used rom set = 1942. If you wanted to compete on this leaderboard using a MAME version 0.124 or later, you'll want to use 1942a.
I have a .txt file of the vast majorit of rom set renames so if anyone's interested in it, I can email it to you. It can get confusing without it if you start really getting into MAME submissions.
Thanks for watching and voting!
SWEET! I'm definitely dabbling with this game again. Great run btw also I respect full video footage. I've never made it to Lieutenant.

Noice! Seriously love this game just started playing it again a few months ago. This run looks legit to me. I always respect video evidence and try to include it wherever I can (so far some pinball scores are only pics but those are the only ones) so keep it up!
Yeah! The track existed with NO competition on it last year. Zero. And the WiiU is the only modern console I have so I was itching to start participating on TG with it. So me and one other guy went back and forth a couple times raising the score but the challenge died off and I never improved on this score.
You should join TG! Give me some competition on this one! Currently there's only a track for Classic Mode but I'd guess Time Attack could be trackable too. Hardcore mode is just like Classic but with one life instead of 3 I'm pretty sure.
Galaxian forever! It's probably the only machine I'd be willing to buy and upkeep in working order at this point. I'd love to have lots of machines but I'd actually care for this one...
Just played this game for the first time today (taking a break from a competition) and it's pretty cool. This score will improve - this is the product of about a dozen runs on this game. Only one run in this video as it's an INP playback of my performance today.

UPDATE I tried that .EXE and it works just fine. No virus was detected and I was playing Pinball in a matter of seconds. Get it!

This isn't where I got my copy of the .EXE but it seems legit. I can't recall where I got mine.
For real - I did a dance when I realized I could still install and run this on my PC. So many PC games I've tried to revisit and they don't run on anything anymore.
I see this got one Not Legit vote. Please let me know, if you care to, what could be done to further prove the legitimacy of this run.
Thanks Paul! It'll get bigger this is one of the few games that I think I can marathon for big points.
Hah I thought there was a restart in this video since the run starts at 3min but I'm just struggling to get the cart to work for 3min. There's only one run in this video after the struggle.

When I realized spelling NINTENDO was a 40k point bonus, I nearly pissed my 8yr old pants. Then yeah controlling each new type of car is tough. I've only played the three types seen in this attempt.
No prob thanks to Mr. Chambers for taking the time to make the video. Also you've got my vote on this - nothing I saw was incosistent with standard gameplay. Nice work.
Thanks Derek! Appreciate the insight on that and yes it was a very prompt vote. I'll consider saving my breath next time :P
For this particular MAME run I have the INP and WLF recorded should anyone like to see it as proof of this performance's legitimacy. This was one I submitted to TG so I needed to record INP/WLF.
If anyone feels that this performance is not legitimate, please use this comment space to request further proof before voting it as illegitimate.

I definitely trust and give the benefit of the doubt. I'll compare some gameplay tonight when I'm home to reassure that trust.
The Everdrive can in fact utilize Game Genie codes. Here's an Everdrive vid I saw on TG: https://youtu.be/GnuYYkaOYwA
Not sure what default settings are but this is MEDIUM difficulty with 3 lives starting and extra man at 20k. I'm playing in WolfMAME v106 and the difficulties for MEDIUM and HARD are switched. I'm at least confident that 3 lives and 20k extra man are defaults.
I'm gonna be that guy... how do we know no codes were used with the Everdrive if we don't see it boot up?
Yeah only stuff I've got on my Twitch feed right now (easily exported to YouTube) I'll have to go to my PC at home and upload some local files to YouTube to get any more. Thanks!
