High Scores Update

high-scorezThe High Scores have been updated with Cloudscout’s most recent achievement on Jr. Pac-Man for the 2600.  It was accomplished with an original 2600 controller no less! I also added a couple more of my own scores for Gorf and Space Fury on the ColecoVision.  They’re pretty low so hopefully someone will want to challenge the score.  I’d love to see some Pac-Man CE scores recorded in here too. If anyone needs access to the spreadsheet just use the shoutbox and one of us with access can grant it to you.  As soon as I get home tonight, I’ll upload my video where I set the Tron score and then I’ll post my score on the spreadsheet as well.  I know there has to be a couple of awesome unrecorded scores in our group…

Twins Separated at Birth?

Not exactly.  More like one baby was born then the other lizard baby was born seconds later, killed the human baby and took its name…  No, that’s not it either.
