I don't follow this stuff, but Twin Galaxies deserves zero respect after this. To be considered a reputable organization and not even question scores like this

To be considered a reputable organization and not even question scores like this is laughable. And there were multiple this absurd.

Many of their arcade "high scores" for lesser known titles are easily broken by someone practicing for less than a week, but happen to be long held by TG regulars, with hundreds of "high scores".
- hanasu 9y agoTo be fair, many of those games are rather uncommon and may just not accessible for public play by anyone. TG arcade scores must be done on original hardware. So some scores are a testament to rarity more than anything. Particularly on the MAME (emulator) side of arcade scoring - on a previous incarnation of the TG website, the rules for submission to a game were not public until a score had been submitted for that game. Some folks with many high scores were simply submitting any score at all so that others could even play along.
