atarilovesyou Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My two cents: get rid of the concept of Twin Galaxies altogether. Do like the UFC Zuffa organization: buy out the rights to the name "Twin Galaxes", and then promote annual 'Retro Gaming Olympics" or something along those lines. Then, the ONLY WAY to post scores is to do it live, much like Billy Mitchell stated in King of Kong. It would be awesome! And there would be no way to cheat. It could take over a weekend at Funspot. This obviously doesn't work for 'marathon' type gaming but really...you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Keep what's relevant and move on to newer things. I just finished watching that Tetris documentary (and will post later about it!), and it was fantastic not only as a doc, but in the way they organized the tournament.

Mangia-Boy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Highscore.com is run by AA member Serious. It looks to be an excellent site, but it's still very new and needs more participants. I say forget Twin Galaxies Just found this website. Very well done! ++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamakazi Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have to put my two cents worth in here. I submitted a score to TGI before it picked up new owners wanting to charge for score submissions. My score got lost apparently and I still have the two hour video I spent on a TI-99/4A beating the crap out of PSP's Burgertime score. I highly believe that Serious' high score website has all it needs to replace TGI. It's fun, it's free, and a great way to make new friends. It has also taught me that no matter how much evidence one does to prove their score that there is still room to provide more. Sometimes a little on the ridiculous side but still interesting. For tournaments I recommend AA or Retrocade Magazine's site. These are some of the best virtual world tournaments I've ever ran across. But it is to be expected to run across sore losers (I mean that in a good way) just as with any sport when their best achievement is suddenly not the best anymore. It's to be expected but is also the same reason why I love video games. There's always room for improvements and the challenge makes it fun. Not to mention that video gamers, at least on here and at High Score, are some of the best friends a gamer could ask for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 If the new Twin Galaxies will not accept archived video from YouTube, Twitch, UStream et al then I say F Twin Galaxies. I'll only submit to Twin Galaxies if they accept Internet video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Does anyone know what happened to the Retro Arcade Boards. That was a good place for scores, but it seems to have gone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I MISS YOU, TOYMAILMAN! Thanks Oyamafamily! I miss the ol' HSC, but just can't commit to doing it on such a frequent basis. My son is now 3 and my daughter is 8 months! Most evenings afterwork are spent playing with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
