Dude I have to ask, howcome you aren't on that site??? ? You are breaking records all the time!!!! ? The level 1 record on Twin Galaxies is 14,260. Your skiing skills alone would get you 25-30 records..... Edited December 24, 2020 by Rickster8 Wording 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) My scores are all documented here, they're official as far as I'm concerned. The ice trek world record is over 34k, I'm not even half of that. I tied the skiing downhill world record, not sure if that can be beaten. Skiing records at lower slopes are really meaningless. You guys probably didn't have the skiing cartridge as kids otherwise you'd be challenging for records too.

Rick and I think if you were to record videos of your scores, you could claim several world records on Twin Galaxies. Just gotta take that extra step to do it.

You guys probably didn't have the skiing cartridge as kids otherwise you'd be challenging for records too. I had the skiing cart as a kid, but I maxed out in the HSC (35.4 downhill). I should have had 106 on the slalom but I brainfarted on a great run and missed the final gate, but that still wasn't even close to your times. And I agree, for some reason Twin Galaxies felt the need to put every single slope on both courses up so this one dude got all 30 records which is stupid.... You also have to have pristine discs to do superbly in skiing I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they are documented, but this site while fun, isn't recognized as 'world records'..... Twin Galaxies is.... You would SMOKE alot of the records there, no doubt.....

mr_me Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) There are obviously records on twin galaxies that are not world records. Just as olympic records are not necessarily world records. I think the control problem with skiing is more the programming than the physical controller. You have to be both good and lucky to get that downhill time. Lucky in that you get a run without a control glitch. The slalom course is longer so a glitch is inevitable. I have that record by a fair margin. Edited December 24, 2020 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if someone said I have the Twin Galaxies record it would be more palatable..... Edited December 24, 2020 by Rickster8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be people out there that are incredible at these games but never recorded any videos of them and don’t submit scores to any site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 In a lot of cases the twin galaxies record is the world record but not so in ice trek or thin ice. Unless there is some way to exploit faults in those games we're not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat the Star Strike 'world record' at TG, not sure what level. Your Vectron record SMASHED the 'world record' on TG Astrosmash, Biff would crush whatever is there on TG You tied the downhill record and SMASHED the slalom 'world record' in Skiing I currently have the Maze A Tron record on TG but it's at the disc level I currently have the Dracula records on TG, but Matt has a higher medium level score here Matt's River Raid score here beats the 'world record' on TG Matt's Dreadnaught Factor scores here are the best I've seen Biff's Frog Bog score is the best I've ever seen, 660 I believe? Spartan's Deadly Disc score here beats the 'world record' at TG Matt's Worm Whomper score here beats the 'world record' at TG Matt has the Shark Shark record at TG Biff's course 1 and my course 2 times in Auto Racing SMASH the 'world records' at TG I have the Space Armada record at TG. I see you are a big Space Hawk guy, the world record at TG is 13 million+, the guy played it for 17 hours straight..... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If you want to prove yourself at intellivision the place to do it is now the atariage HSC, thanks to you guys. And I know there are some top players here that aren't even playing. Space Hawk is a marathon game; and pausing is not allowed with world records. Unfortunately, I can only play short games. Maybe one day I'll go for the space hawk and deadly discs records. Wasn't sure about thin ice and ice trek but it turns out the play time is short and works for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, that's where Vali ALWAYS dies. He either freezes his ass off or falls in the water to an icy death, but make no mistake this is ALWAYS the screen where he buys the farm... ? 10,490 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
