    has anyone tried going for the world record for any games?

    i was thinking of going for the record with Asteroids or Space Invaders or something but before i try to even get close to achieving an outstanding record, where do i submit my high score to? does anyone have any idea?

      You should ask Nintendofan, he's posted on here numerous times about his high scores on retrogames. 8)

        I'd be interested to know the World Record for lines in Tetris...(Game Boy version)

        I can get upwards to 220 lines, but at that speed the blocks fall so bloody fast you can't even move them to the farthest side of the screen before they hit the bottom...So really it CAN'T be much higher than 220...Can it??

        Anyone have anything offical? I tried to google it the other day for the hell of it, but came back with nothing...

          Okay I didn't know about this place until tonight, but this should be a helpful site for anyone participating in posting high scores. Of course the only problem will be varification and authentification of the scores.

          Here is the one for Tetris directly:

            Thanks, but someone beat me to it. All my scores are 100% real for those who are asking me. :)

            p.s. I don't do Twin Galaxies.

                Well like I told Reaper that I keep track of them on pieces of paper & on index cards, because I don't have the money to buy a digital camera for right now. As far as the other sites goes, they don't want nothing to do with me.

                      i got my old polaroid camera set.

                      this weekend, i start training and hopefully a month from now.. i'll be climbing the ladder of HIGH SCORES for: space invaders, freeway, asteroids, or centipede. or something else.. i haven't decided yet.


                      is there a specific place to post top scores for atari games?

                        yes, i have many world records for different games listed on twingalaxies.

                        and i have some yet to be submitted.

                        http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&p=40974

                        the guy who has the tetris records is insane.
                        I now hold the world records for Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2! :)

                          i have a problem with the game FREEWAY for the atari 2600.

                          apparently its a one or two player game. for some reason its stuck on two players and i can't get it off of two players and make it one.

                          does anyone have any idea if i can change it to just be one player?

                            does anyone know where else i can submit my atari scores?


                            twin gallaxies is being somewhat weird, it wont log me in.

                            i need somewhere else, a place that accepts screen shots.

                              I don't think any place excepts just screen shots, they are far too easy to alter. But try this site.

                                  Damn, I forgot about Iron Tank, that was a great game. That was really well designed game with a simple concept, and it just worked.

                                      Curious as to high scores out there for Tetris on Gameboy.

                                      I have had 700+ lines without taking a picture, but I have a picture of-

                                          I'm more into time trials then getting high scores. One of my favorite games to get a good time in is Super Metroid. 8)

                                          And Super Punch-Out!! I set some incredible time records in that game.
