Response to Hisa Chan, this is for you.

Well, any score can be beaten as long as it's not fake, obviously. It just takes a lot of practice and skill. You really shouldn't say that about Tommi's statement. For instance (everyone is going to smack me for this), twingalaxies.com has a score of nearly 3 million on Bosconian, by Ken McLeod in 1982 or 1983. This, of course, on their own TG settings (lives at 20K 70K every 70K, diff hardest and no continue). Many of which had thought impossible, I asked Hisa (A Japanese player here, I'm sure you know) what the score in Gamest was. He had replied that he could not find an actual score, but other sources had stated on 5 LIVES (that's right, instead of 32 lives on TG settings or 42-43 lives on Defaults.) someone had reached level 256, as some may know as, the super speedy level. Now, it is impossible (as far as I know) to beat level 256 on any of the romsets besides bosco. The score, possibly around 6M or so he said, and I, myself, estimate a gameplay time of apporoximately 7 hours. I was truly astonished, and would like to see that done on a machine. I of course figure that the settings were on Default, but that really doesn't make a difference. I know some of the scores sound bogus, but look at most anything the japanese have done on this site and tell me it isn't. Yes, back in the day, people stated those kind of scores. When they were asked to do it again, or even attempt to, they were proved wrong. I know many cannot be asked today since they lead lives and some have also passed on, but when someone says a score today, you can only hope that it is real. Some scores are fake, for obvious reasons, but nothing can be done about a fake score. That is all I have to say on this matter. Thank you.
