Let's try this scoring system thought: In the game, you start with 0 points. Every time you save a lemming, you get 1 point. Every time you have to continue a game, you lose 10 points. When your score goes BELOW zero, the game is over. Any time you are forced to repeat a level (which includes the super-nuke), your game is also over. Your MARP score will be: 10 points for each lemming saved. 100 points for each stage completed. -50 points for each continue used. So in essekappa's case, I approximatly guess he finished 72 stages saving 1600 lemmings in 105 credits. So his score would be (72 * 100) + (1600 * 10) - (105 * 25) = 7200 + 16000 - 5250 = 17950 What do you think about this thought? GB9(posted 8703 days ago)Actually, it's (72*100) + (1600*10) - (105*50) = 7200 + 16000 - 10500 = 12700.
If we take out the continue penalty, but change it to a per-credit average, it becomes:
((72*100) + (1600*10)) / 26 = (7200 + 16000) / 26 = 23200 / 26 = 892 (roughly).
By the other scoring system listed there, the score is: 1600 - 25*10 = 1350 (or, doing a per-credit average instead of a penalty, 1600 / 26 = 61).
