Someone will have to do the following in order to get first or second place:
Play every level, no skips.
Beat the game.
Get a multiplier of 10 on every race.
Shoot as many enemies as possible while being accurate enough to keep the multiplier at 10.
Even if you're capable of beating the game without continuing, you can get some extra points by using those two credits and then beating the game on your final credit.
Skinny has probably already done all this and has gotten the highest possible score or close to it. Maybe Bert as well.

I estimated that to be about two million points. So I gave skinny 100,000 in a margin of error
Okay, I can't get past level 42. It's one of those low fuel levels, and I keep crashing. I run out of fuel very quickly, and by this point I'm on my last credit.
Well shit, I hope this counts cuz I had a good run! The second score in the second picture is my score on my looped run! What a marathon to get that! Also...... James Robot..... You suck dog balls for quarters and I didn't see your name in your high score pic so you aren't done asshole!

This game used to trip me up really bad, but honestly discovering the thing about keeping the score multiplier up, practically refills your reserve tank on every stage. Keeping the multiplier up helped me focus and not just blast at everything wildly.

The only real problematic stages are the later ones that start you off with low fuel. Rally 42 in particular is a huge pain in the ass and what I consider the make or break stage in the game. I'm still trying to learn it in the hopes of getting a top three score.
I don't think the mods even expected everyone to be rolling the score, hence no rules about what to do when that happens.
We totally overlooked this.
What's even more stupid is that the score rolls but the game can't keep the million mark for the high-score screen (incredibly stupid).
I trust the scores posted, but from now on, please, for those that will roll the score, try to take a picture of your final score 'in' the game so we can see on which track you ended your run. So, we need a picture of the score rolled (000,xxx with the stage at the top right), and a picture of the final score with the stage on the top right.
For those who doesn't roll the score the high-score screen is still good.

Agreed. That's what I did with my last score update because I didn't feel comfortable just posting pictures of the score being rolled and the high score screen because it would be too easy to cheat.

Indeed, that is the point, thank you for getting it. But I understand why everybody went with what the rules said and took their final score picture at the high-score screen.
Just so it is clear, all scores posted at this point are valid.

Look again, bitch! Glad you're not dead, I guess.
Playing NES again, I see. You finally done playing that Pokemom Go, shit? Cause, I poked your mom and she can't get enough of it!
The most difficult thing about this game really is forcing yourself to play it. It's the opposite of addictive.
Usually the only levels where you even have to try are the ones that don't refill your main tank much at the beginning. These levels can be a pain, but if you can get past them, you can ease through a few more levels until you have to make an effort again.
I'd say the most difficult thing is dealing with hand pain. I made it to the 7th level and had to quit. Might have to try the NES Advantage on this one.
Having to keep holding up is hard on the thumb, but I'm used to it, I guess.
Just so everyone knows, you only have to hold up to accelerate. Once you top out at 212, the car will maintain its speed unless you take a sharp turn.
also i'm pretty sure i noticed that if you finish a race with multiplier of say 9x and a score of 155,000 when you get the bonus it only rounds it up to the nearest 10,000 so in this case it would give you 160,000 instead of 164,000 but if you had 10x it would give you the 165,000
i think i saw this happen several times anyone else notice?

If someone has already rolled the score twice then I predict that skinny's score will be 2,200,000 or higher. He's going to grind this until he's grabbed every point that is humanly possible.
Fuck, I didn't get a shot in time. You don't have much time to pause (especially on 49 where you're on no gas the entire stage) and it sent me to the scores screen instead. If the mods don't want to count it then well there is nothing I can do

oh looks like it's gonna be close! And a toy too?!?! Nice
oh looks like it's gonna be close! And a toy too?!?! Nice
Yeah, but then I need two people to step up and beat you too. Although, a tie would go to last years points leader, right?

Tie goes to best average finish in the genre
Besides I'm just going to win outright

Hey guys, Toxie is streaming some play while getting pissed drunk :
Come and drop him a word!
I watched Toxie fight some ninja guy for about 10 minutes.
Did he ever beat him?

Got this score at work yesterday. Had company over last night so didn't get to try from home.

I will try to put a score up by Sunday. Week has been really busy and stressful, so no time for videogames so far.
And I have plans for Saturday, so I will only have Sunday to play, and only if my Saturday plans don't extend into Sunday.

i think i saw this happen several times anyone else notice?
I noticed sometimes I get a lil bonus in between victory lane and the begining of the "bonus" score. Anybody else?
Yes. You get a few extra hundred for some reason.

9,999 + 9x multiplier = 10,000 OUCH!
Yup, it can be brutal.
