Great, thanks again.

There are still a few more pages of the hi-score forum I want to go through to make sure we have everything, but that should be about it for scores listed on this site. If anyone has any scores for games not listed or better scores for the ones already here, please share.

Gun.Smoke

World: NFC Zeus - 4.520.600 - ALL

Gunsmoke is a useless game for hi-score, because have infinite patterns and multiple bugs. In a old magazine I found some scores for 20.000.000 pts +.

No worries, you're doing a good job

PS: could you add Another Chronicle behind Darius Burst, peeps could get mixed up with the PSP version

Chaos Field is out-of-date

You only need to loop Zero Wing 3 times to counter stop? wow, what kind of broken scoring trick does the WR use? I know the MD version has that silly final boss milk, is that possible in the arcade version too?

This was discussed on page 1 already. Quoting myself:

Yes, the same leeching is possible, if you win a 10up item. However 10.000.000 isn't a "counter stop" but only "achievement". Real Counter Stop in this game is 100.000.000.

Was searching for something else and I inadvertently ran into this:
http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~slunk/GAMES.pdf
It's a bit old but it might contain a few missed records... or possibly just Rapid Hero. Also I believe the correct on-forum record for said game can be found over here.

Rapid Hero is a infinite pattern game, no world record.

New score from Yusemi in DFK: 1.088.377.613.719.

Amazing that he's still working on this game, although I've heard it's his favorite.

There were some other new scores for DFK, DFK BL, and a new DOJ score from Halford in the new Arcadia, but I couldn't take any pics of the magazine and there was no other reason to pay the 1150 yen...so I'll just have to wait for someone else to share them when they have the time.

The DDP series seems to see the most movement in terms of Cave high scores, partly because there are so many of them, but also I think they're so hard that maxing out their scoring potential takes ages.

has anyone seen any scores for mushi 1.5?

maybe someone in japan could check the scoreboards at hey! or something?

id love to see what the japanese players are cranking out of this for the different modes..

What does this mean? Is there a bug where an infinite pattern spawns? Any details on this?

I'll check next time I'm out, but I remember a week or so after it came out scores in Original mode were already in the hundreds of millions.

OMG so close to 2 tril...
This game is insane.

Some other (non-CAVE) Arcadia scores from the past few issues I have:

Seisou Kouki Strania

マッキさん - Strania, Hard - 16,404,210
AFO - Strania, Expert - 16,319,480

TZW-ART - 226,305,450 (shot type & item count not specified?)

Strikers 1999

I didn't include scores for games that weren't already in this list or for games that no one in the West plays. If anyone is interested in scores for Darius Burst Another Chronicle EX, Senko no Ronde DUO, KOF Sky Stage, Shooting Love 2007, or Desert War then let me know.

Much appreciated, thanks!



Hmm, it'd be good to still list these, I think (although maybe not Senko no Ronde as it's not really a shmup). For Darius Burst, I just need the highest score of all the modes listed. Thanks again.

Many arcade games (also shooting) not have a official world record (no Gamest / Arcadia score) because there are some bugs or infinite pattern. However after 10 years of research, I found some scores of this category with a specific comment from the player "no infinite pattern use". Some exemples:

Area 88: best score possible with all clear is about 1.800.000 / 1.830.000. With infinite pattern after 15 hours 9.999.999 is possible. This game not have a score on Arcadia.

ASO 2 ~ Last Guardian: best score possible with all clear is about 3.300.000 / 3.500.000. But there is a infinite pattern on last Boss, so this game is banned.

Blazing Star: (peplos) with this ship is possible 100.000.000+ (after 99.999.900 score is zeroed and restart) because Peplos fireshot is the strongest in the game and is possible infinite pattern during last form of the last Boss. I found a old score of 60.023.820 without infinite pattern, but this ship is banned.

Captain Tomaday: 99.999,99 infinite pattern.

Darius II: all scores banned for bug, except route down V (2 screen and 3 screen version).

Darius Gaiden: all scores banned for bug.

Dogyuun: banned because loop 5 is not playable for bug.

Fantasy zone: banned for infinite pattern. Exception for counter stop + no miss.

Ghost Pilots: infinite pattern in some Boss areas.

KYUUKYOKU TIGER: infinite pattern in final Boss area.

Sengeki Striker: infinite pattern

Side Arms: infinite pattern os stage 3. I found a score of 3.946.500 with comment "infinite pattern not use".

Okay, the other scores:

Darius Burst Another Chronicle EX
プリン - Assault J - 302,573,350

King of Fighters Sky Stage
GFA2-ISO - Kyo - 29,559,910

Shooting Love 2007
UMC (鮒鮨） - Unit 4 - 44,777,560

Desert War
G.M.C. げえむのごんちゃん - Beginner - 9,155,600


Also, I'm not sure if this one really belongs here, but:

Gradius III (Beginner Course)
バクテリアン●キラー＠わかさん - Type D - 2,800,440

Last I checked Strania leaderboards (no Side Vower), top Normal score was 15,687,400 by "momo412", and top Hard 16,502,790 by "SloshyScroll07". No idea who these guys might be, but SloshyScroll07 is typical XBL name generator fare.

Darius Burst Another Chronicle
West: CHI - 156,350,200 - Origin J

From cave-stg:



The scores for all other games this issue (Strania, Darius Burst ACEX, KOF Sky Stage, Shooting Love 2007) are below the current world records.

The DOJ score is below the world record as well, but thankfully we know HFD is still working on this.

Thanks for the scores, marus.

It doesnt look like any of those scores beat the high scores as listed here, but still interesting to see.

If people want to see records for each ship type for any Cave games, EOJ has a thread at his site with updates.

Not to derail the thread but I've been wondering for a while what exactly does Arcadia cover? Is it just a catalogue of arcade high scores?

It's basically a magazine dedicated to arcade games. The high score table is just a small feature of the magazine - most of it consists of news and strategies for the latest arcade games, as well as interviews with both players and developers.

The port leaderboards have a higher score from EOJ: 88,241,910 (Rafute, stage 4).
