Correct me if I'm wrong but don't TG scores have to be set whilst one of their adjudicators watches? And if so are there adjudicators in Japan?
Also, I don't see how they can appoint themselves as the 'official' world recorders and validators if they simply ignore Japanese high scores.
^Yes I've mentioned these points before.
Answer 1 - Yes Twin Galaxies adjudicators/referees either have to be present or videos have to be submitted for the
so-called World Records.
Answer 2 - As far back as I can remember (80s), the Japanese have also sent out referees/witnesses to arcades for World Record attempts.
I respect what Twin Galaxies are doing for the Retro Titles, but of course I'm also very aware that Twin Galaxies
conveniently ignore the Japanese (or shall we say Eastern) Arcadia Records.
For Twin Galaxies, the World seems to stop at the borders of North America
.
So in the past, I've played Devil's Advocate and posted Gemant's Arcadia WR listing link on Twin Galaxies forum.
Interestingly, Twin Galaxies senior Referees did not know of the term 'Counter Stop' before I mentioned it with regard to my friend KAC's Counter Stop on Defender II Stargate.
I post on Twin Galaxies for my friend Craig who's been attacking Jr Pac Man in my local arcade for the last couple of years.
Like I said, I do respect Twin Galaxies, but I do wish they would
come clean on the 'World Record' issue
. A WR is a WR not a USA WR.
Am I supposed to believe that the World Record on Twin Cobra PCB is 1.9mil (as TG lists) or 10,000,000+ Counter Stop as shown on mog-rep?!
etc...
