Rules of
Play
Arcade
-
All arcade games must be played on the default
settings and on arcade hardware. No MAME submissions are accepted.
Original hardware can be used in non-original cabinets. In addition,
multi-game boards can also be used, such as the new 48-in-1 boards or the
Clay Cowgill kits. The idea is that the games are played on real arcade
hardware and not on a PC in MAME.
-
All games must start with three lives unless
otherwise established by the default settings
-
All high scores must have your initials unless
the game does not accept initials
-
All games must be played on one credit with no
continues
-
Games with finite endings may be played in
marathon mode with unlimited continues to beat the game but the player must
indicate their desire to submit a marathon score in their submission form
Pinball
-
All pinball games must be played on the default
settings and on default tilt and incline (6.5%) settings. No Pin-MAME
submissions are accepted
-
All games must start with three balls unless
otherwise established by the default settings
-
All high scores must have your initials unless
the game does not accept initials
-
All games must be played on one credit with no
continues
The high score for each game will have the photo
of the high score posted on the score list.
If the game is not currently in the database, it
will be added when your score is validated.
You don't have to play a new game - if your high score is
already recorded on your machine, you can submit it to the database also.
Scores from official tournaments
will be accepted without photos. You can send in the link to the score's posting
on the internet or a scan copy of certification paperwork. For example, scores
entered on the P3 Tournament web site have been accepted and added from their
internet posting on their site. Official tournaments are trustworthy on their
face value and do not require double authentication of their scores to be added
to the High Scores Arcade.
Any score found to be falsified will result in
the score being removed and the responsible party will no longer be allowed to
submit scores on this site.
New for the High Scores Arcade,
instead of having to buy a certificate for a score, we're now sending them
electronically for each new score submission. Once your score is reviewed and
accepted, you will receive a certificate by Email from the High Scores Arcade
that recognizes your score and your current place on the scoreboard.
