AMG Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know it has been said before, a lot, but what is the point in ruining the arcade for everyone by cheating on the scores. I know people will probably say i need to get a life, etc, but there has been a lot of effort put into developing and setting the arcade up and a lot of time (usually at work ) by the players put in to it. Them someone cheats and F"£Ks it all up for everyone. Look at me!!!!!!!!!!! I know how to cheat!!!!!!!!!!!! Well F("K ME, your my hero now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not annoyed because my scores have been beaten, but i have been trying to beat an all time score for a while. I logged on the other day to find the new all time score is lower than my current high score!!! If i was winninf the all time score, as i am on another game, and it was replaced with a lower score, as it has been for me, i would be really annoyed, not pissed off as that would mean i need a life. Anyway, i have had my rant and now am going to carry on drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just read it again and dont want to fall out with anyone, just annoyed for the people who have put the effort in bringing us this entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I did reset the "best scores of all time" last week to remove Jake as the king of the arcade. That has allowed people with scores lower than the "actual Highscore Champion" to achieve the "best scores of all time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 No problem mate, i am sure you are a bit fed up of this as it is a bit daft really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I noticed something odd with the tourney if you don't play for 7 days, but I've had too much voddy tonight to figure out what happened, I'll chuck you a PM Mawby about it when I'm more with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 when I found out the scores could be faked I sort of lost interest. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4RK RZ Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I totaly agree - best thing to do is check the scores and ban them form the arcade + delete scores so we get proper games going. Its a good laugh trying to do better - its no fun chasing cheets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallace9 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'll probably get banned for saying this but my girlfriends the snake champ. I tried for ages and couldn't beat your second score then the missus comes in and does in about her third attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Bah! Beaten by a girl! I'm definitely gunning for that score then!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I totaly agree - best thing to do is check the scores and ban them form the arcade + delete scores so we get proper games going. How can you check the scores are genuine though? As far as I'm aware I'm the only person who is known to have definitely hacked the scores and all my scores have since been deleted. What other scores do people think are dubious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Why did you feel the need to cheat? Surely you have the whole day free to practise and get really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Why did you feel the need to cheat? I didn't. Surely you have the whole day free to practise and get really good! I do indeed. And I am really good at some of the games. Nobody can beat me at Beer Mini Golf. Stuff like Space Invaders and Asteroids there's no real skill in anyway, it's just a question of who can be arsed to play it longest.

Shilakadaddy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I don't think anyone's cheated. The current best score of all time was reset, not hacked. There's only a couple of games in the arcade that I don't know how the person got such a high score, but that doesn't mean they cheated. All the scores can be beaten if you're bored enough (apart from the golf ones ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Shilak - your PacMan score is insane. My previous high score was a little bit over the 100k mark, but that was already getting damn near impossible - the super pills were only lasting about 3 seconds!

CJ Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is the kick up's score genuine or a cheat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 What other scores do people think are dubious? I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get 255,000 in 7 minutes, I had to waste another hour of my Saturday morning on that one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think you can take the "time played" values with a pinch of salt - they seem to be somewhat random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get 255,000 in 7 minutes, I had to waste another hour of my Saturday morning on that one!! I think the time next to the score is the amount of time taken when the player last played the game (not necessarily when the high score was achieved). I.e. I'm eskiv champion but there's no way I could get that score (240) in 28 seconds. (I got a rubbish score of 70 or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 But on that game it doesn't give the option to retry, when you loose your last ball it just goes straight to the high scores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous high score was a little bit over the 100k mark, but that was already getting damn near impossible - the super pills were only lasting about 3 seconds! I can't remember what level it got up to, but before I died, the super pills actually did nothing at all and the bonus items in the middle were keys worth 5,000 points each It was pretty intense! While we're here asking, how is the Bat and Mouse score possible? I could imagine 1 million being possible if you did really well, but above that something special must happen...
