Hey, I was thinking about high scores and I was wondering if anyone knows what's the high score at MARP that's the "best" high score, and by "best" I mean the one that's the farthest ahead of the 2nd place score for that game. I was just thinking about it because I was wondering how my Punch-Out!! high score compares to other high scores in this respect. I can't think of any way I could search aside from doing it manually, and naturally many games don't have a scoring system that lends themselves to this sort of comparsion, but I still thought it'd be interesting to think about. Anyone have any ideas?

The ones that earn 0 points even for 2nd place, and are currently non- zeroed and are not archived or tournamented are:

(193.84 times 2nd) fantzono - Fantasy Zone (old ver.) - N.K.'s 8,544,400 to Game Guru's 44,080

(282.67 times 2nd) triviag1 - Trivial Pursuit: Genus I - Del Riley, 66,073,500 to Ray Atkinson's 233,750

(316.05 times 2nd) ringohja - Ring no Ohja - Barry Rodewald's 3,950,600 to Game Guru's 12,500

(2,394.21 times 2nd) wndrplnt - Wonder Planet - P@Team2Ch's 10,247,210 to Vaz's 4,280

I believe the later is the winner by far. :) GB9

of course if you want the greatest point difference from first to second it must be mystic stones

1rst. 1,048,885,220

2nd. 657,712,150

-------------------

391,173,070

just 391 million more and you can have first place over 2nd... :)

Someone go play Wonder Planet.

Wonder Planet is just like 1942 - You need to beat the game to get the 10M point bonus. That game is rough.

current best point difference between 1st and 2nd is "hidden":

Cleopatra Fortune:
(1st):Novice@team2ch 999.999.990

(2nd):dissolute city 6.260.820

"Just" 993.739.170 difference points...
