0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I was looking up high scores for this one and it seems the two highest on twin galaxies (1.6 and 1.4 million) took over an hour: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/revenge-of-the-gator/game-boy-game-boy-color/points/ Although, the 500k speedrun is 11:10: https://www.speedrun.com/revenge_of_the_gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) 816170 [Old picture] I figured I would get things started. This was only slightly better than the run I posted in the GB completion thread. It started so promising though. In my first life I got ~740k and an extra life, but soon wasted my other three lives. Fun fact: the sticker with cheat codes on the back of the cart has two codes to disable each of the flippers. Not sure why anyone would want to do that.

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) 1,253,260 [Old picture] Finally broke 1 million. The run went like this: 200k 300k 700k + extra life 5k So much for that extra life. This game is a nice change in pace from the last two games. Although these runs are starting to get pretty long.

arnpoly | 205 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I've almost beaten the in-game top score and I finally saw the top board for the first time. Edited January 8, 2020 by arnpoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) 1,309,420 [Old picture] The run had a disappointing end. I also had a 1.24 million run this morning. 900k + extra life (didn't get extra life until 800k) 350k 50k 5k Edited January 11, 2020 by 0xDEAFC0DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 1,854,740 Sorry for the double post but I figured this was a decent sized improvement. It beats the "world record" score on twin galaxies. Here's the breakdown. 930k + extra life 20k 120k 780k As always I had one useless life, but I had two pretty good ones this time. Also, I cleared the alligator on the top board twice on my first life for the first time. I read on the gamefaq guide that you only get one extra life, but if anyone's curious it adds one to you bonus multiplier same as getting three stars. I'm not sure how much more I'm going to be playing this since the runs are getting so long at this point. Unless of course someone beats me or at least is nipping at my heels. I see BriGuy just broke 1 million an hour ago (congrats), so maybe he'll force my hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 589 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 First and last submission, I am not very good at these kinds of games I think. 606820 bgb00052.bmp Speaking of GBC pinball, @Splain, I think it would be pretty intense and epic to set Pokemon Pinball's clear conditions for GBC contest as "complete the pokedex'. Would probably take the whole year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecmyers | 100 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 375,010 Just in case I don't get to post another score by tonight. I kept trying to use the shoulder buttons on my GBA as flippers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splain | 2,686 Editorials Team · Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) 538400 Edit: there, got the formatting fixed. I dumped everything while on mobile just in case I didn't get to a compy in time. Really wish I could have found some more time to play this one, I was starting to get the hang of things. I can appreciate how much more content there is in Kirby's Pinball Land, it gets a little dull going for those 3 tabs on the left side over and over; I can't imagine doing it for long enough to get almost 2M points. 6 hours ago, koifish said: Speaking of GBC pinball, @Splain, I think it would be pretty intense and epic to set Pokemon Pinball's clear conditions for GBC contest as "complete the pokedex'.

NDO | 1 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hi, I would like to participate in this challenge. Playing the game since 1991. Gave it a quick go and reached 1,400,000 points. How can I prove it, Played on old 1998 Game Boy color. Thanks. Pretty sure I can reach 2,000,000 points. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But stick around, there's a contest on a different game every week (in season). Maybe more games you like will pop up. I only participate in certain ones when I have time, and I'll never place in the tournament but it's still fun. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Link pointed out, this contest ended a while ago, but there's almost always some sort of competition going on here. This week there's a Punch Out! competition here. During the NES contest off-seasons, I've been running unofficial weekly contests, like this was a part of. Also, although it's not very active, there is a thread to post your pinball game high scores here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDO | 1 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I thank both of you, I thank you also for your welcome, Link. Originally I was looking for the world record for revenge of the gator and found this page. I don't try to set a record in every game, but only in a few that I particularly like and play for a long time. Do you perhaps know a site where all world records are listed? Otherwise I only know the leaderboards, for example in racing games. Thanks red for the pinball link, I've been playing pinball for 40 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been tracking records for as long as you've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I find it a bit amusing that we play these competitions and I doubt many of us look to the high score WR leaderboards. @NDO, Twin Galaxies is the de facto place for recording World Record high scores and I even think that Guinness Book of World Records defaults to their judgements on WRs for their books when it comes to scoring. Anyway, @0xDEAFC0DE, it looks like you have the world record for this game according to Twin Galaxies! I think you have to submit video over there but in our book, you're trusted so unofficially, you're the leader in my book! You're pretty good at reading the code for games and figuring out ways to "break' them for high scores. Have you ever considered posting to TG for this type of stuff?

NDO | 1 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Twin Galaxies uses Video to verify a record. So am I supposed to record a 4 hr play of Gator? I guess a picture of an real Gameboy, not emulator should be enough. btw, can't believe 1,700,000 is a world record. The game is also about luck, so if you play one week you get to that pretty easy.

Their proof requirements are likely a barrier or burden to some people who can do better. I can't even look at much on their website without an account.
