Notes for October 5, 1995:
ANNOUNCEMENT: New mail address for contributions! "trixter@mcs.com"
There is a mailing list for the Lynx High Score list! If you want to
receive it automatically whenever a new version is released, just send
email to trixter@mcs.com saying you want to be added to the list.
I can't apologize enough for the delay in getting this out. I got
married, I got promoted, and I got a new job. The ruckus made my head
spin.
There's a whole slew of racing times for Checkered Flag; check them out!
All the times for Checkered Flag are the qualifing times for a certain
track only. Many thanks to Dominique Rodriguez for his patience and
suggestions.
Introduction
------------
Due to the (unfortunate) shortage of Lynxers around my area, I've
taken to recording a high score from everyone I've come into contact
with, both for bragging purposes (a little competition never hurt
anyone), and also to see just what is possible. Without other people to
compare against, I have no idea if my achievements are good or lame.
To combat that, I've come up with a "high score" file, with more
than just high scores. A description of the categories are as follows:
High Scores: Well, just that. All scores are assumed to be given in
the game's native allocation unit. Examples: 170,400
(points) in Robotron, 1,850,000 (buckazoids) in Zarlor
Mercenary, etc.
Speed Records: An achievement of how fast something was completed.
Only applies if the game itself has a timer. Examples:
Completed ElectroCop with 12:30:44 left on the clock,
etc.
Achievements: Any phenomenal achievement. Example: Reached level 57
on Robotron, finished the American golf course (Awesome
Golf) 2 under par, etc. Game completions will not be
counted. This is because almost anyone can complete a
game if they put their mind to it.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
- If there are more then ten scores submitted for a game, only the
top ten are printed. Scores are now sorted with the skill level
accounted for, making the top score the top "best"
accomplishment.
- It is, of course, assumed that all scores, records, etc. have
been achieved without the use of cheating. Honestly applies.
- Whenever there is a dispute over a score, a question mark will
appear next to the score until it can be verified. Example: A
Surfing score of 8,347 isn't right, because Surfing counts by
fives, making a "non-multiple-of-five" score impossible. In the
above case, it's assumed that the producer of the score is either
lying, or can't remember the exact score. It will be reported as
Surfing: (?)8,347
- PLEASE submit your scores! Submission information is at the end
of this list.
- Whenever possible, include your email address, so that other
Lynxers may congratulate / challenge you through email.
- As this list is new (inception 7/20/93), there are undoubtedly
many scores that I haven't listed, so please email or contact me
with new developments as they occur. Also, most of the scores
are mine, as I don't have many contacts yet. 8-)
- A new list will be posted to alt.games.lynx and
rec.games.video.misc once every month. The most recent list is
available from me upon request.
Well, enough of that. Let's get started.

Achievements
------------
Baseball Heroes:
Darin Reid (AREID@MARY.FORDHAM.EDU) Home Run avg. of .250; he
explains: "I got 25 homeruns in the homerun derby from
'Baseball Heroes'. This is significant, because you're
limited to 100 pitches total. So in effect I had a home run
1/4 of the time at bat."
Darin Reid (AREID@MARY.FORDHAM.EDU) got a no-hit game; he
explains: "I just threw a 26 strikeout (one ground ball),
no-hit game in Baseball Heroes! I was using The Sweeps,
playing LA. I just kept putting the ball over the inside
(for righties, outside for lefties) corner, the batters
never even swung, the only one who did, hit a slowroller to
the SS. As I got to the 9th my heart was pounding...FINAL
SCORE: Sweeps 20 LA 0"

and I received a letter stating my

tips. For more info, see the tricks I
submitted into the lynxserver cheat file.
