Re: Steve Wiebe Recognised As First Million Point Donkey Kong Record Holder As Billy Mitchell's Scores Are Nuked

@VinylCreep Playing on MAME in an of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing nor does it automatically make the game easier. However, the problem is Billy was submitting scores for the original arcade version of the game. When you play on an arcade machine there are no pauses, no breaks, and no way to cheat on your score. You must stand there and grind away

When you play via MAME you can pause the game to regroup, use save states in case you lose a life or have a bad round, and input cheat codes that could make the game easier. In the case of Billy it looks an awful like he was not playing a continuous game and was instead using save states on each map in an effort to max his score out.

You could easily play a legit straight up game via MAME but it stands to reason that any person playing an emulated version of the game who claims to be playing on an actual arcade board and doesn't have video to back up that he played a continuous game w/o ever pausing or using save states is very likely cheating.

Re: EA's Moore Perplexed by World of Goo Success

the fact of the matter is that FIFA and NBA Live are not even the best games that emulate their sports and Madden was no longer top dog and thats why EA bought exclusive rights with the NFL, NCAA and Arena.

As FIFA is NOT the best soccer/football game out he can stop his crying and catch up with Pro Evo and THEN maybe he will get his game otn he list.

Also, I DO play all of EA's sports games every year and they are too basically roster updates. They have even begun TAKING OUT features as of late.
