1 second on Minesweeper, easy difficulty

Don't remember exactly but I was one of those guys who initials were all over the top 10 in Punch-Out!! in the arcade version.

I claim that I have won a game of Transport Tycoon. Long ago I reached such wealth that the number turned to negatives and I was unable to recover from my sudden 2,147 billion debt.

The bug is that the highest value my 32 bit CPU could do was 2 147 xxx xxx (I don't remember every number) and the next bit flipping means that the value is negative. As in, the computer literally can't handle the number of money I was having.

5000 consecutive bounces on a lolo ball (aka pogo bal)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Those don't look like they bounce.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Haha. They're bouncier than they look. There was a huge craze of them in the late 80s where I live. People definitely lost teeth.

I have 872k on the tetris website

1738 keepy ups ! I developed a strain on my ankle that day and stopped playing football entirely

I got about 32 points in Life. My score goes up every 365 days. I'm hoping to make a world record some day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Well it would be a miracle if it went down.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

So you don't even get a point a day? Sounds like my literal life, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I feel that smaller numbers with a bigger impact is far more satisfying than big numbers with little impact.

Also, I'm too lazy to count how many days I've been alive. Lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

120k on Galaga. Not impressive compared to the world record holders out there, but it takes effort to get that "bad".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Once I went to Australia and I had a very long flight. I played Steredenn and I don’t really know how I finished first worldwide after a game that lasted forever.

And I stopped playing not because I lost, but because this was the end of the flight. More than 7 billions. It was a few years ago and I am the 10th now.

There's this mobile game called Egg Inc. I used to play it during my downtime. One update, it had like a leader board pop up.

"you are in the top 0.1% of players!"

... I stopped playing after that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Mans stopped the only thing he was a world leader in 😥

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

"Hey you're not allowed to look at porn at work!"

"It's not porn! It's the prize I got in my egg game!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Not really a score, but a placement. Last week, I placed #43 in the world for the Power Shift game mode for the 4th season of The Finals, #26 in the NA region.

It's not a competitive game mode and it's not a true ranked leaderboard, but there's not much I'm in the top 0.01% of, so I'm gonna brag about it anyway.

All 150 caught in the original Pokemon.

I once rolled the Donkey Kong game and watch score several times

Infinity happens in MTG all the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Noo, MTG only allows you to go to “arbitrarily high.”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

But usually only one infinity. In revolution idle, I've collected a score of infinite infinities, which collated into an eternity, and have then collected infinite eternities.

There's another layer on top of that called a unity, but I am not there yet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

What game was it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

I played Exponential Idle for a while, and while I lost my highest progress, I have an old save where I got to 10^10^19096.3

The number of digits in that number is itself a number with over 19,000 digits.

It's so big that if you take the square root - so it has half as many digits, the result would be written about the same but without the ".3" at the end.

500,000 gold in Patrician 3

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Max score in Universal Paperclips is 30 septendecillion (3×10^55^). You can get there just by being patient.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, but your final score won't be as impressive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I love this game, still got it downloaded on my phone. Really makes you think.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I used to get high Tetris scores on my Ti-83. I was also the geeky kid that learned to download games for the calculator and knew how to transfer them, so my high scores soon began to populate the school. For the next few years, I'd meet recently graduated underclassmen at my university and they'd be like "You're the guy with the Tetris scores on my calculator!" To this day it may be my biggest claim to fame.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

I wonder what the maxout score on a TI83 would be

I got over a billion points on an Indiana Jones pinball machine once. The ball return was messed up and it just kept kicking the ball back out without registering a lost ball. I played for hours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

I had something like that happen. Played the pinball game that gets loaded on a lot of computers, and the ball ended up in a scenario where it went into one of the top holes where it got points, and every time the hole would spit the ball back out, it would just ricochet back into the hole, causing a point-farming loop. If you see a phone number among the high scores, that would be me, and I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh the whole time.
