Rhode Island, USAAnd to counter the claim in the other locked thread of "here we have the option to beat the game", several of the games above have goals that are equivalent to "beat the game":
- Pac-man could be "beat X levels"
- Duck Hunt has kill screen
- Pac-Man has "Level Completion"
- Spy Hunter has "beat the game".
Other games also have partial game goals:
- Link to the Past has Master Sword.
- Final Fantasy IV has Paladin (which is an arbitrary point 1/3 into the game).
The requested goal is a partial game goal (allowed by many site games, even with the capacity to do a full game run), and goals of arbitrary yet significant point values are regularly allowed (see my previous post). As this game doesn't seem to be eligible for category extensions (see Raistlin's post), a request for a category that's about to become very popular for the next 4-5 weeks seems more than reasonable, and would likely serve as a launch point for players into the full game run eventually.

We are generally not a site that keeps track of scores and score-related goals. While people are welcome to set up boards that track it if they wish, we will not accept boards that are solely score-related.
Thank you for your feedback, @starsmiley. If I may inquire, how are the following goals allowed then?
Spy Hunter (30K and 30K Coleco)
Double Dribble (100 points )
Tetris (pick your category)
Pac-man (10K Points)
Pinball (100K Points)
Shooting Range (30K)
Duck Hunt (pick a category)
I could go on here, but I think the above makes the point. The request is not for a "high score" board. The request here is for a board that is "achieve the required score as quickly as possible", which is clearly allowed in many other games.
Any chance we could add the category to win the World Series (aka full season)?
