Don't shoot me, because I'm all for scorerun.com or some variation thereof that operates like speedrun.com because it's a great model, but is the goal for this project to be the centralized place for high scores? That will take a lot of time and there are lots of variables affecting its potential success. Again, I support a new high score site run like this one here.

The opening post says there's no universal/go-to but then goes on to compare other sites to Twin Galaxies, as if TG is the reference point here. Doesn't that by definition indicate that TG is the go-to? Not trying to get into a semantics argument, but if people are comparing other high score sites to TG then it seems like TG is regarded as a standard of some kind, and if there IS really a standard of some kind, scorerun.com (or whatever it would be called) would have to overcome the perception of that standard. Again, I support it, and I want to see it, because the model here at speedrun.com is a very sound model with game moderators handling all aspects of the games they moderate.

@nick666101 is also a terrific Tetris player from the Netherlands. Check out some of his runs :)

Hey everyone!

I have been an active high score gamer for a few years now, having been part of sites like TG and HighScore. As much as I do still pursue high scores, I'm trying to rekindle some of the fire I used to have when I started gaming competitively. After walking away from a couple sites like those I just mentioned, I'm looking to go about the competitive gaming scene at a different angle.

I still compete in online tournaments hosted by members at TG and Aussie Arcade, which are a real blast, and I encourage people to check out some of that. The MGL tournaments (MAME Gaming League) hosted by Paul Hornitzky of the greater Australia/New Zealand area are a terrific place to start if you're working to get into high score tournaments.

I'm not a specialist, so you'll find me speed running quite a breadth of game types and platforms. I hope you'll enjoy what I bring to the table.

Also I'm no expert but have spent a lot of time using MAME/WolfMAME, recording INPs as I go, and troubleshooting various user issues. Any GENERAL questions about MAME I'd be happy to take a shot at.

Happy to be here.

Good gaming!
