Retro Gamer High Score Competition – Week 1: Strider
Right then, we felt that the blog was the perfect place to run a highscore competition, so we’re going to start off with my favourite game. All you need to do is post your score in the comments thread and send proof to our website (for verification). The person with the highest score by Thursday gets to pick the next game.This week we’ll be playing the Mega Drive version of Strider and it should be on default settings with no credits. I’ve had a few warm-ups and the current score to beat is 55,300. Good luck everyone.

You are forgetting the fact that I am rubbish at Strider.

We still want your score though

We demand an easier game!…. maybe.

Beat my score and you can have one

Can’t I just lie and tell you I scored 55,301?

Of course you can mate. But if you want to choose next week’s game you have to provide proof

Can I vouch for his score as proof?

If you got 55,301, you’d be lambasted for using a continue
My previous best on the original was 80,350 in the Retroleague, so I might try and top that.

You must have completed the game to get that high a score. Am I right?

Nope, got to the part where you walk on the ceiling and so-on. Maybe the scoring is different on the Mega Drive.
