interesting. im still curious as to why pigger locked the strange scores thread over at cagdc, going as far as saying this should be handled behind closed doors(via pm)...thankfully, open discussion is encouraged here, which is the MAIN reason why so many have migrated from cagdc to dkf permanently

TG pulled plausible Junior scores from the database in the 80s, so they weren't nice to everybody. :)
It's interesting to see some of the other "early" top 5 TG scores from this thread which documented scores from an early TG printout of the TG database: http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/forums/index.php/topic,5026.0.html

Curious how some scores on some games were pulled from the database in the 80's on certain games.

As I mentioned on that thread I found the Gorf scores interesting.  From the printout:

1) 2,220,000 - Jason Smith – 6 ships – 2/13/83
2) 723,300 - Allen Menard - ? ships - 1/5/83
3) 707,230 - Victor Ng - 6 ships - 4/15/83
4) 704,590 - John Chandler - 6 ships - 12/31/82
5) 663,990 - Todd Rogers - 6 ships - 11/24/82

On the current TG site scoreboard the 1st through 4th place scores have completely disappeared and Todd Rogers score became the Golden Era record with details modified to be a 653,990 3-ship score, but with the same 11/24/82 date listed for his old 6-ship score.
