All righty... All the screenshots posted next are from a single game of Fantasy Zone. 1) Opa-Opa gets off to a corking start, doing a single clear of the game, so starting round 9 with 8,855,000 points. Attachments:

2) By the time he reaches round 16, his score has risen to 8,978,300. Note the naughty use of the unlimited shot trick! Attachments:

3) One more round of the end game bosses, and he moves on to round 17.. but his score is only 9,104,300- the first 8 rounds gave nearly 9 million points, but the subsequent 8 only 300k?? (In reality, I had 19,104,300 by round 17- this was the first "clocking" of the score, as it cannot display over 10 million). Attachments:

4) Round 25- disaster strikes! Where previously Opa Opa had a healthy score of 9 million, some dastardly fiend has stolen all his points, and he's back down to 300k! (In reality, this is 20,293,700). Attachments:

5) Round 41... and Opa's score has risen a little to 2,800,100. I've no idea what my real score was by this stage. Attachments:

6) Although he shouldn't have bothered with the next 8 levels- his score went DOWN 700k! Attachments:

9) Round 99... and a *by now) extremely arbitrary score of 1,498,000. Is that 61.5M? 71.5M? 101.5? I've no idea! Attachments:

10) Round .... err, say again? what round? I guess it's 100. Doesn't say much, though! Attachments:

11) And now a nice healthy score of 1.5m, considering this is round 1! Err.. hold on, that's not the graphics for round 1...?? Either the image is hacked, or the round counter clocks round at 100... (it's the latter, by the way!). Attachments:

12) And by round 13... err.. 1.. err.. 113.. I'm losing track, Opa's score has risen to 9,117,300 Attachments:

13) But on round 19, disaster strikes.. note his little wings- no engine. And he's lost lives- I fell asleep at the controller and hit something! At this point, he's going straight into fight the "jigsaw puzzle" boss, which by this stage is impossible without any weapon upgrades, and it has too many HP. So that's my largest displayed score... on a rather dodgy screenshot I'm afraid. Hopefully this shows that the displayed score on Fantasy Zone really isn't that meaningful- I had a score of nearly 9m by round 9, and went on to play 110 more levels. There's no way I only scored a few hundred K in all of those levels put together! Maximum score (10m) on this game is easy to get, and I'm guessing that most people who have cleared this game have scored at least that. Attachments:

I think that's proof enough . Could you condense all those posts into one though, put your photo's on a photobucket account and link to them maybe? But, by the same reasoning, ian must also have maxxed the game out...

I still don't believe you. Nah I'm only joking I wasn't having a dig before, I just never noticed how broken the scoring system was. Guess I maxxed it out without realising. It makes sense why the 9999990 score appears on the title screen though.
