For those who don't know,
www.twingalaxies.com is pretty good at keeping video game records. Unfortunately, the search feature is finicky, so you have to type in exactly "Pac-Man", while "pac man" will return nothing.
I'd like to go after one of the classics. Probably, the best record I have in mind right now is the all-time high score for Ms. Pac-Man. My understanding is that because the fruits are randomized, a high score in Ms. Pac-Man is pretty much determined by whoever happens to get the most bananas to come out. I also really liked the game "Crazy Taxi", but I find it annoying that a lot of the records have artificial rules imposed on them (no continuous backdrift, etc.). I used to routinely get over $100k in Crazy Taxi, but that was using continuous backdrift.
Also, I know a lot of people are going to want to post the record that they would like to beat. Either way, I think it would be awesome if someone winds up beating a record due to this thread.
