As you see, thanks for pointing it out, is ZERO POINTS!
WHY, you were trying to prove me wrong, and you made the point for
me, why thank you.

"Dear" Mr Parsley, we have to precise that you just edited your
scores to ZERO after Phil's remark, claiming you have no atari
baseball scores ! One lie more, as everybody can see...
So , before accusing clean scores of being fake, just start to be
clean yourself ! And please don't invoke the love of god when you
lie ...

Again, dear sir. Having no score is what I said. Where a problem here
may come from a language difference. No Atari Baseball Score means no
score (points) on board, not whether or not there is a recording.
Please don't flame when you don't have all the facts.

And here are the facts : I don't know how to join a file to the
board's mail but for those who are interested I can send them a
"top3.htm" file I've uploaded 2 or 3 days ago . It shows that
Parsley's scores are (and were for a long time ago) 8 on abaseb and 2
on abaseb2 . They 've suddenly been change to 0 after my precedent

Chris,
<p>

English is my first language but I also took your posting to mean
that you did not "have any scores for Atari Baseball" to mean no
recordings because even a score of 0 is a score.

<p>

The hard to read html inserted above from the MARP page still shows
you having a score of 1 and therefore 6 points on set 1 of Atari
Baseball so your statement of having no scores (sorry no leaderboard
points) still is incorrect.

<p>

Lastly I was not trying to have a go at you, it just seems you're
trying to blame this on English not being their primary language and
that they mis-understood what you meant when in reality that's a poor
excuse for not admitting you made a mistake.

<p>

Having come to the defence of Phil from Chris's explanations re Atari
Baseball I will come back to the original reason for this thread.

<p>

I have now downloaded Phil's recording of Crystal Castles and must
say I am surprised that anyone could perform the moves he did -
particularly getting the gem monsters eating the gems with such
relative ease and completing level 10-1 in the manner he did.

<p>

All these things considered would seem to suggest that 2+2 <> 4.

Nothing to say about the use of Warps....that's an inside game
feature, and could be used or not...it's up to anyone (dozen of games
give this chance, not only at the beginning -level select-, but
during the game too -BubbleBobble and Pang3, just to name 2-).

What makes me wonder instead is the movement....<br>
I'm not doubting Phil's skill at ccastles, but.....is it humanly
possible to move that fast, avoiding enemies or killing them while
eating, picking up perfectly every single gem....and so on...!?!
uuhmmmmm....<br>

Such speed is almost ureachable, even setting the X and Y sensitivity
% over 100, and anyway, with such sensitivity, is almost impossible
to be that precise !<br>
I know I'm to raise a major flame against me....but I couldn't help
wondering that, and so I tried to do what I never did before.<br>
I played a game after slowering down my PC to 50 Mhz, and the
difference is <b>so</b> evident.... it even makes a poor ccastles
player like me a great one !!!

To conferm my assumption, just <a
href="http://marp.retrogames.com/Stats/ccastl ... ">download
this file.</a> <br> The cc1 and cc2 inps have been recorded at full
speed with 110 and 180 % sensitvity respectively: player speed is
identical (and my ability is close to 0 :-))) <br> The fake.inp has
been recorded at 50Mhz ... do you notice any difference...?!?
