Huh... I found an "exploit" sort of thing in Liberator as well, but chose to be honest and not use it. If you hold down the fire button when you press start, you'll be finishing that first little onslaught with 9000 points instead of 200.

I should've cheated!

If you do the Road Runner short cut, the game doesn't allow you to enter your initials, and there isn't any other way of seeing that someone has used the warp, and it also looks like the short cut can't be turned off too.

And with Liberator, you can get higher scores from starting at the start, but using the level advance is the quicker route to improving scores.

Yes! Two things:

- still gutted I couldn't afford to go to this (though at least I guess Arcade Barn will be showing up at Replay this year! :D )

- a number of photos from the event have been uploaded to the CGEU Gallery (with the permission of the respective photographers) here:
www.cgeu.info/gallery/index.php/Events/Events-UK/HISCORE/2011-03

If you've got some photos to add, please drop me a PM and I'll create an account for you (though it probably won't be until a week tomorrow before I get time to do this, as the Replay team will be busy at Gadget Show Live for the next 10 days ... ;) ).
