[Necromancer]

75,420 is my current best.  Ignore the hiscore, as 'twas obtained while cheating to better explore scoring mechanics.

[fragmare]

90k?!  How in the f*ck???

I hit the wall like 4 times and my best is 64395, then i have a PERFECT run and don't hit anything and i barely clear 51k.

Do tell of the mechanics. 

[ccovell]

Okay, I'll let Fragmare maintain this list if he wants to.  :DDD

Please add 72374 for Cabbage, and 62609 for Morden.

p.s. There are mechanics.

Will you enlighten as to what some of those mechanics might be?

[ccovell]

How boring would that be?

Besides, there isn't any secret bullshit like "hit the walls 5 times to make your score go faster..."

Oh so it's mainly just plainly obvious shit like, "HUG CORNERS FOR FASTER LAP TIMES" or "PROTIP: SHOOT THE BOSS UNTIL IT DIES"? 

[fragmare]

Exploited the "keep pressing a direction" scoring mechanic and came up with 72327.  I'll see what I can do later tonight.

[fragmare]

Bam.

[Joe Redifer]

I got 69715 but taking another picture and transferring it to the computer is too much of a bother. I think this game should be renamed HuWiggle or WiggleZero. Because wiggling is exactly what you've gotta do. It's murder on the thumb.

Hints: Always try to be pressing a direction. Never go straight. It also might help to be closer to the edge of the track. Also get a robot thumb as this will quickly destroy a human thumb. You might think to try a TurboStick, but the TurboStick sucks balls since it is one of the worst sticks ever made. Maybe try a different stick.

This caravan nonsense seems to only be on the PC Engine. I've never heard of it elsewhere.

It's a Hudson thing.  There were a few such titles on the famicom, that were subsequently rereleased on the sfc in a compilation.

Don't forget NAXAT, copying Husdon, did their own version with "Summer Carnival"

OBLIGATORY:

I didn't want to give hints on the game, but I'll show mercy for your masturbating hand.  ;-)

You don't need to be constantly pressing directions; as long as your ship is moving laterally, you'll rack up 10x the points.  So once again it's tappity tap tap.

[Joe Redifer]

Wrong hand, Chris.

[jtucci31]

Finally broke 60k. I'm getting the hang of it. Next goal is 70k!
