You get a new PB then realize you aren't recording so it doesn't count! Would've beaten my current time on the leaderboard for Soda Popinski.

New Rule: ABR-Always, Be, Recording!

that's probably the oldest rule in the book, actually! My bull 2 PB is also lost forever due to no recording.

As someone that's just too damn old school, it's hard for me to learn new tricks. I just barely got into the habit of using save states to avoid wasting time practicing and I still have to remind myself to do it.

I'm one of those arcade guys that for some crazy reason will start a game over rather than continue because I don't feel I've truly beaten the game unless it's on 1 quarter. As far as I'm concerned my PB were all when I was 10-18 years old, so no matter what I record today it won't even come close, but at least I can prove that I can come close, lol.
