Looking for Solarian II high scores!
This gem of a game is relatively obscure and older than most, so there’s not much footage out there, let alone evidence of winning runs. That said, the archives of comp.sys.mac.games on Usenet yields a few tales dating back to 1990...
As it stands, the top reported scores are:
-
1,250,000 - Jason Haines - Club Mac
-
799,730 - Robert Dominy - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
-
726,000 - Robert Falco - Penn State University
The top recorded score is this one here at Speedrun for 859,530. Which is a decent run, but it could definitely be improved. A comment on the video by @pixelpusher1393 claims exceeding 1,000,000 several times.
Update Aug 2024: new top score 1,108,750
If you have achieved a greater score, please write in. Bonus points if you have it recorded (!)
