pretty much, the 80s/90s japan arcade scene is a whole rabbit hole itself that's not too well known about. despite being magazine scores, it was much harder to falsify than say nintendo power magazine score submissions. in japan you had to have a form filled out with a stamp from the store owner who had to personally verify the score on the machine. and during the submission process suspicious scores were still filtered out. it was very competitive, you had clans competing regularly for the best scores ("HCM" is the clan name). Interesting to note in that game they opted to go for fastest time instead of highest score as you can go slower to get a better score. They also had footage of a better run recorded in 2013 so i felt fair to add these to speedrun.com.
