    I got about 32 points in Life. My score goes up every 365 days. I’m hoping to make a world record some day.

    There’s this mobile game called Egg Inc. I used to play it during my downtime. One update, it had like a leader board pop up.

    “you are in the top 0.1% of players!”

    … I stopped playing after that.

    I claim that I have won a game of Transport Tycoon. Long ago I reached such wealth that the number turned to negatives and I was unable to recover from my sudden 2,147 billion debt.

    The bug is that the highest value my 32 bit CPU could do was 2 147 xxx xxx (I don’t remember every number) and the next bit flipping means that the value is negative. As in, the computer literally can’t handle the number of money I was having.

    Max score in Universal Paperclips is 30 septendecillion (3×1055). You can get there just by being patient.

    I used to get high Tetris scores on my Ti-83. I was also the geeky kid that learned to download games for the calculator and knew how to transfer them, so my high scores soon began to populate the school. For the next few years, I’d meet recently graduated underclassmen at my university and they’d be like “You’re the guy with the Tetris scores on my calculator!” To this day it may be my biggest claim to fame.

    I played Exponential Idle for a while, and while I lost my highest progress, I have an old save where I got to 101019096.3

    The number of digits in that number is itself a number with over 19,000 digits.

    It’s so big that if you take the square root - so it has half as many digits, the result would be written about the same but without the “.3” at the end.

    I got over a billion points on an Indiana Jones pinball machine once. The ball return was messed up and it just kept kicking the ball back out without registering a lost ball. I played for hours.

      I had something like that happen. Played the pinball game that gets loaded on a lot of computers, and the ball ended up in a scenario where it went into one of the top holes where it got points, and every time the hole would spit the ball back out, it would just ricochet back into the hole, causing a point-farming loop. If you see a phone number among the high scores, that would be me, and I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh the whole time.
