Hmm... a thought: how about uploading the safedisks with your highscores on it, i.e., the saved game position?
After all ToB supports import of highscores.

It allows loading highscores, but to merge our highscores would require first loading a highscore-file from someone else, then loading a saved game and playing the final tower to enter you score to the list, and then save the list again. Or something like that...

I could, of course, create a list with all submitted scores and then post that as a diskfile.

But as I mentioned before, at least my score is not really meaningful...

True. This doesn't really work. You could (I suppose) leave a tower in the very first group until the end!!

On a side note, which should probably be mentioned in another topic, how about a thingy for the remake which lets you replay completed towers? Just for fun, no extra points.

Yes, this is definitely a must!! That was one of the weak spots of the original game. After playing 117 towers, I absolutely expect to be able to browse through all the towers and replay the most interesting ones, or just have another look at them.

Looks like this has already been taken care of. Nice to see technical evolution at work.

But back to the Highscore list - when you enter View/Update Highscore from the main menu, you're given the option to load a saved game, i.e., a score. Right? I seem to recall you can load your saved game (in Load/Save Game), then put in another save disk and update the highscore list with that game.
Am I wrong? I'd like to try it. Savedisks, please!

I replayed the whole game on the Atari version, so this won't be of any help to you.
And my 14-year-old score sucks............

Looks like I'm wrong anyway. Highscore is not loaded automatically when loading a game, you have to manually update it...
