The Todd Rogers dragster saga is one of the juiciest stories in all of video game history. I was addicted to researching the dispute when it arose on Twin Galaxies and the entire story has never been portrayed properly. This only barely touches the tip of the iceberg of the corruption that went on between Rogers and Twin Galaxies.

I went to school with Todd and let me tell you you’re wrong. He is an extremely impressive person. I remember I onece got a call 102% on a chemistry test. A perfect score and I got both bonus questions right. But when I told Todd that day at lunch, he informed me that he had score or 250% on the same test. Another time I was just getting to the golf course and Todd was just leaving. He informed us that he has just shot 18 on 18 holes. It took all the fun out of playing, knowing I could never be as good. So I left. I could go on on things he accomplished , but I think you all get the picture. My only regret is that I never personally witnessed any of his feats. Any tell you how often I “just missed it”. Like when I walked into the gym just I time to see him airball a 3 pointer. He let me know that it was the first he’d missed all day. Before that shot he had hit over 2000 in a row. I felt bad about potentially distracting him.

@@troywright359 back then nobody cared that much either. thats what walter day had to do, to say that it wasn't super niche and convince the journalists that it wasn't really niche. the score enabled todd recognition in a fairly small circle. like 99.999% of gaming nerds were even unaware of him. it didn't give him an avenue to make a decent living or anything either, to be a twitch star or something. it did enable him to pose around in their weird twin galaxies subculture and that was enough I suppose. it was a really weird subculture though where everyone seemingly focused on this one thing that was special just for them for them to be like a superhero player of that one thing even when in reality there were already videogame competitions, quake clans competing, subspace teams with weekly practices and so forth and they were still in their little circle telling each other that they're the best videogame players there ever were watching some vhs tapes from each other while there were already people competing against each other for money elsewhere in far larger sub cultures than their little club.

I submitted my fair share of console record scores to Twin Galaxies in the early 2000s. It was kinda complicated, you had to film yourself playing, from powering on your console to end of game with no interruptions, and then ship the VHS tape to TG. Even a blurry part in the vid or changing the angle could invalidate your record. I always said it couldn't be that hard for everyone, there's gotta be some "friends of TG" that had it easier. After 20 years, I rest my case.

I'm curious how much Walter Day knew about what was going on. I want to believe he's just a trusting person, even to the point of gullibility, but I can only assume the truth is a bit closer to the notion that he didn't _really_ care whether scores were all fair and true. Otherwise I don't see how he would have allowed judges to approve scores for friends, or treated anybody as a "trusted" player whom you could always expect true submissions.

Honestly, his claimed record on dragster wasnt even the worse. His claimed score of 5.51 isnt that far away from the theoretically best time of 5.57 His claims on other games were much worse. For wabbit, a game in which a rabbit and a farmer fights over a farm, he claims a score of 1,698, even though the game literally ends once you reach 1,300; and the score only increases in increments of 5. This shows that he either never actually played the game or that he was so obsessed with his high scores that he literally made them up from scratch. Another example? centipede for the atati 5200. Todds claimed score is 65,000,000 (65 million points) The actual, certified high score? 58,078. These examples show far better how much of a liar he realy is.

I'm binging the Rogers/Mitchell "saga" of Jobst these days, and I realize just how much time, money and efforts the frauds have expended in trying to cling to their titles. Because they literally have nothing else to live for, whereas the people with legit accomplishments they threw shade on just accepted the fact and moved on with their life. Being this spiteful and petty really is its own punishment.

Just imagine what they could have done in that time if they spent it on improving themselves instead of on trying to convince everyone of their greatness. For one thing if their records are real, they could used all that time trying to replicate those records. Especially Billy could have by now most earned that score in honest way since it's at least physically possible. If they had over the decades proven themselves as talented, honest and humble people they could have maintained some credibility. But because both of them have shown themselves to be talentless, stupid, greedy and malicious, it's easy to believe their claims were fabricated. The two have done nothing but proven that they would be the exact kind of people to twist the facts for their own gain because that's all they've been doing in their lawsuits. And what a magnificent redemption story it could have been if they took the narrative to their own hands, admitted how easy it was to manipulate corrupted Twin Galaxies, apologized and then went to become actual pro gamers in some other way. But neither of them even attempted that because they don't have what it takes.

Just as a little side-note: the field of artificial intelligence is WAY older than you think. It has through several "winters" throughout the past 70 years or so, often due to years of disappointing results, but it has been around for as long as general-purpose computers have been a thing (AKA, basically from the late 1950s). Research in this field was done when computers using vacuum tubes was still a thing. Various forms of techniques in the machine learning field go way back, and in the early 1980s there was already research on the use of neural networks for this purpose. Furthermore, Chess is a VASTLY more complex problem to solve than a very simple game like Dragster, you really can't compare the two. (I'm pointing this out just as a side-note, I also do not necessarily believe that Activision had this so-called simulation running.)

the programmer had probably just a pretty good guess. there's not that much going on in the game loop and the optimal play is pretty straightforward. the times being what they were he possibly just plotted out it on paper when sketching the assembly code and figuring out what were good limits to get the game times into the region he wanted. it's funny how todd and mitchell talk up the companies taking that stuff super serious, like they would dig into it that much. like how rodgers talks about this being his chance to get "recognition" when it was a way to send people advertising merch, like literal chrischan level thinking. todd just got the gig with activision due to making himself available and known to them, that's how you get that such gigs - he couldn't even put 1+1 together about that to get better employment or to learn something worthwhile out of the time there.

The entire bill, including three days in the hospital, was $279. Insurance paid $250 and my parents paid $29. It was hand-written, on an invoice, that looked like a restaurant check. This was at a large Chicago hospital, too. Twenty nine frickin’ dollars!!! I can’t even take my wife, to see a movie, for $29. I really need to go through those boxes again.

Now that I think of it, the only "evil" thing Wario did was steal Mario's castle (that was never alluded to before or referred to since) and to be fair, Mario was a bit of a d*ck to Wario when they were kids. Heck, even when Wario becomes an entrepeneur, at least he doesn't stoop to the levels of the likes of EA, who pad out their AAA games with microtransactions. In conclusion, what I'd like to say, is that Todd Rogers is a little sh*t who doesn't even deserve to be compared to Wario.

"... so when someone makes a claim they were published in a book, it's theoretically possible to check to see if it's true." Yet another hilarious understatement made funnier by Jobst's unflappable delivery. And another tough break for Rodgers is that there are still A LOT of copies of the Guinness books from back then, aimlessly hanging around in attics yard sales and secondhand stores. The things are like a paperback equivalent to dust bunnies.

@@nimblegoat Clear photos of the Dragster numbers show that they’re pretty distinct. A 1 has the bottom and top tail, and the 7 is curved so they’d hopefully not look to similar. Going back on various forums from back when recording video games was pretty shoddy, they blur enough that the top and bottom parts become completely blurred out due to being so thin, and the middle sections both turn into a straight line. So I guess it’s possible they misread a 7 as a 1, especially if the Polaroid was dogs***.
