I think Hook in particular is pretty high at 400 million. When it comes to Stern games, Ripley's and WOF are no casual walk in the park at 75 million each.

Back in the day it seemed most Bally/Williams 90's games had defaults set pretty low to allow people to get high scores quickly. Data East and Sega liked to make people work a little more. Stern used the 75 million benchmark for awhile over a few games rather generically. Other manufacturers are all over the board depending on games. What specific games do you think had the hardest default GC to beat?

Quoted from djblouw:

Another vote for NGG. Haven't come anywhere near the top.

What is the default high score on NGG? I got 138 million on it once on route, but I remember that game taking forever and I don't remember ever really even breaking 100 million besides that game.

Dirty Harry arrests was it for me....think you have to get 4?

Right, default is 3 I believe, but you have to beat it and get 4. That is not easy for sure.

Quoted from BrianBannon:

After over a year on location, I think I only saw one guy beat the default GC score on Tommy, 1 billion points is a tough score to beat.

Tommy, Last Action Hero, Hook and I am sure there are others...Data Easts. They really liked to make you work for it.
