- Go to Early Days Of Video Game Scoring
Wow. This is pretty awesome videogame trivia. I've always wondered about scoring mechanics and how irrelevant scores became as games progressed. They didn't really matter as much as finishing the game or playing it stylishly. Not to mention their worth was, well, non-existant. Here, have a 100 points. A thousand. Two. Five billion.
I can only think of a few recent games that measured your skill in points, and the one that sticks out the most to me is Crazy Taxi and its sequels. There was nothing like racking up $99,999,999,999 and leaving your initials on the machine for all to see. That was the mark of a person who truly knew the game inside-out.

Ah, oldschool video games! My parents got me one of those Atari joysticks that you plug into your TV and it has like 8 games programmed into it. Total nostalgia right there!
