grandma and her apples , doesn't take over 5 min to get 54, all of his other scores are a little slow here and there but not as slow as apples

If the scoring is low, and the whole point of the game is to get a high score, then I don't think that person would be cheating.

Also, I don't know if it's still the same now or if it's been changed, but in the past I've had issues with arcades that only saved the first time I did and only saved the score thereafter. So say I'd been playing a game for 5 minutes and couldn't figure out how to play the game (so the score wouldn't go up, but my time would) then if I tried again and played it for 2 minutes and got all apples, in the past it would still show 5 mins as the time shown but the score as 54.

As I said though, it may not be an issue anymore, but it has been for me in the past with many arcade sites, including my own.

But in general, if the person is slow at it's score, and it isn't a high score, then you shouldn't really worry. You should be more worried about someone who has a really high score say like 100000000000000000000 in under 1 minute =p

Hope this helps. Sorry if it doesn't, if it doesn't then I'll let tez take the stand =P

There is a break between levels so this game could take as long as you want it to and even playing straight through , if you machine is slower than mine ...it will take you longer to get the same score as me.

There is not a problem here with this game.

there's no replay option on the game...of course there's the excuse of the time on the start up screen and if it applies (I forget for this game) if there is a break between levels that is determined by the player having to hit continue to next level or somesuch....

I didn't mean a replay option, I meant if they played the game again after submitting the score it's a possibility they could have played it again and the first time was still the time shown, regardless of the score change. It's happened to me before. But in general, someone isn't cheating just because they're taking too long on a game. That was the point I was trying to make :p
