What is PINemHi LeaderBoard

PINemHi LeaderBoard is a program that catches the score and specialscores from player 1
The normal score doesn't have to be on the hiscore table of the game, even scores like 1000 can be submitted
Special scores however can only be submitted if they are over the score of the hiscore table.
Special scores are for instance , 20 loops (back to the future) or 50 martians killed (attack from mars) and so on...

If you have a nice score, just don't start a new game but just quit the game, PINemHi LeaderBoard will do the rest
When quitting a game you don't have to rush , just as long as you don't start a new game the score(s) can be retrieved
The scores are sent to the website http://www.pinemhi.com/index.html

In the new version of PINemHi Leaderboard it is not necessary to use a plugin for a frontend
There are challenges, badges to be earned and you can see scores from you and your friends on your cabinet/pc
