Скачать или смотреть How I Broke Double Dragon’s 18-Year High Score World Record (506,910 Points)

For nearly 18 years, the world record score for the NES version of Double Dragon stood at 470,2200 points.

Most players — including myself — never questioned that number. But after years of studying the game through speedruns, no-damage playthroughs, and an unusual challenge called Forehead of Justice (beating the game using only headbutts), I started to see Double Dragon differently.

When I began researching how scoring actually works — and how Twin Galaxies defines an official high score — I realized something surprising:

The ceiling wasn’t skill.

It was perspective.

Using modern routing and a deeper understanding of enemy behavior, spawn manipulation, and scoring mechanics, I was able to push the record to 506,910 points, breaking a record that had stood for nearly two decades.

This video documents that journey — from infinite point experiments, to the realization that the highest-scoring attack in the game was something most players ignore, to the final record-breaking run.

Official submission has been sent to Twin Galaxies for verification.

If you grew up hearing “50,000 points in Double Dragon” from The Wizard… this one’s for you.
