Is there any way to kill the high score data for Gauntlet on XBox Live Arcade? Thanks to a bug in the game (thanks, Microsoft) all the high scores are now owned by ZZZ, who scored hundreds of millions of points with every character. Which makes it difficult to get the achievements for topping the high score table. So either I need to reset the table, or track down ZZZ and learn some of his mad Gauntlet skillz, then spend a month or two playing to rack up a high score.

The achievement is to be #1 on the leaderboards? Not the highscore of your particular emulated arcade stand, like in Smash TV? Well then you'll never get that achievement, sorry to say. Same with that Quake 4 achievement, its one only early adopters of games will be able to get.

You only need to get 1st place with each character on the ingame score board which is like 8000 points. It is really pretty easy.

iapetus said:You're missing the point. The bug has caused the top score of my local emulated game to be that high. Identical scores across all four characters, all scored by ZZZ. It's not the Live leaderboard, just my local one. And I want it reset.
Shouldn't there be a save file to delete, like for high scores? Or, alternately, couldn't you delete the game off your hard drive and re-download it? Then just make sure you disconnect from Live every time you want to play it so the scores don't get updated.
