Mechanics

Score doubling

Enemy point values, data entry'd as if they were decimals (actually hexadecimal) -> double (still hex) -> convert to BCD by adding each byte with BCD arithmetic (68k abcd instruction) -> display as decimal on screen.

200pt -> 0x200 -> double -> 0x400 -> convert to BCD -> 400

300pt -> 0x300 -> double -> 0x600 -> convert to BCD -> 600

400pt -> 0x400 -> double -> 0x800 -> convert to BCD -> 800

500pt -> 0x500 -> double -> 0xA00 -> convert to BCD -> 1000

600pt -> 0x600 -> double -> 0xC00 -> convert to BCD -> 1200

700pt -> 0x700 -> double -> 0xE00 -> convert to BCD -> 1400

800pt -> 0x800 -> double -> 0x1000 -> convert to BCD -> 1000

900pt -> 0x900 -> double -> 0x1200 -> convert to BCD -> 1200

950pt -> 0x950 -> double -> 0x12A0 -> convert to BCD -> 1300

(the game doesn't have any enemies around base score 0xA00 - 0xF00)

1000pt -> 0x1000 -> double -> 0x2000 -> convert to BCD -> 2000

Kingdom Grandprix, the game where 950 X 2 points is less than 700 X 2 points.
