High Scores   General Information Uploading High Scores A new feature in Oil Tycoon! v5.0 is to post your high scores to the Internet. High scores are measured by the amount of net worth you have at the end of the game. When you upload your high score to the Internet, the top scores and downloaded into your computer so you can see where you stand, and your score will be ranked in the list. However, your score will not be visible on the web site or to other people until a few days later. This is because we have to check the list of scores before it is updated. Note: Please refrain from using any expletives or other offensive language in the name you choose to post to the Internet. If you violate this rule, your score will be removed.
