There wasn't a high-score scoreboard in TurboPlay, TurboForce or
DuoWorld.  However, there was one-off contest for getting a high-score
in Super Star Soldier (5 minute Caravan Mode) ...

I think the TG-16 magazines shied away from contest like these because
they required technical prowess and weren't as inclusive as, say, an
art contest.  I'll look and see if I missed any other high-score info
/ contests... but I'm pretty certain there aren't any others.
