The score stops at 999,999 usually, because there are only 6 places for digits in the score display on the rocket screen and top scores list. There is a game genie code that uncaps the top score by displaying different characters as a substitute for "10".
On the rocket screen, a 1 million score has an S at the beginning, but on the top scores list it shows as "A20353". 1.1m shows as B, 1.2 as C and so on.
I was wondering where you had been.
