I using a vax 8650. An int is 32 bits and a short is 16 bits. If your score is more than 32767 and you save the game, then it gets save into 16 bits which can only handle 32767 max. Try making it(everything a long). I'd appreciate a repost of the source with all the new stuff you added if that possible. I can't reach you through the email.
