I've been playing classic arcade games, Berzerk and Mappy mostly. Here are my high scores. Berzerk 10,460 (dark cyan robots, 8th type) Dig Dug 122,540 (round 21) Donkey Kong 92,300 (level 4, 75m) Flicky 354,450 (round 30) Galaga 93,610 (stage 17) Joust 52,100 (wave 7) Mappy 155,770 (round 17) Mr. Do! 201,000 (scene 18) Ms. Pac-Man 60,630 (round 11) Pengo 68,600 (act 13) Q*bert 79,750 (level 4, round 3) Rally-X 59,930 (round 6) Do I have any brave challengers amongst you apes?
I've not played any of those games, couple of years before my time I think. I'm playing Streets of Rage 2 on PS3 right now (had 1 + 2 on Mega Drive and have 1 + 2 + 3 on laptop) I'll post a high score if I get one. Playing through on hardcore right now.
I used to hold the high score on a Galaga system in some trash bar. It’s really the only Arcade game I was ever any good at.
Galaga? Just played it now, three credits. 1 - I got owned . . . from behind. 2 - I beat the default high score (20,000) with 22,660. 3 - I got to stage 13 and 70,330 points. That any good? What do I need to beat the world famous trash bar score?
I’ve yet to find a simulator that is exactly the same as the arcade version. The original arcade had some patterns you could run. If you get lucky on the random missile drops you can get pretty far with the patterns. The emulators I’ve used mess the patterns up because the horizontal playing field is shortened. Maybe the Xbox is the same though. It’s been many years ago but I think it was 250,000 or 280,000. That’s not anywhere near world record high but it was good enough for a bar full of drunk people.
Galaga take 4 - 93,610 (stage 17) I didn't get shot until stage 13. Bitches started picking up speed and kamikrashing me in the corners. I'll try again once every day or two, for a week.
I played Galaga a few more times. Scores ranged from 70K to 90K. The game is annoying. So it's Game Over for Galaga. I shattered my Flicky score (273,090) with 354,450.
I pretty much suck at every single classic game there is. Dig Dug was my favorite and I could never get past level 3. I was actually sort of good at Pole Position but not anymore.
Switch to Virgin Mobile and get a cheap android phone so we can play games like wordfeud and what not.
