Galaga

[forest4585]

Thanks guys!

 @hansolo77  I'm all about having fun and supporting the community.  I love competing at the arcade, but at home it's for fun and I look forward to playing some games I haven't played in awhile.

@GimmeClassics  No offense taken and I understand completely. Lot of people only care about scores:  I'm the opposite.  I love arcade games and I'm lucky I'm not too far from my favorite arcade, Galloping Ghost in Brookfield, Illionois.

Time to play some Metal Slug X tonight.

[hansolo77]

Glad to have you with us!

I took a break from Metal Slug X and played one of my best Galaga games in awhile.  I know I'm capable of throwing up a million...just need to practice more.

[hansolo77]

Not sure about using a trophy as a way to say thanks.. but as a reward?  Definitely.  It's the best I can do!  You gotta give up some secrets!

Yeah...Forest is good at this game.   Remember when you could only get like 100k

[forest4585]

Best secrets I give is to study the way the enemies come out during formation.  Also, memorize the challenge stages.  I've put a crazy amount of time in this game since I owned it on the NES.  Definitely my favorite game of all time...I have a marquee on my wall at home and my friend made me galaga figures out of wood :-)

Would be such a great picture...if you couldn't see the power cable!

I took a break from Galaga 88.  This is my personal best for Galaga, and hopefully by the end of the year, I can hit a million. 

[hansolo77]

Wow you almost tripled your previous score!  Was Galaga'88 just too much?   I'm impressed buddy!  Just making sure; you ARE on the hardest setting right?

I'm still enjoying Galaga 88, but I really needed a break from it ( I haven't been able to break 200,000 again).  And yes I'm playing with the hardest difficulty...my hands hurt like hell today

Why do I keep getting so close in the games I put the most time into

[hansolo77]

Don't feel bad!  I suck at this game too.  @forest4585 came in out of nowhere and shows us who's boss!   You'll get there.

It was you I was so close to, and you dont suck with 100k

[hansolo77]

I'm still trying to improve that score.  I see Forest's and I'm shamed.

[Luigimaker]

Whoo! another one I have been playing since the start just trying to ge-

hmm higher positions seem really doable

[Luigimaker]

Hey I was right

[hansolo77]

Stinker!  You knocked me off the board!

Sorry I've been gone for awhile from the board.  I qualified for the Galaga World Championship in Santa Fe, New Mexico later this month!  scorewars.com

Here is a video of my qualifying run.  Rank D, no bonus ships, 5 ships to start....1,149,580!

Always great to see an old game updated with a new score.  It's even better when you're besting your previous submission.  And you moved up 2 places too!  Awesome!

I'm just gonna hang out down in the +10 section with this 51,500pt score. Was trying to hold off on submitting until I hit the top ten, but holy crap my Galaga is rusty.

[hansolo77]

Meh, could be worse!
