the day i score 1000000 on tapper....

[abispac]

I remember i was 9 years old or younger when tapper came into a convinience store near by my house, what a great game, it looked almost like a real beer serving machine too me. I remember that a guy played the machine , and he was very good at it, he scored 400000 points, and i was like,, WOW this guy its good. So after a bunch of quarters, maybe more then ten dollars i remember one lucky day i made more the 400000, in fact i pass the 500k,600k,700k,800k,900k, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn iwas so exited, i was on fire.....then i got a bit greedy and thinked to myself, "ill just stop rigt on 1000000, just to make it hard for ""AVA"" (those where his highscore ignitials) to defeat mi highscore"
What a shame, i got a very sad sorprice that when i reached the 999,999 after that....PANG , all back to 000000's .
I was like ........WTF?, then i though, maybe ill still getting the first place, some how i went into the 200k score again and loose my game, but my sorprice was that i had the 2nd place instead of the first one....      man i was so desapointed , and couldnt velieve what happened, "AVA" still had the 1rst place and he never knew he was beaten by a 9 year old. Some how after that i could never reach a score longer than what "AVA" had, i gues he was blessed by the Lord.....
And that makes me wonder, if that its a bug on tapper thacan be fixed.......cus i will try to defeat "AVA" after 20 some years later....LOL

happened to me on Asteroids

Same here on Juno First.

I've read also this happens on Galaga but only player 1. So what you do is start a two player game and go for the score on player 2.
