Curios to know. What was your friend's arcade record on, Nibbler?
I know a guy who went for the world record but fell short due to extreme fatigue.
Tricks to remember.
- You can only stop on flats (ie no corners/turns). Using flats comes in very handy later when the nibbler speed starts to get crazy.
- Whenever going into a roundabout, always hold your joystick so nibbler escapes and stops on a flat.
I used to love this game but playing it with my U360 (even though I love them) doesn't do a dedicated 4-way justice.
I believe I got about 500K the last time I tried. I used to play the machine for hours on a quarter, but that was a life time ago.
Playing Nibbler at the local arcade is how I met my wife, who BTW was a pretty kick @ss player herself. She admits to having hated me cause I used to hog the machine, but I share and thats's how we became friends. She now uses the joystick excuse also because she's so rusty.
I'll give it a whirl for old time sakes.

PS--I used a stinky 4-way stick, too--didn't detract from the stink...

1 billion! :o He was actually the first person to score a billion on a video game (BITD) He's tried again a few times recently (he has his own machine now) but has come up a little short due to various issues (blisters, fatigue, etc)
Cool story about meeting your wife...see guys, Nibbler isn't too bad of a game ;D

I'm glad it's over. I really like this game but I had stop playing, because I was afraid I'm going to destroy my own equipment in anger. I was steaming because I'd swear I was trying to go left or right etc and it always managed to go into wrong direction. Perfect controls is a MUST with this game.
