'88 Games is my most played games. We've got a neighborhood competition going on now for the world records.

I still reign supreme with 16,000 in skeet shooting.

Robotron, hands down.
TMNT (Son's choice)
Mortal Kombat

I used to play Track and field until I found the "Run like hell" cheat.

Time pilot, Galaga and Gauntlet2

Capt Commando (So what if I like a Zombie with twin shivs). Three Wonders (either of the games with the Elves(?) not the block game). Gauntlet II (though Smash TV and Total Carnage get alot of action when I have friends over).

I'm glad that there are lots of Galagas! This may be an aside, but what is your best high score w/o continues?

Mine was around 127,000 on a Galaga/Ms. Pacman machine, (Not my own arcade!). Unfortunately, continues were on, so the highscore of the machine was 999,000.

JeSo · « **Reply #23 on:** October 06, 2003, 10:20:18 pm »

Mortal Kombat (mainly just the first one)
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Undercover Cops
World Class Bowling
Galaga/Frogger/Robotron when I'm in the mood.

I used to play NBA Maximum Hangtime *all* the time, until I finished it (beat every team), haven't touched it since.

ALSO: Galaga gets a lot of play all the time!

Apollo · « **Reply #25 on:** October 06, 2003, 11:11:53 pm »

My best score on Galaga 378,000 without continues ( but with using the no fire cheat ) --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- I gave up and hit escape.
Without the cheat around 200,000.

Todd H · « **Reply #26 on:** October 06, 2003, 11:19:37 pm »

It USED to be 100 percent.

I play Galaga's on location all the time, and I cannot tell the difference. Whatever it is is so minor that I don't even really think it warrants a notice.

I used that cheat in the arcade once, and turned the game over (999,999+1) and played a while longer...got bored.

Playing now, I get around 300,000 no cheats or anything.

I knocked out a score around 300K once on a reunion machine that was set to speed up. It was just a fluke though. My high score at home is somewhere around 220K.
