Went to an arcade after 4 years...
Magnet_Eye:
that flaming finger looks more like a cool jukebox to me...
btw, what is a "Flaming Finger" anyway? Sounds kind of perverted in a gay way. :o
RayB:
TO the person who wondered how the game plays/if I played it: I did. And I didn't understand where the timer was... The game uses LED lights to light up the screen, not a monitor.
paigeoliver:
Ray, which D&B did you go to?
The one I go to has all the same games.

It's up here in the suburbs north of Toronto (city called "Vaughn" to be specific).

RE: Galaga.... those yellow guys move really fast and dive bomb you in the corner - the corners are not safe at higher levels! Its been a long while since I was the man at galaga, but I've been through every level (I think, it just repeats only faster) and though I cannot remember exactly where, those guys appear probably around level 15-20... Thats pretty early in the game though. I remember when I was 10 or so, playing galaga for upwards of 3 hours on a single quarter, me and my friends would trade off and take breaks to eat pizza, bathroom, etc. We'd end up quitting because we had to leave.
I haven't tried it yet on mame, but there was a bug in one of the arcade versions of galaga that you could exploit to cause the attackers to stop firing for the rest of the game. You had to leave the two left most bees alive in the first stage, and then avoid them for about 30 minutes until they stop shooting. Once they stop shooting, kill them and no other enemy in the game will shoot at you again. I have no idea which rom this would be in though. I'll have to try it out and see.
