Galaga High Score One Handed
« on: June 21, 2007, 01:37:46 am »
I'm right handed, but i told my cousin that I could beat his high score one handed with my left hand.  And I did 70,840 was what I got, I even got the 10k bonus for the first challenge level.  I use my palm to move the joy stick, and my middle finger to fire.  Anybody else tried this?

That's strange!!!!!

A couple of weeks ago I was drinking and smoking and what not, and then I started Galaga, and
played it with my left hand while holding the cig with the right(I'm righthanded). I had to go
upstairs again, so no hiscore. But actually it's not THAT difficult, and it looks cool!!!!

 :cheers:

Must be a MAME cabinet? I'm not sure an adult hand can reach the fire button and joystick at the same time on an original cabinet.

yeah, I wondered, too and checked. I think it's doable.

Hey, remember the one-legged DDR dude. That's it - we need to create a special arcade olympics! Not just for those who are hobbled, but for those daring and determined individuals who wish to play in a hobbled fashion.

So what exactly were you doing with that free hand. 

Idle hands are the devils playground....
