This is beyond awesome.

It doesn't work 100% of the time.  There will be mommy waves where a mommy gets programmed right away and all hell breaks loose whether Mikey is still around or not.  That's when you just have to grab what you can and get out of the wave like normal.

I could be wrong, but it seems that they sometimes give up on mikey if you pick up a certain mommy.  Basically just kill all the brains before picking anyone up.

I thought my score of 400K+ would have been a contender.....

of course I did it on the XBOX360's live! version of the game.

Awesome! Robotron is by far my favourite arcade game!

We've got one of those Arcade Legends stand-ups here at work, and I was able to hit the 1,312,300 mark.
The downside to these cabs is that the joysticks are just Happs Competition sticks, with oval tops.  Sometimes in a heated battle, my hand slips off the joystick because of the way I hold the oval-top (as if I were holding a ball-top joystick).
