Hi Score Competition #23: Galaga

Cakemeister:

12 hours for a 16 million games sounds right.

Hint: Prioritize the red guys and learn the entry patterns.

quarterstringer:

587,970

This was one of my favorite games at the arcade, but I forgot the patterns on the challenging stages. I used to be able to end the game at 999,990. I never knew about the 2nd player showing the millions digit, but I sure wasn't going to spend 50 cents back then to play two games at once.

can't you tell ?

(I wish)  >:D

I'll admit it........ I always sucked at Galaga!!! LOL

Ugh, a couple of brief, informal, quickie games yielded only 109k or so for me.  Not gonna happen.  I think I'll work on my Alcon skills this week!

A couple notes:

1 - Wow, it's tricky to play if you're not standing right in line w/ the monitor.  I've got a monster 4-player panel, so I'm offset a little bit.  It sure makes it hard to line up some high-accuracy shots, like releasing your captured ship...

2 - I seem to no longer be good at keeping double ships going--they never last more than a couple of stages.  I know I was better when I was young...so, what do the experts recommend as far as doubling up your ships?  Do it whenever possible?  Double up only up to a certain stage, where it gets too hard to maintain doubles?


Thanks,
-Jason
