Title: Galaga High Score One Handed
Post by: Hawk Daddy 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!!!!

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.

No it's the original dedicated galaga machine that I restored, everything is original.

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....
