Without thread derailment, I had a very good excuse. I was in Korea & Japan for 2.5 weeks. Went to so many arcades in Japan. Apart from being deafeningly loud, they were pure joy. Except for some of the newer games with non-standard cabinets, most games were fighters & SHMUPs. I played a whoooole lotta new SHMUPs, even one with a "SHMUPs Skill Test" mode!
So, I've got my SHMUP game on!

PS--played a couple of Astro Blaster games last night before Son of Phoenix--got only ~10k. Those randomly-moving aliens are a bear!

Can we make a novice category (i.e. people who have never won a high score yet?). Some of us like playing but suck too bad! :D
Maybe like a little league for us noobs, and the rest of you can stay in the majors?
It's still fun to play along, but Ive never even got close enough to any of you guys to bother posting... I guess I need more play time!

These competitions have been won by plenty of "noobs", as you put it. The ones that win over and over sometimes are the only people to make an effort. We've mostly kept the pros out.
There's no need for another competition thread.

I agree, wasnt looking to start another one. It was just an idea as it felt like the same people always win, and I figured some of the players were more pro than most. I'll just have to try harder.
