Title: Galaga!
Post by: ArcadeJunkie2099 on August 29, 2013, 07:19:18 am
Figured I'd start off, with my Galaga scores as Galaga in all of it's incarnations are probably my favorite games of all time. Digdug is a close second, but Galaga has always been my first love.  Unfortunately, I'm at work, so, I'll post pictures later today.

Galaga 88: 120510 <=== Most recent.
Galaga: 320430 <=== Most recent.

You are a rockstar. This is the best I could do. Probably my most intense Galaga game ever.

I used to have a cocktail Galaga that I got around 350,000.  But then I sold it and got it in Jamma in a stand-up cabinet.  Now I can only get about 130,000.  So, I guess the cocktail was set on an easier level.

I tell you one thing...I can't get CRAP on Galaga 3.  It's about the hardest game I've ever played.

These are good scores. I am lucky to break 100k on Galaga. Great work!

I was able to barely break 100K on Galaga. I got 120K recently so I consider that a huge victory!!

I also had around 120k recently. My highest score ever at Galaga  :-[
Always trying to shoot the bigger aliens while they are entering or coming down at me to get more points but this is often a risk vs. reward thing when the smaller ones are dive bombing and circeling around my ship.
I guess that´s one of the reasons why the original Galaga is still my favorite shooter.

I F'in love Galaga, but so far I can just break 100k. It was cool seeing the bugs change colors the first time around. I was like "ooh I never made it this far"

I can score 300k max, but there are guys that are scoring millions of points, I have no idea how they do it

Try playing Gaplus, I have video of CrazyKongFan on my YouTube channel playing my Gaplus, he is insanely good.

I went into an arcade that had three Galaga's next to each other, my friend looked at me and said "galagalagalagalaga..." it was funny when I was 13.

I got into a huge Galaga kick and was playing a lot.  My best is 1,419,650 using TG settings.
