I'm actually a natural arcade fiend..(cept pac man and dk). But I'd rather be aces at restoring and electronics, so much more useful!
I dont do well on Sinistar either, my wife has the high scores on that game
Im pretty goo on most of my others, except DK

Not me. I'm good at pretty much any game I play. I think it's just natural talent.

i suck, but that's cause i play mine infrequently and randomly... as sad as it is, it took me a couple credits to get past level one of dk yesterday, haven't played it in over a month.
I'm only average at most games and only excel at maybe two.
I take pride in knowing everything I can about as many games as I can, making them look nice and inviting and knowing that the friend I have who may exceed in scoring also my suck at carpentry, painting, restoration, electronics, and aesthetics.
And knowing I like to help my friends makes the hobby worthwhile.
you know, sometimes excelling is no fun. i mean, if you could get to the split screen in pac, it would get old pretty quick and i'd probably get rid of the game at that time.

I'm with you! At the show in Seattle, I really proved to myself that I enjoy finding, repairing and restoring them, but not playing them... I do also like to see my 2 boys enjoy playing them and seeing how with XBox, XBox360, Wii, GameCube and Gameboys in the house, the arcade still get a fair share of play time...

The only game I own that I can play halfway decent is Sprint 2. Every other game, I suck at.

You need to find a new hobby. Why would you bother if you don't even enjoy playing them? That don't make sense to me. I've loved playing games since I was a kid though.

I should add, that ArcRevival got his initials in the #1 spot on my Berzerk machine with just one attempt, so if he sucks at arcade games, then I REALLY suck at arcade games
I'm OK at some games, crappy at others... I am certainly not "great" at any game.
I guess I don't have the time to play all my games to be that good at them. I concentrate on one for a while and set a goal, and then I move on. I'm working on 200K for my DK, I'm at 140K so I still have a little way to go. I'm getting good at the 3rd elevators, but it's the stupid crap that keeps getting me. I'll probably move to Galaga next.

Depends on the game... Some I suck at like DK. JR. never could get a handle on this game. Some I am great at.

I suck at pretty much all of the top classics, such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Defender, Missile Command, Asteroids, etc. Those games don't really interest me either in terms of gameplay; I just don't find them fun. I would like to own the machines (especially Missile Command and Defender), but I'd probably never play them much.

What was the score?

At the risk of both of us having our official KLOV membership cards revoked, I can not and will not share that information. In other words, MY score was so low that I finally got to see if the "extra man at 5k points" dipswitch worked when Dave played a game.
