I just saw a funny message pop up after putting in my initials on Galaga. I've used WAR for my high score name since 1985. But since I bumped the GF's name off the board I used ASS instead.
When I finished I saw a funny message pop up for about 1-2 seconds, all in red. I wasn't expecting it so I didn't have time to read it all. But it said something like "You hear Mark yelling up from the basement…" and some more that I didn't catch.
WTF? Why have I never seen this before? Is it an Easter egg on the high score kit? Is it because I entered ASS? Is it something special for the 5th spot in the table? All of the above? Did the GF hack it just to mess with me? (unlikely) Did I dream the whole thing? At 8:30 on Monday? That seems more likely. What?
I want to read the rest of it but I played 2 more games and couldn't even make it to 100k (suck!) so I couldn't repro it.
Of course the forum search was no help and Google has been worse than useless for years. It doesn't help that I'm on my phone. Ugh.
