Back on September 15, 2022, my older son scored 816K and got to level 91 on Turkey Shoot:

Yesterday I had a game party and my younger son finished Turkey Shoot. Finished level 100 with a score of 730K and then got a million point bonus for finishing for a final score of 1.730M, with at least 5 lives still in the tank. I didn't know the game had a finish. At the end, the game goes through a celebration that lasts at least a minute. I've never seen or heard of this before. Wish I had known as I would have recorded it. I wish the game kept the level number. If either ever gets close again, I'll try to record it. He was amazing. A couple times he was down to his last guy and built the lives back up again.

Funny thing is, neither one rarely plays the game. My younger son hadn't played it at all since leaving for school in the fall and now home for Christmas break, this was his second game. He likes I, Robot better (and Safe Cracker pinball). (My older son likes Food Fight and Rampart better).

That's pretty incredible!

Also, for sure I've noticed that if you haven't played a game in some time and go back later to play it. You ALWAYS do better for some reason. ALWAYS.

Congrats!

And this is exactly why I rarely play my games. I'm just working on improving my scores!!
 
Neat! I didn't even know this game existed. Seriously.

The important thing: Did he have fun?

Yes, definitely.

Even more impressive in my opinion in that there were people talking to him throughout, people moving in and out playing other games right next to him and just general distractions with people talking in general, making noises and all the other games making noises.

That does add a level of complication. Distractions are hard to screen out.

Sounds like he could be a future Air Traffic Controller......if he wants.
 
Pretty awesome, your boys would be number 2 & 3 on Twin Galaxies records list:

Time to start recording!!
 
cool! I never got far in turkey shoot when I owned one. it was fun to play, never knew it had an end. the million bonus explains why the top score is so much higher than 2nd place.
 
That story, 1/3rd of the population has been transformed into turkey´s... :ROFLMAO: Well, at least your thanksgiving day will get way cheaper than now :D

I would definitely make a video for twin galaxies if I had the skill!
 
I love that game. One of my regrets that I sold mine. I was kind of a 5 -8 level guy. lol. I love it though.
 
I never knew that game had an ending! I wasn't very good at it, but I was a lot better at it when I was a kid than I am now! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your party, now I'm even more sorry to have missed this amazing spectacle!
