Hey Guys,
My son is 3 1/2 years old and if he behaves for my wife during the day, I'll take him done to my arcade room in the basement and we'll play some games before bed.
My most recent addition to my collection is a Centipede Cabaret that I had gotten way back in January but it took me near two months to actually go pick up. Wasn't planning on keeping it honestly, but at the time the price was too good to pass up and it's a classic as well.
Anyway my son has been playing it pretty much every since I got it, he loves the trak-ball on it. I've probably had it here with him playing it for maybe 3 weeks total, probably he has only played it 10 separate occasions maximum.
Usually when we're done playing, I'm playing Berzerk and he's playing Centipede, he loves hearing the Berzerk machine talk, and he says what the machine says constantly, its really cute honestly.
Anyway he and I were playing like normal, and I turn my head to ask him if he's having fun, and I just guess I assumed he'd just was spinning the trak-ball and hitting buttons randomly, but when I turned my head I noticed his score was 5,800ish points. Nothing record worthy, but still you have to have some concept of the game to get a score over 1,000.
So I stop playing and I tell my son I want to watch him play a game. So he starts playing and to my utter amazement, he hits player 1 start, then proceeds to hold the fire button down and use the trak-ball to move his player around the screen and he is actually aiming for the centipede and spiders on the screen! I'm watching not really believing what I'm seeing. The game only last like two minutes, but his ending score was 10,061 points!
I could NOT believe it! I was seriously contemplating trading that Centipede for something else, but now I'm keeping it, its my son's favorite game and he's getting really good at it . . . and he's not even 4 yet!
Ok end of story, just had to share that with everyone!
Thanks
