I am sure Twin Galaxies won't call me legit because I did it on the Braze Multipede kit, but I finally retook the HS on my Centipede last night. I had kids crying and trying to crawl in my lap, kids needing stuff, kids yelling at me and kids pulling me away while I was playing (wife was out of town on business), and I still managed to do it. Mind you this all took about 5 minutes or less, but SEX resides at the top of the Centipede HS table once again. That is all.
 
Awesome!

Score?

Don't laugh, as I know you're a pretty damned good player on several games, but 49,642 is the Centi score to beat at my place. Perhaps pathetic to some, but it was a major feat for me. The kids caused me to lose at least 3 of my extra guys within seconds, so I scored most of my points on 2 guys. I hit at least 12-15 scorpions, which was awesome, as I usually miss all but one or 2.

Good work, Phet! That's a good score, better than me. My high is 47k and some change...

However, I wish 49,642 was the score to beat on my Centipede!! I will not be beating the high-score on my machine for some time. DAMN YOU MARK SPAETH!! :)

Oh Sav it is you. I thought Bri had hisself a deathwish. I do have a lot of frequent flyer miles I could use up tonight if you guys wanna dance. Hint: there won't be any music.
 
My high score is around 110,000. It was kind of a fluke to score that, I need to work on strategy. It's a cool game.

Not at all. Keep going, it's a great game. I started playing it seriously somewhat recently once Richie got a cabaret which no one locally really plays so it's always open. I'm at 189k right now and seem a bit stuck as I have no strategy I just shoot everything.
 
49K here too...I had the top position for a few days until my girlfriend hit 53K. Only game I don't have the high score on in my house. Scared to beat it now, she might want me to get rid of them all :) For all you 100-300K+'ers out there..any tips for us low scorers?
 
My Dad has a Centipede cab (that needs fixed) but I think my HS was 81,xxx. Centipede and Millipede are freaking tough games. Seeing some of the marathon scores is mind blowing.

Nice score, Phet. Glad to see you are getting to play your games these days.
