The agony of killing your remaining lives on a good game
I play in a local bar band, and we play at this one homely tavern that has a small game room. I always play Galaga in between sets (it's a reunion cab). The high score is about 630,000, but they do have enabled continues (cheaters!), so I suspect that the high score was the result of several quarters. I always thought that was a pretty good score, and while I've scored higher than that, I've never done it on their machine. Last night, I FINALLY got enough momentum to cruise up to about 530,000 before I heard the dreaded: "Where's our bassist?" coming over the PA. I had to kill off my remaining several ships and settle for the #2 slot on the top 5. Damn it! I'll bet I could have done it if we didn't have to go back onstage. I guess our breaks simply aren't long enough.
Just thought I'd share. I hate when you have to waste your extra lives because you have to leave/do something else.
