What arcade world record do you think you could get?
So while I was in Twin Galaxies looking up Rally-X records (see related post), I looked up a few other games and it got me thinking, based on the Twin Galaxies records, what games do you think you're pretty close to or could get a record with some practice?
For me, Space Invaders on the arcade platform, record is 55k. I am positive beyond a doubt I could get that record with a little practice. If you figure you get about 10K points per resetting, that means I'd need to reset them 5 times. I'm way older now than the arcade days, but I've reset them 5 time plenty of times.
Now Deluxe Space Invaders is 425k. And this is a MUCH harder game. I don't see how someone possibly did that. That's a remarkable score. With some practice, I should be able to knock off 3rd place of 30k, but that leaves me almost 400k behind the record. No chance at that one.
So, how about you?
