killamch89 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 High scores in arcade games symbolized bragging rights and relentless replay sessions. Remember the thrill of feeding quarters into Defender, Asteroids, or Galaga for a chance to etch your initials atop the leaderboard? I spent weekends perfecting strategies on Missile Command, determined to surpass my friend’s record. Which classic arcade‑game high score prompted you to hone your skills?

Scorpion Posted Monday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:41 PM I've definitely spent hours trying to beat my own high score in Galaga. That feeling of getting further and further, surviving wave after wave, was so addictive. Still haven't quite mastered it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted Monday at 11:26 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:26 PM Ms. Pac-Man has been my white whale for decades. My local arcade had a machine with a 223,760 high score that seemed unattainable. I've dedicated countless hours trying to surpass it, getting tantalizingly close at 215,490 before losing my last life. Something about those ghosts' patterns still eludes me.
