A person named `LAW' consistently got scores in the 200,000 - 260,000
range at a fairly easy game in Toronto. He did this by playing with both men,
in order to get the bonus time at the end of each screen (i.e., it required
3 quarters at a quarter a man, since the second man would run out of time and
have to be started up again).
Unfortnately, the game has since dissapeared from the arcade.
