Indeed, 701,400 is most impressive. I hope you arn't distressed to learn
that I have reached stage 87 with a score of 1,604,200. I have found that most
people who play the Galaga Clones also played the orignal Galaga. Is this true
for you as well. If so, what was your score. In 1982 I peaked at 3.2 millon.
Then the laser disk games game out and I devoted my quarters to these. I would
like to hear of anyone who has beaten this Galaga score. I know someone has...
Oh yeah, Have you played Galaga 2 yet. I can't even get past stage 3 on
that game. Bally/Midway was most cruel in releasing that "killer" version.
