      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.
