Ever since I saw King of Kong, I became very interested in getting a top score in an arcade game. After spending some time considering which title to choose, I decided on the amazing Capcom shooter 1943. At the time I wasn't very good and could barely get past the second stage. But now my score has cracked a million! Sadly, that only makes me (unofficially) sixth place in the world (NOTE: re-read the title).
Two days ago I was messing around with another World War II shooter I enjoy, Ghost Pilots. I haven't played in a long time and didn't expect to do very well, yet I scored 287,900 points. I immediately went to TwinGalaxies.com to see where that placed me, and was excited to see that I was (unofficially) fourth place!
Come yesterday I got my score up to 428,400 points. That's 400 points more than the top score listed on Twin Galaxies! So I am (once again unofficially) first place! All I need to do now is record my play and submit.
I just don't want my many (ha!) fans to worry. First and foremost I do not let these "goals" interfere with my writing, and second my top goal is 1943. Sorry, Ghost Pilots, but that game has something you don't -- the Yamato.
