Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
It's hard to explain. Endurance is not really the problem, and even paying attention is not really the problem. This game can kill in a 1,000 different ways. It's thinking ahead at times. If you miss a couple of ships in a row, now you have to start thinking a couple of steps a head. As in where is ...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
Just an update. I have gotten much better. Now my high score is over 1,314,400. I now have a taped score of 1,003,590. There is a very significant chance that by the time this thing rolls around I will have the record. But I am still willing to go after my own record at the event if I do have the re...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
Yeah, I can bring my own stuff. Game, System, and my little 13 inch TV that I actually play the thing on. If this could happen it would definitely make my day.

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
Yes, it does need to be taped. I do have a VCR that tapes, so I guess I can do it that way. If anyone else wants to tape it they are welcome to, if I am allowed to do this.

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
It takes me about 55 minutes to get to 300k. To get the record it would probably take about 4 and a half hours. So it looks like I will only have one shot, maybe two if the first game is not that good. I am OK with the chance of a power outage.

Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
I was wondering if it would be cool if I could try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian world record at the SC3 meet? At the moment I am now consistently getting over 300,000 points. My high so far is 600,130. The world record is 1,343,700. I believe that in a couple of months I will have a legitimate shot a...
