I just got word from Walter Day

Post by stephen krogman »

Twin Galaxies and Rickys World Famous Hot Sauce (Billy Mitchells company) will honor $1000 to who ever can beat my 15,999,990 on Galaga at the Funspot tournament?! Including myself!!! This now changes my whole schedule of what I had planned to do over the 4 days I'll be there. I'll post back here once I return. Too bad no ones attending this event from marp, it would be nice to see some of the players here in action at a live event like the one going to take place in less then 2 weeks at Funspot.

Steve Krogman

Well, if I were going to be there I might seriously consider trying
to improve that last little bit required to go for this sort of score.

<p>

Is that only on the slow-fire version?

BeeJay,

It looks like the ver will be the original fire one. When I set
my record back in 89'- 90' the turbo chip wasn't available untill
around 94' Since then, I've been use to playing on the turbo ver
cause every arcade has already upgraded to this ver and capitalized
on better profits. If this ver was considered during the event, I
would try and put up a 25M ~ 30M pt score which is definitely
possible seeing I managed 20.5M on MAME and had a really bad average
as far as points per man throughout my game excluding my hugh spread
between 10m and 17m which I did on 1 man.

Ps Last year at the tournament, I did almost 8M and the only reason
I wasn't up to par for a record was because I came down with a very
bad chest cold while I was there and felt miserable. This year, no
excuses (I hope..)

I will disscuss this with Billy tomorrow when I speak to him.
It's possible it may be on the next flyer both Billy and Walter are
putting together.

It would be great to break TG-record, and to get that 1000$, hehheh.
