Surprised Yourself - Personal Best?

[+Trebor]

You ever play a 7800 game that you either did mediocre at best and all of a sudden out of nowhere you have this awesome game, where you blow your typical score out of the water?

 

I just had that experience with Xenophobe. I can barely recall (if ever) reaching 200,000. A typical game is usually 100,000 or less. But tonight...

 

 

...I shocked myself...

 

...500,000+ ...506,595 to be exact. Sorry for the crappy in-game snapshot, I just hit F12 twice as quick as I could fearing losing the score in MESS. Unfortunately, a F12 capture takes a raw video image and you lose all those nice CRT effects.

 

Anyhow, it's the score that matters...And I am both surprised and very pleased.

 

Anyone else with a similar experience with a 7800 game? No screenshot proof required...lol

Galaga and Asteroids. My Asteroids scores can be found in season 1 of the HSC. I got to the point where I was nailing 45,000 on the very first play at the highest difficulty settings.

With Galaga, my play time on the 7800 resulted in higher scores in the arcade.
