What's your best Tetris score, Anon?
I've managed to get just over 600k pretty regularly. My highest is around 700k, though.

Have you played Cosmo Gang: The Video? It's very similar, and a lot of fun.

Galaga. Didn't know the digits reset until I saw it happen once..
That being said, this particular machine had three top scores with strange glitchy symbols. They next level, or was that tomfoolery?

Snow Bros.

Trying one life runs, getting to about floor 25ish before I start sucking.

>>2828025

I like that Space Harrier and After Burner award score for distance traveled as well as enemies shot down. It's especially important in After Burner, where going faster will give you a better score.

Most any shoot-'em-up would qualify. I'm a sucker for Gauntlet as well.

fun fact... i worked in an arcade back in the day when this came out. There was a bug in the game where you would rapidly swing the jetfighter stick right and left while it was in the 'preview' mode. The jet would swing left and right after doing so for like 10-15 seconds and you could continue playing. No score or anything, but you could still play as if you'd paid.

Ghosts and Goblins

Thanks for the rec!

The game's fun but the controls feels a little sluggish compared to G88.
