Response to Want to go back to the Galaga death screen discussion...

from stephen krogman (skrogman@concentric.net)
Ok, I'm sure everyone has been awaiting my reply to this thread. Working 2 jobs now, this is the first time I responded in here in probably 2 months. Anyway, as far as all these bytes and bits, I don't know cow doodie about this stuff but can tell you that I find it very impressive that someone has actually found a rack advance to Galaga. I don't thing I read this correctly, but what happened at 256 * 256? Here's some interesting facts, if there was a so called kill screen at stage 65,535 and I made it there (ha, would never happen in any human life form!) it would of gotten me 9,856,000,000 pts (my average of 3.850M by 256 on turbo fire) and lasted 4,106,666,666 hours! which is 171,111,111 days! 468797.564688 years!! So hows that?! Actually, what I think I can do with alot of psychological exercising, is play a game slightly modified which would be a turbo game playing with the no-fire bug and play for a 100M game which would take just under 50 hours to do. I thought of doing this with a good friend of mine in conjunction with a charity of course. Not for the score to be mixed in with any of the other Galaga scores but to see if the game will actually show 100,000,000 for a score on the 2 player side! I know it shows 8 digits, (funny thing, I did a 10M game last night at my work along side my friend who did the same) I'm curious as hell to see if it shows 9 digits. This almost happened in May at the Funspot Classics tourney I went to but they didn't have a turbo ver.
