Galaxian was my canvas for creating masterpieces. I saw some arcade record book in the store years after arcades died, and it had the highest known scores for various games. My personal high score was something like 6 times higher than the purported record. But the book was flawed because there was some other guy on campus whose high score was something like 6 times higher than mine. I could make one quarter last for 90 minutes or so, and that guy could play all day on quarter. Nonetheless, I was the second-best player I ever saw.
I was decent at a bunch of different games, though not in the elite ranks. Centipede/Millipede, Frogger, Space Duel, and some others. I was okay at Defender and Asteroids, but not really better than an average arcade addict.
