Imminent I believe... *strums fingers*

Suppose I can take the moment to have brekky.

I've always been shite at Galaga and Galaxians, be a true waste of money for me to buy it, maybe I'll invest in Joust or Marble Madness instead

Yeah, not a fan of Galaga here, either. Those little bastards won't stay still. Grrr!

Galaxian I like, though. Not that I'm any good at that either...

Don't you mean Marble Blast Ultra?

As far as i'm aware Marble Madness isn't coming to XBLA (but it'd be splendid if it did).

Oops my bad, freudian slip I meant Gauntlet.

(I always remember the trinity of arcade machines from my university days that were all together in the arcade in Manchester we used to go to, Joust, Gauntlet, Marble Madness)

I doubt Marble Madness would work without a trackball, but I wouldn't mind it all the same.

You meant the trackball you'd spin with all your might only to find you keep catching bits of skin between the ball and the chassis of the cabinet? That hurt like a bugger that did!!!

Don't worry I'll bring up the rear of the Galaga scores...

I seem to regularly get 20k>30k and once I have peaked at 45,890.

When I grabbed it yesterday morning I noticed Sickboy was getting 200k+ WTF? Now the top scores are 600k+ how the hell.

Scouring the net has brought up a trick where you keep the two left hand side bees on the screen, shoot everything else leaving those two, let the run around (without killing them for 20 minutes+) then they will all of a sudden stop shooting at you. Kill them then and enjoy the rest of the game with nothing shooting at you.

Do you think I can keep them there on their own? Can I hell.

I am sure its an accurate translation but for my liking you cant shoot fast or often enough.

One good tip I have just read on the Xbox Forum is that you remember where the challenge levels are and get a double ship just before then the challenge levels are easily beaten

I did that for the first one and still didn't get it

I can't really play Galaga properly with thumb-fire. Badly need a good, chunky, clicky joystick with a proper stabby button.

That 360 D-pad is going to be painful when SF2 comes out...
