Galaga: Beating the High Score
A Galaga player manages to beat the High Score on the shoot 'em up over 50 times in a row, with the Arcade Game fans on r/arcadecaft praising the achievement as the greatest ever. Many users in the thread express their love for Galaga, considering it the greatest game ever. Others make jokes about the lack of explicit content in the post's image.
"I nearly doubled the high score in Galaga," a user writes. "And it was only meant to beat it."
Some users express disappointment that the poster didn't include a photo of the arcade cabinet's screen, insinuating that the high score could have been a result of fraud. "Why can't we see the screen?" one user asks. "Posting a picture of the screen would prevent any doubt."
Another user humorously admits to mistakenly typing "ASA" instead of "ASS" in a comment.
A nostalgic user shares a personal story about playing Galaga in an arcade and finally beating the high score after some competition. "I remember this," several users reply. "It's awesome."
Several users express their love for Galaga, with one user saying it's the only game they ever play on the subreddit. "Galaga is the greatest game," another user replies. "Just the greatest."
There is a discussion about whether the game is being played on an emulator or an original arcade cabinet. "I can confirm it's an arcade," one user writes. Another user replies, "I wonder if there's a specific reason why there are multiple Galaga-related posts in the sub lately."
Another user simply comments, "Way to go!!"
A short comment of "Damn" may imply awe or surprise at the high score.
A user reminisces about playing Galaga in their uncle's game room. "I loved that room," another user replies. "I miss that so much."
