I still say Defender and Robotron are (if not the hardest, two of) the hardest games of the 80s. I played Defender once or twice, and gave it up. Same for Robo. Since MAME, I've broken 40k in Defender, and gotten millions in Robo......

Bagman is a, rare for the time, long-strategy game. I still haven't played it enough to figure it out.
Before getting into MAME in '03, I played games most when we went to Chuck E. Cheese every weekend when I was in junior high. The best I got at a game, that I remember, was Gyruss at 72k. I actually had a bunch of grown-ups around me cheering me on. Around the same year, a similar thing happened with Xevious at the local convenience store, seventy-something thousand. The only person with me there was the store clerk. I was late to school that day, of course.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
