Galaga at Cedar Point

I spent the last Monday in August enjoying the weather and the thrills at Cedar Point amusement park. My fellow rider Jerrr22 (Gamertag) and I stopped by the arcade after lunch.
Our first observation was: no new games. It looks like the arcade game is a thing of the past. So to the old games I went: Zaxon, Centipede, Joust, and finally Galaga.
I set a new high score on my first quarter: 78,000. Unfortunately, I bragged to Jerr: time for a head-to-head. He scored a Perfect in the second challenge phase; that bonus would put him over the top. I believe he finished with 82,000 points.
Just this morning, I was reading one of my gamer blogs and they mentioned that the Galaga all-time high score had been beaten: Phil Day scored 3.44 million in 2 hours 5 minutes of play. I guess I have some practicing to do.

Jerry and I had a re-match during Micah's birthday at the BoneYard. He destroyed me.
