That's a cracking leader board you got there mate

.

 

[guddler]

But how many times round was it before you decided to time it right and stop??? That's the $1,000,000 question!

[EDIT] I'm taking the piss by the way - great score obviously!! I know there are people out there that can do this, just like there are for Gorf. I'm just not one of them!guddler2011-12-16 00:52:01

Usually can do first time around but it takes a lot of patience, used to travel to far away arcades to piss the regulars off as once there its unbeatable

[edit : can't be bothered to go much more than 1 million any more, too old now

Hi.

So, i understand you correct that you could add up 1.2+million..
If yes, what is your best score?? 2 million???...

I feel that way about Galaga a bit, my bodys too knackered to contemplate playing it 30 hours! (plus ive got a few other things to do with my life

)

So at a rough estimate Andy, how long would you have to play to get to 80 million?

 

[andyman]

About 60 hours I reckon, takes about 3/4 hour per million. Most I've ever managed was 27mil, took me about 19 but I was 15 at the time, no chance of that now

Andy.

 

[stevearcade]

! That's some scoring.

I'm not a fan of Defender but I have known several people who could clock it and I was quite surprised when I noticed that the high score table is on a 'last come, first served' basis.

By which I mean that if someone came along and played on Andy's cab and equalled his score they would go top.

 

[strykr]

60 hours of defender, surely your brain would melt!

You have that the wrong way round Garry, once 999,975 is up there, anyone else getting the same score goes into 2nd

[favouredson]

I could have sworn I witnessed an argument caused by this. I guess 30 years is just too much for the old grey cells to handle...

 

[DanP]

Not upto Andy's level I'm afraid

 

[tb lilley]

Me neither:

 

[andyman]

So close, come on James, before Christmas

My game as a young man, hi-score 3 and a half million before i stopped, took me roughly 3 and a half hours also back in 82
