We had a similar contest going with \'Galaga\' on my old Amiga. I got a very respectable score (I thought) of 24 million and it took me 3 hours. So I bragged about it for days and it kind of escalated from there. Someone would get 30 mill, then someone else would get 35 and so on until I got 64 million and I thought no one could beat that. It took me like 8 hours.
How wrong I was.
My flatmate waited til I went on holiday and then played for 2 days, pausing only to give lectures and eat - and got 184 million.
Just when you thought you were the saddest in the land...
