My New Tron Arcade Record :)
on Saturday, February, 11, 2012 7:55 PM
score isnt up to the david cruz level or anything, but for me, it's pretty damn good
Below is a video from the live stream I did when I get the score. (176k)

I've got about 2 million on my first guy and decided to let the game go. I haven't recorded any games on video yet.

With a family I don't see how I can get 24 hours straight to shoot for that WR. Even if I were fortunate enough to hit it, I'm sure the current WR holder would come right back after it.

2 million is a great score for your first man.
Keep up the great gaming.

It gets harder to play longer games when you can't take a break.
Once you figure out how to handle it, it's not that bad.

I watched some of your "quick 400,000" point game and noticed you don't point press the grid bugs. Do you just shoot on through when scoring big scores?

I find it takes about 1 hour 50 minutes (or so) to get the first million if I point press the spiders. I've heard other guys say it takes 3 hours but they don't point press the spiders.

When I point press the grid bugs and cones, I can get 1 million in about 1:30 to 1:45. When I don't point press, I can get 1 million in about 1:15 to 1:20. The scoring rate is faster without point pressing.
No way to get 1 million in 3 hours. That seems too slow.
My world record games of 6 and 7 million were both with full point pressing.
My 11 and 14 million point games were with almost no point pressing.
There are advantages and disadvantages both ways.
Whatever works best for you.

seems like it's all pros to not point press. save your firing finger as well.

thanks

I was misled about how much time it takes
thanks bud
