galaga graphical glitch

Post by Arcatech »

One of the games in my arcade has a glitch! The highscore on Galaga is scrambled. It kind of reminds me of problems that I would have with NES games where it would look like meaningless garbage. The actual game itself is a cocktail cabinet which has Galaga and Pac Man.

Does anybody know if this is a common problem with this game?

I don't suppose it has something to do with someone maxing out the score, does it?

If so, someone probably either completely owned the game, or used the "no-shoot" glitch to breeze through it.

The Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man machine at the arcade I frequent is the same way.

oh, ok. I'll see if I can reset it to factory default or something.

thanks

Strange update for this game. It got stolen a few days ago. Guess whoever stole it won't be able to view the highscore while playing. :evil:

Somebody stole the entire cab? Do you own a real arcade or was this just your "home arcade" setup?
