    I've spent a good many hours on old-school asteroids. I remember with shock the first time the score turned over and instead of 100,000 I was suddenly back to zero. Thus my highest ever scores were never recorded by the game, but I think I maxed out at 114,000. What challenge level would I be trying to beat if I ever stumble across the game again, might I ask?

    (amazing how entertaining old games can be, especially at times when you have an old computer and they're all you can run!)

    ed: just followed the link beneath your avatar, and there's no way I'm coming anywhere near that score. *homage to the king*

    I might've been a transitional champion at that one once. I found that I got too nervous when playing and my fingers would freeze up. I also found that I could go faster if I could just stop saying the current letter with the voice in my head. I kept screwing up at that. Is this the technique you use?

    At first I was saying them in my head and getting a score near 120 every time. But then I tried to quiet my mind, and think of something else while I typed. That got me around 128. Then I started to type by the rythym of music, and that was the key. I actually played it to the song called "Remedy" by Seether. I looked down, my score was 132 with 2 seconds left, so my fingers flew and I busted out 5 more letters in 2 seconds. It was awesome. I've been trying to break that record and the closest I've come to was about 131. So, I guess that was a one time only kind of thing. Try and beat me, if you dare !!! LoL

    Why did you do that? And how do you delete scores, somehow I catch myself not believing your 138 story.

    I had a go, I cant touch type, well only certain words, so I got around 70-80, cant remember the exact score.

    I'm best at bowling, only a few points off the record there. But it's Quientus' record, and he holds like a thousand records lol. So if I beat it, he'd probably just get it back easily lol.
