Armando Gonzalez breaks the 29 year old Galaga Marathon Record!!
« on: October 20, 2018, 09:09:10 pm »
He's still playing as I type, but Armando has surpassed the Galaga Marathon record of 15,999,990 set way back in 1989
In my opinion this is truly one of the greatest achievements in CAG in a long, long time.

Armando is such a great guy and there is no-one more deserving than him. Congrats Armando!

Yeah, this record definitely deserves it's own thread.  Probably one of, if not the last major legit record in classic gaming from the 80s to be broken.  HUGE!

Random shots from my mediocre camera and pretty good 35mm f/2 lens.

I spoke with Armando earlier and his final score was approximately 17.6m.

Is using a stool not permitted? Seems tiring as hell to play that long standing up.

Not all WR's are equal.  Banging out a Galaga WR is an amazing feat achieved by a classy guy. 
Congrats Armando!
