I might get into Super Pac man again.  Ive been neglecting my cab for a while now.  Im just gonna enjoy it while I have it and see what sparks my interest.  Im not fully done with DK I really want a 1.15 before I would think about not playing it seriously anymore.  But I might even try No Hammer or different things to keep the interest alive.

No Hammer will undoubtedly keep the frustration alive as well.

But I'm sure you already know that.

Congrats Robbie for this huge accomplishment. I'm looking forward to seeing how high the arcade record will get. Someone should really do 1.2m on arcade or at least 1.18 to get this close to the max that's achievable.

[lakeman421]

Thanks Jeff, Hank and I talked about that we feel people will always be trying to push the score higher but for us we feel around 1.17 to 1.18 would realistically be the limit.  Anything above that would be extremely tiresome and time consuming.  But then again I have zero patience trying get 130k starts all time.

My "retirement" goal is in the neighborhood of 1.17-1.18M.  While I feel 1.2M is definitely possible on arcade, I also know the pain involved in achieving such a score.  If someone wants to pursue it... more power to them!

[Scoundrl]

Way to go Robaaaaaah!

[DiggingInNY]

Congratulations Robbie!! We all knew it was a matter of when you will break as opposed to if you will break it.

Robbie, might I suggest going for the top-hammer-only 1m+ score? Doesn't seem like it'd require you to change much strategy from what you're currently used to doing. Might as well try while you're in point-pressing shape.

[lakeman421]

I actually thought about trying that Mitch since it hasn't been done before.  If I feel like playing for kicks again I might just do that.  Are there ground rules for this?  Just top hammer on barrel boards or all boards?  Weave every rivet?  What about the pie factory?  I need answers!!!

[marinomitch13]

Just can't use the bottom hammer on barrels... but if you wanted to do just top hammer on every screen, that would be hardcore as well. Either way, I would at least track whatever attempts you wanna do in my "DK Challenges" thread.
