Today I reached 119,000 on Centipede over at Dave & Busters! That may be my highest score ever. I was introduced to the game at Bradley, and quickly became addicted. Hard to believe Centipede was already over 10 years old by the time I first played it!

There's a problem, though. The Dave & Busters version of Centipede is slightly impure. The gameplay is exactly the same, but there's a problem. You can continue your game by giving the machine more money! Impure, I tell you. That is so not right. Other than the screen being larger, everything else about the game is exactly the same. This impurity only comes into play when high scores are discussed.

Once I figured out I could just keep feeding the machine money until I got the highest score on the machine, that's what I did :). Now my initials are listed as #1 on the Centipede machine at Dave & Busters. 270,000+ points! The points are tainted, but so were the points of the previous record holder (so I tell myself). I still have a ways to go to reach the world record of 7,111,111. Maybe someone can get me a machine so I can practice at home!?
