Me too! My friend and I were masters at the old Defender Stargate arcade game. One of the nice things about Stargate was that the high score allowed for several characters instead of just 3 for initials. You could write almost a whole sentence if you beat the high score. This led to some extremely heated competition as my friend would write very nasty insults about me so that when I would show up to the arcade I would see it and spend hours trying to beat his score so I could post insulting material about him on the high score. Another friend and I mastered Asteroids and we would have extra lives/ships lined up all across the top of the screen and beyond. Over time this would lead to some interesting things due to low memory issues like the lines that made up the asteroid rocks would come detached and strange artifacts flickering on the screen. Years later collecting ROM’s of these old arcade games to play over MAME emulator I was astonished at just how small the programs were. I miss the arcades of the 80’s
