Hehe. Fun thread. I'll have to put Galaga 90 in tonight and try my best to beat ya.

I'm glad I opened up this forum......it will motivate me to play my Turbo games more as I've been really lax in that area (mostly playing 360 at the moment).

[Keranu]

I'm glad you did too, this is a really rad forum!

[Joe Redifer]

Sorry guys, but this forum is not rad.  It's totally tubular!

OK. I just beat Galaga 90 on difficult using all the dimensional warps. Oh, except the first one. I always forget to leave behind a couple of the bugs on the first two levels so that I can grab some capsules.    Oh, and I also used the "galactic dancing" secret for extra bonus points.

So, my final high score was 1 081 850.

Other stats:

Shots Fired: 2903
Number of Hits: 2252
Hit-Miss Ratio: 77.5%

Now the warrior must rest hehe

Not that I disbelieve anything here, but more folks need to start grabbing screenshots.

Hehe. Fair enough. At the moment the best I could do is take a digital picture or video of my high score. I really don't want to have to play through it right now, but I'll do it again if need be.  Though the game is definitely easier than its arcade counterpart it's still fun to play. 

OK, as I was writing this I realized that I left the game on.  hehe. I really didn't want to have to go through that again right now. I had to start over halfway through my first attempt tonight. I thought the game froze, but my controller just fell out of the port.  I'm a real noob sometimes. 

Here's the screen shot:

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Hehe  Sorry for the size of the screenshot.  :oops: I just reduced it so it wasn't soooo big. But it's still fairly large. I'll try and get it even smaller. 

OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can either get the image uber small, or uber big. I can't get to around 2 inches by 2 inches.  I'll keep trying, but at least it's not as big as it was. 

Eureka!! I finally figured it out!!!  Again, I was just being a noob with Photoshop.  I forgot to save for web and reduce the resolution to 72. hehe. Worked like a charm. 

[Joe Redifer]

Actually "saving for web" is the n00b way to do things in Photoshop.  Just take your original image, then go to IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE, make sure the dimensions are in pixels and not DPI or percentage or anything like that, pick a good size and resize it (make sure your proportions are constrained), then go to FILE > SAVE AS... save it as a JPEG on the 7 or 8 setting.  Upload.  Link.

Your current picture is way too small.

Yeah, figured as much. Cus I actually never used that for the website I developed for school last year.  I just noticed it tonight actually. I'm not even sure I used it when I finally got the right size. lol I must have tried 10 times doing different things before I got it right.  I think by the end of it I just went to Image > Image Size, and made the dimensions 2 in x 2 in and put the resolution to 72 and saved it as a gif.
