I was never any good on these things.

I would have invested more quarters into it if I didn't die so quickly.

I bet the longest i ever played without dying was 25 seconds.
Way too frustrating.

This is basically the frustrating arcade experience on a PC

Fatman, saw that video about the Taiwanese kids.

They were outstanding in that game. And very much humble. Asian teams are always impressive. Really glad they broke the 29 year drought! That will remain with them forever.
