TurboGrafx 16/PC Engine - Galaga '88/'90 - 1,583,220 Points (WR)

Played in RetroArch with RetroAchieements enabled:

Nerves got to me around stage 25 or so when I realized what kind of pace I was on - this beats the current WR on RUclips, but I lost all my extra lives before beating the game. Each remaining extra life at the end of the game is worth 10,000 points. If I managed to not die at all in this run, score would be around 1.65 million. -_-
Also, if anyone beats my score or I overlooked another recorded run of this game that bets my score, lemme know and I'll remove the WR claim from video title. lol
I am 100% sure people have gotten higher scores over the years than this, but it is currently, afaik, the highest documented score.

Wow! Real nail biter at the end. GG!

Haha thanks. Yeah, super close call at the end - lost last extra life when it turned out he was *one* hit from dying.
I decided to celebrate my score by finally biting the bullet and buying a PC Engine from Japan with a G88 hu-card. Can't wait to see how much better I can do playing on my CRT. lol
