Do you care about high-scores?

Only autists think a number on the screen is the highest form of fun in a videogame.

No, I'm just happy to make it to the end. Unless the game is open ended and points are the point.

Nobody ever cared about high scores for the sake of it.
>>7909680
This. Things like Sonic Adventure 2 or Trauma Center actually put some use to them.

No, I think arcades are terribly unsanitary and uncomfortable

Literally the entire point in about 40% of arcade games.

I don't know about you but I played arcades to leave my friends in the dust at the finish line, do fatalities and see how far I could get into Metal Slug, then leave to get something to eat when the initials input score screen came up and the game was over.

My mother had the high scores for a breakout clone (Dionakra) which was embarrassing as mine were way less. This was around 2001 or earlier

>> No.7910348

Only if the game has a decent scoring system, which is actually pretty rare.
For example ghosts and goblins and metal slug are trash in this regard, even though they're great games. You only stay in one place and farm trash mobs to boost your score for several minutes, which is boring.

No, in a lot of games, the objective was the high score, because the game either looped, or eventually just went on forever with a fixed difficulty. Actual endings used to be rare, even in looping games.

This game is fuckin great for 2 player

I used to play the All-stars version for H O U R S as a kid. It's that fucking good.
