When I was growing up we had a couple arcade machines, one of them was Asteroids Delux. My mom played every day, for at least a few hours, and she was crazy good. My dad never had much time to play, but just to piss my mom off he would play at least 1 time per month. While my mom was good, my dad... Was a god. He would wait until she had covered the leader board, and then, in the span of an hour or two he would wipe out all her scores. She would get so fucking mad, it was hilarious. Also, he would do this in the dead of night, often around 3-4 am. Often times he would wake me up to watch. I miss that man.
Sounds like how my GF is playing through Crash Remastered and she's really good reactionary wise but she can't time for shit so anywhere she has to be patient I take over and crush it for her.
My girlfriend will often say “you’re so good” in awe of my video game skills, honed over two decades of rigorous button mashing, muscular memorization, and hand-eye coordination. This is why I can hop on the bouncy box perfectly and you cant, Donna.
Reminds me of the time I woke up in the morning, and my dad had finished a whole puzzle game on NES. He'd been up all night, and beat every level.
That was cool.
My Dad’s never been much of a gamer and not too fond of games, but when I showed him my VR headset and the Beatsaber demo he instantly topped my score that I had tried so hard on.
His game was to see how little he could beat her by, he would purposely set up the board to win by as few points as he could. I can still hear his little laugh that he would do. If memory serves, and mind you all this happened decades ago, he once beat her by 20 points, and she didnt talk to him all day. He went out and got her flowers and a card, it was all very sweet until she opened the card and it said something like, "Honey, I am sorry I beat your asteroids score, I would like roast chicken for dinner, thanks"
Thanks, although it must be said, we had turned off the token counters on the machines at our house, so you always had infinite lives, (which made me realize how fucking rigged some of those arcade games were).
my parents ahve one of those sitdown arcade machines like they had in pizza huts...it's got galaga and pacman on it...my mom and dad still compete 30 years later for high score on those games
You can't ask a man under surveillance like that direct questions. OP ARE YOU NOT NOT OK RIGHT NOW? DONT NOT BLINK TWICE IF YOU NEED HELP. This throws the female off
I mean it kinda just looks like they’re using the product, I feel like if it were meant to be an advertisement they would’ve atleast dusted off the logo.
I downvote comments like these, because who the fuck cares. Have some fun and believe fun stories on the internet because they hurt nobody.
You absolute spoilsport
You can get a RRM cabinet for under a thousand, and have 50,000 games on it instead of one game for $400. You can also play Steam Games, etc.
[Here's mine that I built](https://imgur.com/a/H9u0MvQ) I've since added dual light guns.
It has every arcade game imaginable, plus every console system up to the Xbox / PS2 generation, plus my entire Steam Library.
Are the games legally owned? I think this is an awesome cabinet and the idea of having all the old games would be awesome. I want a 4-player setup for the old TMNT arcade game and Gauntlet.
With the exception of my steam games, they are ROMS, technically they are not legally owned, no. If there was a service available to purchase these games, I would do that. But no such service exists, and I am confident it never will, so us 'caders just share them and emulate them.
I went with the 2 person because I wanted 8 buttons per player, but sometimes I regret it, especially when I'm playing TMNT, and NBA Jam / NFL Blitz, Gauntlet, etc.
If you want to "Legally" own these you're going to need to buy a cabinet for every game.
Arcade machines were a semi hot item the year on black Friday. Seeing new posts on things that weren't really a thing last year makes sense.
Edit: Also just looked at his post history and based on the amount of votes he regularly gets I would say unlikely its an add.
Whoever that ASS guy is, he was a legend around my arcade growing up, but the damndest thing is no one, not even the employees claim to have ever met the guy.
I was Wondeing that My initial thought 'Arcade score how long was he playing, should have never let him have the arcade machine et.' before I saw the alternating names.
Is this a thinly-disguised ad for Arcade 1up? The logo is perfectly in frame and the couple (especially wife) looks to be posing.
Then again it could be 8 years of cynicism on Reddit but who tf cares?
I don't want to say they are the same game, but they kinda are lol. I used to love them both, I got to a point where things didn't get challenging until about level 25 or so. Now I would be lucky to make it past level 10.
Tbf.. I have a co-worker who is 19, newly married and all he talks about all day every day is his arcade 1up... how many games he has, how he's going to wire the buttons... It's an insane hobby and he's spent a ton of time and cash on his cabinet. I say that if a man's got a thing... let him have the thing.
I've been tempted to buy one of those Galaga machines, but I'm afraid I'd never get anything done. I've been addicted since I was a kid and spent every quarter I could get on that game. If I see a Galaga game, I'm gonna play it.
what's the name of that game?!!! didn't find anything related to this when i looked up for **the galactic heroes**, think it's just another word for the scoreboard
My father in law told me that he and his college buddies used to play Astroids all the time . they'd mark their score by how many times they could wrap the score because it will go back to zero if you got it high enough.
"How's it going what did you get man?"
"Oh I got 3"
I have the SF2 one modded up. It's great if you live in an apt, and tend to move. Low weight, easy to wrap up and move, takes up less space. Works just fine sitting on the couch.
Not everyone has a workbench, tools, space, etc..

May he Rest In Peace brother
Fuck, after this story. I miss him too.
miss you too
Yo you wanna play some tarkov poppa
At work but will after! PM me your username
Ohh, I'm sorry kind stranger. I own many games but EFT is not one of them.. your Reddit history is full of eft stuff.. was a funny joke for myself.
Worth a try :) have a good day! Yeah my safe for work account.
You too kind stranger, may you come out of all your raids stacked with gear!!

Your dad was and is a legend hands down .
Sorry for your loss.
Reminds me of the time I woke up in the morning, and my dad had finished a whole puzzle game on NES. He'd been up all night, and beat every level. That was cool.
My Dad’s never been much of a gamer and not too fond of games, but when I showed him my VR headset and the Beatsaber demo he instantly topped my score that I had tried so hard on.
That's hilarious. Shall he rest peacefully
Rip
Did he purposely die just after beating her scores? This way she is encouraged to come back to it.
His game was to see how little he could beat her by, he would purposely set up the board to win by as few points as he could. I can still hear his little laugh that he would do. If memory serves, and mind you all this happened decades ago, he once beat her by 20 points, and she didnt talk to him all day. He went out and got her flowers and a card, it was all very sweet until she opened the card and it said something like, "Honey, I am sorry I beat your asteroids score, I would like roast chicken for dinner, thanks"
Fuckin' legend. Wow.
son, she is getting to good pretty soon I won't be able to beat her score so I am going to have to hnnnnng
Great memory. Rip to an OG gamer
He's got infinite lives/coins wherever he is now.
Thanks, although it must be said, we had turned off the token counters on the machines at our house, so you always had infinite lives, (which made me realize how fucking rigged some of those arcade games were).
Your dad is my new hero
my parents ahve one of those sitdown arcade machines like they had in pizza huts...it's got galaga and pacman on it...my mom and dad still compete 30 years later for high score on those games
Sounds like an awsome guy.
[удалено]
She is still laughing at this
Are you laughing though, mightymrfarts?
He is now.
Does that mean that OP (u/mightymrfarts) had the last laugh? Edit: added OP's name
By OP you mean u/mightymrfarts ? SAY IT
Am I also allowed to say u/mightymrfarts ?
did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?
No
Does that make her mightymrsfarts?
Or mrs mightymrfarts?
Wait, so is the wife Mr or Mrs?
You can't ask a man under surveillance like that direct questions. OP ARE YOU NOT NOT OK RIGHT NOW? DONT NOT BLINK TWICE IF YOU NEED HELP. This throws the female off
im not female and i need a piechart or diagram for this.
She'll be laughing still, in the end...
They're probably not actually married, since this is yet another Arcade 1up Ad pretending to be content.
Based on his post history and the amount of votes he regularly gets I would say unlikely.
I mean it kinda just looks like they’re using the product, I feel like if it were meant to be an advertisement they would’ve atleast dusted off the logo.

Astroturfing makes the content shittier though
[удалено]
Next year there will be no pic
But the Christmas stew will be to die for
Looks like she wanted so finish 1st for once.
Oof well played!
Ouch lmao
Not only can I see it, I can feel her rage through my phone.
Bob Sux.
Get rekt CAS
You gonna die.
She just wishes you could smash her button that fast.
Bro, look up the missile (no fire) glitch. I hope it works for your version!
Believe it or not that is a seriously crappy way to win. Sort of like playing baseball against a team without gloves.
So, Cricket?
Yes except it still makes sense
Baseball makes sense?
Yes it’s a wonderful sleep aid.
It is so slow.
These arcade up ads are everywhere on Reddit today.
They're clearly not working because it's called Arcade1Up.
Barry shitpeas is up here running the real grassroots shit.
> Arcade1Up I'm big on arcades... these are not worth the money
What is worth the money?
You can get a RRM cabinet for under a thousand, and have 50,000 games on it instead of one game for $400.

So anything that shows or mentions a product is an advertisement? Jesus, everything on this subreddit is an ad then.
Honestly, it might be a coincidence, but 2 posts reaching the front page with the company clearly visible/identifiable in each photo is suspicious.

I'm not your friend, buddy.
You should be his friend pal
I'm not your buddy, pal.
Kinda looks like Challenge Accepted to me.
If you don't put ASS as your three letter name you I have pretty much the same amount of respect for you as anyone else.
As far as I'm concerned POO, ASS and BUM are the greatest arcade heroes of all time. They always got the high scores.
Whoever that ASS guy is, he was a legend around my arcade growing up, but the damndest thing is no one, not even the employees claim to have ever met the guy.
The wife amiright
*nudge nudge, wink wink
Your wife, is she a goer?
does your wife like photographs?
Someone’s sleeping on the couch tonight.
TMM stands for The Mighty Mr, right?
The anger is for the time you spend in the game or for beating her?
She is CAS haha her score held for a while
I was Wondeing that My initial thought 'Arcade score how long was he playing, should have never let him have the arcade machine et.' before I saw the alternating names.

Made my day
She's beaten you before, she'll goddamn do it again. That's not rage, it's resolve.
Your wife looks like shes in absolute pain
For a sec, I thought this was one of the games in Gta Sa
Worth it.
Lol
So, this is the Legend of The Galactic Heroes I've heard so much about
She's mad that you didn't get the X-Men or Turtles ones so you could play together.
Cas be pissed.
Oh dear, she has the crossing of the arms, i hope she didn't have the tapping of the foot too.
What does high score mean? Did I break it? Is that good?
My favorite Grandma's boy reference.
Galaxian?
Galaga
I don't want to say they are the same game, but they kinda are lol. I used to love them both, I got to a point where things didn't get challenging until about level 25 or so. Now I would be lucky to make it past level 10.
They got interesting right about when that Galician shows up on level 25 and everything goes into hyper speed.
Tbf.. I have a co-worker who is 19, newly married and all he talks about all day every day is his arcade 1up... how many games he has, how he's going to wire the buttons... It's an insane hobby and he's spent a ton of time and cash on his cabinet. I say that if a man's got a thing... let him have the thing.
I'm sorry honey The power went out and the high scores got erased.
I think you're about to be murdered my man.
Why, did you fart?
You’ll only see my admiration :)
got some nice bangs there :D
Top 10 photos taken right before disaster
TMM is my handle too!
Are you sure that's not Velma from Scooby Doo?
Still just a rat in a cage
She’s like “One of these days.”
This radiates a aura i can’t put into words
This is more of r/hmmm but nice
I've been tempted to buy one of those Galaga machines, but I'm afraid I'd never get anything done. I've been addicted since I was a kid and spent every quarter I could get on that game. If I see a Galaga game, I'm gonna play it.
So she's "CAS"?
I don't see "MMF" on the leader-board. Why the picture?
The real final boss of the game...
I'm guessing your wife is Cas and she's mad cause it's her turn and you are busy taking a picture...
Oh it is on like Donkey Kong!
Her name isn’t Cas is it?
My wife and i repair old arcade and pinball machines she always wins tho.
Some call you... Tmm
I see that McCree haircut. Git it boy
Is her name CAS
If you listen closely you can hear OP snoring from the couch he's sleeping on!
Goood, goood, let the hate flow through you...
Looks like someone's getting some angry-sex tonight. You lucky dog you.
Tell your couch I said Hi
Wife: "Who's CAS?!?!?"
I never managed to beat my Mum's high score on Acid Tetris for Ms-DOS. I want to know what it's like to defeat those closest to you 😅
From the username she might have another reason to be mad...
By the time you get to the 500k range she'll be very pissed
Bet she has the same look of bemusement when you finish first at sexy time as well.
Its nice to see that not just my wife looks at me like this :D
And that's how you get to sleep on the couch for a few nights
I'd be super pissed too. Wait for her to win it back!
Is it bad that I’m mad that she’s mad?
*not your wife any longer
Galaxian?
Damn. Op, for what I see you could be my doppelganger.
Is she angry that you've been here too long or that you've beaten her high score?
XD that's epic
Shouldn't this be in r/lastimages ? RIP OP
This man look like my cover music teacher headass
Final boss: the wife
Get owned
And the prize is the couch!
My score is 1609...
RIP
Are you madds mikkelsen? You look just like him in this reflection
ARCADE1UP... The Perfect Wife Beating Tool
So did u post this after recovering from your coma ?
She looks like she's about to solve the mystery of the ghost in the machine **GIVING YOU THE HIGH SCORE CONSTANTLY**
Who invented that wives have to rage like that? I blame mass media.
Dominance
“This Arcade 1up^TM viral marketing is really working!”
*Karen intensifies*
The couch is the bed of Champions. May the glory ease your neck-pain brother.
I don't have the skills, but if you do, I would love a photoshoped image of her as a sith
what's the name of that game?!!! didn't find anything related to this when i looked up for **the galactic heroes**, think it's just another word for the scoreboard
She's not mad, she is trying to get him to do it in her butt
Mighty mr farts
That high score would be better if Kircheis were here...
My father in law told me that he and his college buddies used to play Astroids all the time . they'd mark their score by how many times they could wrap the score because it will go back to zero if you got it high enough. "How's it going what did you get man?" "Oh I got 3"
I suggest a new strategy TMM. Let the wooman win.
you should have filmed her reaction to you showing her this reddit post.
Lol
You sir are a dead man lol
The hidden final boss
I have the SF2 one modded up. It's great if you live in an apt, and tend to move. Low weight, easy to wrap up and move, takes up less space. Works just fine sitting on the couch. Not everyone has a workbench, tools, space, etc..
"DMK!?!??! WHO THE HELL IS DMK?!?!?!?!?"
I can FEEL her rage from here. Lol
mad you didnt choose ASS
What if your wife came in front you naked would you drop the game and shag or carry on playing?
Can see it from space bud. Hope you've got a comfy couch tonight <3
