GalagaMan celebrates Galaga accomplishment with the use of a Turbo Kit.

Boulder Colorado is known for alot of things, but two facts distinguish it from other cities:

  1. Boulder Colorado has been designated as America’s Fattest city
  2. A score of 999k with a Galaga turbo kit is considered an accomplishment

The city of Boulder is planning a parade and carnival to honor the event after Carlos Gordo published a YouTube video of his accomplishment.

“I think its worthy to mention that it was ten years to the day that I accomplished the same feat previously,” explains Carlos from a Boulder barcade.  “I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging, but the truth is not many people can do this with a Turbo Kit, much less with their own skills.”

The “Turbo Kit” is a modification used on Galaga and other game boards that changes the game play.  In this instance it allows more than 2 sets of bullets on the screen at the same time and negates pressing the fire button repeatedly, something that normally wears down an average gamer to exhaustion.

Many Boulder residence were unaware of the accomplishment, and some even questioned the validity of the video.  Stacey Luck, a single mother of two had this to say:

“I don’t know why I even clicked on the Galaga video.  But I watched it very carefully and something about it stinks.  Could it be that Carlos is using a performance enhancing deodorant?”

The Gaming Free Press called the Gordo household and Carlos passed the phone to his mother.  When asked she replied:

“Carlos doesn’t use performance enhancing deodorant.  He doesn’t use any deodorant that I know of.”
