Arcade1up Cometh
So you’re a proud owner of an Arcade1up cabinet featuring one of your favorite 1980s or 1990s arcade titles such as the classic shoot ‘em up Galaga or the fighting action of Marvel vs Capcom. And after battling family members and neighbors, you’re the gameroom champion. Congrats.
But are you a world record champion?
In support of fostering passion and talent for video game playing, Twin Galaxies is continuously evaluating community interest in competing on new platforms and games as part of the TG community.
To that end, TG has added titles from the Arcade1up series to its leaderboards, meaning that you can now record and submit high scores for review and earn bragging rights for being the best Arcarde1up gamer on your favorite title, bar none.
To get things started, TG has added Arcade1up leaderboard tracks for Pac-Man, Galaga, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Marvel vs Capcom. While TG will be adding additional Arcade1up titles to its leaderboards, it will also be acting on community feedback so if you don’t see your favorite game when you visit TG feel free to post a comment on your wall.
Streaming World Records on Twitch

Now TG is taking these world-class performances and streaming a selection of them on its Twin Galaxies Live Twitch channel.
