180K isn't that hard.  Start at level 9 (the bonus for completing the
initial level is largest here), and work up from there.  Even if you're
not very good at all, Tempest lets you be progressive since it allows you
to start a new game at or near the last level you died on, provided you
drop in another quarter within something like 30 seconds after your last
game (drop in quarter, spin knob to highest starting level each time
you restart -- the bonuses themselves for completing that initial level
quickly become >100K.)
