I used to be a REAL quarter killer.  I've gotten some pretty high
scores in quite a few games....some are:

Robotron: ~2,000,000
Tempest:  ~690,000
Asteroids: forever
Monaco GP: ~12,000

Incidently, I'm not sure if this has been posted but Atari's Tempest
has some real neat "features".  If you get over 180,000 and end in
17 (maybe it's 13, been a long time) and then kill yourself and then
wait until the game begins it's demo, you'll get 40 free games.
MOST games have been fixed but there are still quite a few with the
door.  There are lot's of other doorways into Tempest, some other
magic numbers are (all >180,000) 00, 48, 13.  There is a way to
skip all the way to the green lavel but I never figured out how (hell,
with 40 free games I learned how to get there by myself!).
