TurboGrafx 16/PC-Engine - Galaga '88/'90 TAS (Tool Assisted ScoreRun) - 1.7 million points

Galaga '88 (or Galaga '90 in the US) is my favorite TurboGrafx/PC Engine game. Was playing the other day and hit just under 1.5 million points - which is the highest I've ever seen anyone get. Being close to WR afaik, I decided to look up a TAS... and there weren't any I could find.

So I decided to try making one. I can't lie, it isn't perfect, but I think it's an okay start. If anyone more experienced wants to give it a shot, would love to see someone break 2 million points (though I'm not certain it's possible - though I have one theory for potentially unlimited points... need to see if the boss encounters time out if you don't shoot them... they constantly spit out enemies, and while they aren't worth much, you could maybe sink a few hours into killing them to boost score lmfao)

This is played on the secret hard/arrange mode, accessed by holding Up on title screen before hitting run/start. The first level and every non-scrolling level after a bonus round will give various powerups from the final enemy on screen when killed. They have following effects:

*Triple ship (doesn't take up any of your lives/extra ships) - also the only powerup available in the normal non-arrange mode - you find it on level 25, right before the final scrolling levels.
*Turbo autofire... almost a bit redundant since it's TG16, which has turbo buttons on stock controllers... but maybe it's faster than the turbo buttons? I dunno lol
*Increase number of bullets you can fire - normally, you can only fire two shots until at least one shot disappears from either hitting an enemy or going off screen.
*Faster ship.
*Extra life.
