My guess is that it's there if you're playing Single Player so that the right side of the screen won't be blank.</p> <p>Now take a look at this screenshot from Galaga</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/stats2.png" /></div> <p>Once you end your game, you're presented with your 'Hit/Miss Ratio', which tells you how accurate you were with your shots.</p> <p>What do these things have in common?</p> <p>Mostly that they don't really mean anything. It might be kind of interesting to know your accuracy, or if your Tetris puzzle gave you lots of Z pieces, but you can't really do anything useful with the data, and it won't really make you a better player.</p> <p>So don't sweat it.</p> arcade galaga general meta NES pro tip statistics tetris Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:14:49 +0000 Will 509 at http://protipoftheday.com
