My wife's a Bubble Trouble demon. Her high score is over 17 million.
She's rolled over the 50 levels multiples of times (473 levels) in
dozens and dozens of games. She discovered a bug in the Classic version
that turns a bouncing ball into a sitting "death ball" that just racks
up the points, but to hit over 400 levels, one must be good. ;-) But
she's always been good at arcade-type games. I gave up playing Pacman
and Donkey Kong when I met her. ;-) (does that date me?) I'm more a
Solitaire and Marathon gamer myself. Still play Marathon (in X,
nonetheless!)
