Donkey Kong Arcade World Record Broken
Thanks to EvilAvatar for pointing to a TwinGalaxies report revealing the world record on the classic Donkey Kong has been smashed, with a score of 947,200 by Washington gamer Steve Wiebe. According to the post, "Steve's achievement took nearly 2 hours of game play, and although he had lost his third life relatively early in the game, he kept things going for a remarkable period of time, reminding gamers everywhere: 'Never give up, never say die', classic advice from another Donkey Kong master, legendary gamer Bill Mitchell." Detailed stats reveal there are 116 playable screens that you can complete before reaching the impossible-to-complete 'kill screen' on this classic title, and it appears the magical million mark may theoretically be attainable.
2 hours of barrel throwing? Damn Donkey Kong must be tired.
to play donkey kong for 10 minutes, let alone two
hours. Now, give donkey kong a railgun or put him
in a racecar and let me play against some human
victims and I could play for 36 straight hours.
For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.
Peter Jones scored a record 123,372 in Solitare during his 10am conference call this morning. His boss congratulated him with a slap on head and a hearty "stop goofing off, jerkoff."

To play Donkey Kong
and forsake rail gun giblets
is to be enlightened
This was one of the first video games I ever played. Played it on a BBC micro if I remember right. Very cool back then.
Anyway. I managed 7600 points, first go on the Java emulator. Surely a million isn't that hard :p
