I know what you mean.... one of the records that Ive always wondered about was robotron .. 300+million according to TG. getting a million if a feat its self let alone 300+ million! would love to see a video on how they did it. Cant remember where I heard it...perhaps KING OF KONG...but a bunch of the top players back in the early 80's got together...had some photo shoot and one of the top players them called out another for fraud and he couldnt deliver. photos can be doctored, videos can be too. ..its hard to tell nowadays |

I've watched John Mcallister's internet streams twice for his world record breaking scores -- Joust and Asteroids. Believe me, they're real. Once you've completely figure out a game, patterns to use or tricks to maximize your score, it turns more into a question of endurance than skill. Anyone can learn how to play a game and train your muscles to react quickly enough, but the real question is, can you play that game for 50+ hours straight to achieve a world record. Would you want to? I surely don't have the mental capacity to stay awake for that long. I get loopy by the 30th hour. :dizzy: |

It seems fake scores were somewhat common back then. Steve Sanders admits to it and discusses it in King of Kong and Chasing Ghosts. |

One person makes it common? |
