Live Web Broadcast of JOUST world record attempt
« on: October 22, 2010, 12:25:54 am »
Yesterday at around 3PM PST, John McAllister began his quest to beat a 25 year-old "Joust" record of 107 million points. His game is being broadcast live. It is oddly compelling to watch a skilled player in action - at 22 hours of play he has 47 million points.

EDIT: URL keeps trying to embed. Not sure how to correct this.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

MAME doesn't count toward the real record, only the MAME record.

You can tell it's not MAME...when the cliffs disappear, there isn't a pixel remaining.  :angel:

oh, makes sense.

He must have like 100 men right now, or something.

[edit] he had about 105 when he was done. Strange part is when you're done, you need to die, go to enter your initials. Killing all the extra men was somewhat long. lol.
