Record stood for 20 years
Finally last week, the Redmond resident broke an 879,200-point record set last year by a New York man, which edged past one set nearly 20 years ago by Billy Mitchell, a Florida man generally consider the Don of the Arcade Game. Mitchell's mark was 874,300.

Wiebe scored 947,200 points in the 22 levels of the game. He sent a videotape documenting his feat to Twin Galaxies, the definitive scorekeeping organization for gamers.

I beat MTV's Mr. PacMac is going to have a busy summer trying to get his Donkey Kong score back. That guy was a winner.

EDIT: I still think the guy that beat Metroid Prime in under 2 hours is more impressive.

it is a hobby, you probably do some things that others think are "sad." I think its cool people still play classic games, I play some for fun sometimes.

Playing is fine, but seriously competing? Meh, to each his own.
