I have always been horrible at Missile Command. Roy Shildt would probably say I'm only good at sissy games.

Somewhere around 44.4 million now I can't believe he's still going. I started to watch around 11:30 last night.
48 million now...

yup just saw that closing in on 9th place 51,952,110 a score set way back in 1981. Some ones going to be pissed lol. Why has no one been able to get a score this high since the early 80's?

It's a very long time to play - not sure many folk can be bothered nowadays - at least with DK it's what, 2.5 hours max? This will be 2 days or more!
There's a lot of other 80's records no one bothers about - look at Robotron marathon records for example...all 80's, although I'm sure there are a few people out there capable of at least beating 10th place on TG.

Its over. I was watching when it ended. He will now be #6.
It seems he or someone else miscounted the number of cities he had built up. He was taking a break, not playing, and it stopped when it destroyed the last city. Great effort! It was the first time someone had officially broken 50 million in something like 25 years.

Looks like he finished at 54,764,415.

Yeah, I happened to be sitting here watching at that moment too. The other guys sitting there, "Uh, what just happened?!?"

I saw it too. Still an awesome score. Probably the highest legit score since all the ones from the 80's are rather suspect IMO.

you think he was pissed? Or you were? It didn't sound to me like he was pissed. A little amazed it happen and excited he had broken some records. Sounded mostly like he was celebrating to me.
what a bummer to get so far, yet still be so far away... he is really good at it, that's for sure! okay, bri, your turn next... 
allright, bri, it's on for CAX '10. a whole weekend should be enough time for ya, if you're up to it.
Me and a MC marathon won't be hapnin... EVAR. Thanks for the encouragement though.
you know it. carlton's game inspired me to work on a satan's hollow record. i'm gonna see what i can do for the 7 life platform, only one score up there right now. i should be able to do at least 250-300k easy.
