everytime gorf is mentioned (in a video clip or internet article) todd rogers repeatedly claims to be the world record holder, then we have our very own 'gorfchampion'. so who currently holds the world record in "gorf"? (it's a snow day. i have waaaay too much time on my hands)
 
I heard #5 is a real dick as well....

Heh, nice one. ;)

Anybody know if Ron Corcoran is still active in the gaming scene at all? His MAME site ~10 years ago was a site I used to frequent often... haven't heard or seen that name mentioned in a long time.

I don't want to hurt anybodies feelings but Todd is sandbagging for a big event we are going to do a few months after the Kong Off. Todd stayed at my place for a few days and he put up well over a million in my home arcade.
I have also been playing Gorf (I have a hard romset in my home arcade and a easy romset at the arcade that I swap back and forth) on the easy romset i put up a 500K game (with Todd's tutilage)
I am yet to ask my homeboy Steve W. if he will play the 6 ship variation at the same time Todd is crushing the 3 man variation and we will have two new Gorf World records simultaneously. We are also going to do a Dragster demo ... Todd Rogers day is going to follow
www.thekongoff.com

I predict Steve Wagner day shortly thereafter..

Bosconian, Gorf, Cliffhanger, Berzerk, (fast and Slow Bullets) Swimmer, Elevator Action, Double Dragon 2, soon to be Strategy X and the list goes on and on and on


Did I mention our arcade is an Official Guinness sanctioned location??
2011 is the year of the Knucklehead

Congrats on the Guinness sanction, that is sweet. But I don't get what Todd has been up to. Based on his score on the previous post, has he been sandbagging since 82? Has he not submitted another score to Twin Galaxies since 82?

Well fellas, so far nobody has submitted a score higher than mine, so I am the current WR holder. No one has yet "crushed" my score.

I talked to Todd Rogers for quite some time(several times) at Funspot in 2009 and encouraged him to practice up and take back the WR. At the time he just didn't feel it was the thing for him to do, although I persisted.

One reason he never submitted a better score other than his former WR of 653,990 was because no one had ever challenged it. Why up the score without a challenger?

Who says 943K is my best score? Until someone officially beats it I stay in the #1 spot.

I will be the first person to congratulate Todd Rogers or Steve Wagner if my score(s) are toppled; just as Todd congratulated me when I met him for the first time at Funspot.

Until then.....
 
That is called "class"...

You're a classy guy GorfChampion...

...if/when your score is bested, do you change your nick to GorfRunnerup?

;)
 
Congrats on the score Gorfchampion- that is definitely sweet. And I get not submitting a better score if you are champ, but if he is throwing down 1M+ games at peoples' houses it does not sound like he just started doing it last month. And at nearly 2 years without the title, I would think he would want to be back on top pretty bad.

I like where this is going though, some nice new competition for world records can only help the hobby, and I am looking forward to seeing Gorfchampion and Todd duke it out. Also nice to hear that he was a nice guy when he met the new champ.

No! lol...."formergorfchampion"; that way I can keep the champion part in there ha ha

I'd have to stay off the forums until I reclaimed the title, so as not to tarnish my name...

Todd was really nice and fun to hang out with. He was able to grab Walter Day from the crowd for me so I could get pics with them together.

I was also able to put up 750K at Funspot in front of Walter Day.

Yeah, I'm not sure why people aren't filming these 1M+ point games, I know I would be.

Todd's a TG senior ref, so I'm not sure who has to be there to watch him live if its not being filmed. I suppose David Nelson would be the right candidate.
