Billy Mitchells' Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr. WR scores shown in Ottumwa Iowa Aug. 2010 @ the BIG BANG EVENT are INVALID because they were both taped by direct feed from the video game machine directly to the camera. It is impossible to know if he played with a 4 or an 8 way joystik! Billy Mitchells' 7th PLACE showing (with a score of 800k+ after 2 days) @ the KONG OFF EVENT in Flemington NJ Mar. 2011 demonstrates his inferior ability! ALL scores achieved by live play and not part of a contest MUST be filmed properly as by Guinness WRs criteria no matter WHAT Twin Galaxies says!

The Scores are SHOCKING! the Players are AWESOME! Support the LEGACY!
Most historians agree that the Golden (Classic) Age of video games is a 9 yr. period beginning with the release of Space Invaders in 1978 up through and including the first release of Street Fighter in 1987. During that period the Guinness Book of WRs printed video game world records for 4 yrs.(1984-87). Guinness WRs did not print any scores after '87 due to complaints against Walter Day and former Twin Galaxies staff!

From the USA GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS 1986:
"Highest score records are meaningless because of the tremendous variance between the games and cassettes available for play at home and in arcades. Each machine, each joy stick setting, each environment is different so that skill and endurance cannot be measured and compared with precision. Therefore the only records worth publishing are those of contest winners."

Some gaming scoreboards are accepting video taped scores as world records and that is a good way to help verify a world record. But, a taped performance of a video game score should be accepted as a TAPED World Record (based on Original Guinness philosophy). Video game machines and tapes can be altered/manipulated so that fraudulent game play is virtually undetectable THEREFORE the taped scores must be supported by expert scrutinization of live play skill quality! Live scores submitted as Official World Records MUST be filmed as well!

Of the hundreds of scores and players submitted to the Guinness Book of WRs we hereby declare these select few players and scores as the "best of the best" which/whom represent the heart and soul of classic arcade video game playing. This scoreboard is under constant revision until the GRAND CEREMONIAL release!

In the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records Gamer Edition Roy S(c)hildts' WR Missile Command score of 1,695,265 pts. was deemd as played on the slow cursor setting based on physical evidence satisfactory to GWRs! A "Players' choice" of fast or slow cursor speed for missile command WR scores using TGTS on the www.twingalaxies.com website is a SHAM!
