The Twin Galaxies website should honor BOTH trakball settings on Missile Command scores in SEPARATE categories (just as in fast/slow bullets on Bezerk) Not to do so is WRONG &/or DISHONEST! My 1985 Missile Command score (deleted by TG because I helped Steve Wiebe in the "King of Kong") is reinstated as "UNKNOWN" trakball setting AFTER being reported to Guinness WRs as "ON" setting! NEW WR; 1,147,395pts.@100rds./R8#4=ON!

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. in 1984,'85,'86&'87. Guinness did not accept any video game scores after 1986, due to inconsistancies and complaints against Walter Day and Twin Galaxies.

From the AMERICAN 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 never be solely accepted as an Official World Record (based on American Guinness philosophy). Video game machines and tapes can be altered/manipulated so that fraudulent game play is virtually undetectable (based on interperting Twin Galaxies' OWN rules). Taped scores submitted for verification can be used by competitors for unfair advantage! Only video game scores performed under the "American Guinness Tournament Standard" (AGTS) should ever be accepted as Official World Records.

Of the hundreds of scores and players submitted to the American Guinness Book of World Records we hereby declare the "TOP 10" games and select few players, and scores as the "best of the best" which/whom represent the heart and soul of classic video game playing. They are hereby inducted into the "Shock and Awesome" Classic Arcade Video Game Hall of Fame"

BREAKING NEWS: The virtuous British have issued Roy Shildt a GWR certificate (in 2006) to recognize his Missile Command achievement! Buy the GWR 2008 Gamers Edition! Some video game tournament settings used in the 1980s by Twin Galaxies are different from current TGTS (i.e. Pacman,Missile Command &Robotron). "The King of Kong" documentary exposes scumbags & inaccurate info.
