Asteroids Record Attempt Happening Now (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178660)
"At nearly 39 million points, Seattle native John McAllister is hours away from claiming the top slot on Twin Galaxies, the acting authority on videogame scores. The previous record of 41,336,440 by Scott Safran has remain unchallenged since November 13, 1982. Competitive Asteroids play is more a test of endurance than skill - Safran's original high score was the result of a 60-hour marathon run. McCallister is closing in on that fast, having just surpassed 54 hours at press time.
As an arcade game, Asteroids of course has no pause button. When McCallister needs to take short breaks from the game, his only option is to simply walk away and let some of his reserved lives get eaten away. "
So Retrouprising, how dedicated are YOU XD?
