I hate it when they do these kind of records on non-original hardware/software.

Q*bert is much too fast...makes it a shit-load easier IMHO....

Of course, it's still awesome but it's exactly like that Asteroids WR that was also live on the net about a year or so ago.....that was non-standard as well.

They should ban these kind of records on non-original set-ups altogether !

Well, he's some kind of bizarro Nolan Bushnell who used to develop games for Magnavox Odyssey.

From Klov:

'At 9:48am ET at the 57.5 hour mark his extra lives dipped below 9 for the first time. Ten minutes later it was all over. Total elapsed time was 57 hrs 40 mins, and the final score was 26,721,915. Thanks, George, for a monumental effort!'

57.5 hours !!! :o :o :o

Probably not Mame. Maybe it is the Faster Harder etc. version ? That is semi-official afaik.

You probably cant watch it on iPad because its in that old fashioned, processor eating Flash.
