Donkey Kong Million Point Timeline

[ChrisP]

Oh my god, Thomas Bauer FINALLY did it!

Over 900K and missed it how many times?? More than anyone else, that's for sure!

That might be one of the biggest reliefs in the history of Donkey Kong.

There are a few inconsistencies between the timeline and the main High Score List, with respect to the asterisk indicating a personal best that has yet to be improved.

#		Player		Date		Score		Platform		Verification?
8		Jeff Willms		08/16/2011		1,107,600		MAME		TG (3rd MAME million)
17		Svavar Gunnar Gunnarsson *		05/29/2013		1,008,800		Arcade		Live
26		Ethan Daniels *		01/10/2015		1,041,100		Arcade		Stream
34		Martin Laing		03/05/2016		1,026,800		Arcade		Stream

The entries for Jeff Willms and Martin Laing should include the asterisk.

The entries for Svavar Gunnar Gunnarsson (1,010,800 on 03/29/2014) and Ethan Daniels (1,049,100 on both 06/15/2015 and 04/30/2016) should not.

Jeff - sometimes I forget that his KO2 score didn't quite beat his MAME score.

Svavar - had no idea that Svavar got two 1M scores. Cool. I thought the 1,010 was the original score, and it's been long enough at this point that my memory wouldn't know the difference between 2013 and 2014. Definitely added to the confusion that the scores were so similar!

Ethan - pure laziness on my part. He got 1,041 during DKO6, then there was the lightning storm score, then there was the tie, and all three were 1,04-odd, so at a glance my brain said "OK", derp. Again, the "similar score" problem.

Martin - the boner here is mysterious. I have no idea how that slipped through.

TY!

I figured, after my close call on the 4th of July, somebody would sneak in before me with another first-time million. Somebody did.

Who knows, maybe it will be 3 or 4 more by the time I get deep again.

Congrats Joe!

Thank you Chris. Yeah, I'd say Aaron, Chris Gleed, Dan Dock, Ike Hall, Tessler of course, Riley (the most dominant performer of all time), Todd, BA, Billy Gaines, Billy Mitchell, and probably a few others. But yeah man, totally. You got dis.

Sucks that he killed the game off but that is still really cool. Can someone try to find out why he did it? The only reason I can think of is if he thought that was the maximum..?

Wes and I met this guy during Wes' trip to Japan earlier this year. It turns out he stopped intentionally at 999,900 so the score would show all those 9s.
