Donkey Kong Million Point Timeline

[xelnia]

4 hours ago ACU-AZU scored 999,900.

100 points shy of 1m they killed their game off at L21-3.

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.

Looks like ACU-AZU may have got his true million back on New Year's: https://twitter.com/CueRetog/status/947790043891896320 (also retweeted on his page).

I was about to add Estel, but then I realized that now I have to re-number the whole goddamn list starting at #2.

I'll come back to it.

People are starting to ask more questions about the "first million", so here's the best I can gather. Everything is listed as claimed by the various parties, even though there are clearly issues with Billy's scores. So, I leave it to the reader to determine for themselves the first true million.

Score	Date	Player	Platform	Notes
1,014,400	~Summer '03	Billy Mitchell	"Arcade"	Direct feed. Revealed c. July 18, 2004 in NYC. Claimed to be "a full year earlier" than Wiebe's 1,006,600.
1,047,200	06/07/2004	Billy Mitchell	"Arcade"	Direct feed. The KoK/Funspot tape. Revealed c. June 6, 2005 at Funspot. Entered into TG database as the listed date.
1,006,600	07/04/2004	Steve Wiebe	Arcade	Played at home. Used an 8-way joystick, but NOT a DDK board.
1,049,100	08/03/2006	Steve Wiebe	Arcade	Played at home. Minor continuity break in post-game filming (turns off cab before showing PCB). Joystick, PCB, and gameplay are legit.
1,050,200	07/13/2007	Billy Mitchell	"Arcade"	Direct feed score from Florida Mortgage Brokers event.
1,000,600	04/28/2008	Scott Kessler	Arcade	Self-reported home score. Supposedly upped his score later.
1,000,200	10/03/2008	Steve Wiebe	Arcade	Performed live at 2008 E for All Expo.
1,024,100	12/31/2008	Tim Sczerby	Arcade	Tim's first million. Performed at home.
1,026,700	05/07/2009	Dean Saglio	MAME	"First" MAME million.
1,019,900	06/25/2009	Tim Sczerby	Arcade	Tim's fourth million point game.
1,037,700	09/13/2009	Hank Chien	Arcade	Home score, some footage of the end of the game.
1,005,800	09/26/2009	Hank Chien	Arcade	Performed live at Richie Knucklez' Arcade.
1,034,700	February '10	Tim Sczerby	Arcade	Home score, "a week or two before Hank's WR."
1,061,700	02/26/2010	Hank Chien	Arcade	Home score.
1,062,800	07/31/2010	Billy Mitchell	"Arcade"	Direct feed score from Boomers.
1,064,500	08/30/2010	Steve Wiebe	Arcade	Home game, verified by TG. No public footage.

Billy had 1,014 a full in 2003?...........I call Bullshit because if that was the case it would have been headline news at the time, plastered all over the internet and to the point it would have made my local news like the perfect PacMan. I heard NOTHING of this 1,014 game in 2003!

If Billy really did score that high in 03 it would've most assuredly been registered on the TG score Board above my 879,200 that would be 2nd place.

Not like Billy to sit on such an achievement and keep it secret for a years.

Just more crap to try and alter the true timeline and confuse people as to who did what and when. I thought Dk forum banned Billy? If they allow that score, I will never submit again.

Did you miss the part where it says Everything is listed as claimed by the various parties, even though there are clearly issues with Billy's scores? Do you see a 1.014M on the DKF leaderboard? That timeline is put together the way it is to show all claims and give context. Not everything is a fucking conspiracy. If you want people to know the truth and true history, they have to know the bullshit that goes along with it.

Happy to add my man Scott Cunningham to the list.  Interesting score, as it's a tie for the Wiebe peebee!

The standard 700 point result on 22-1 could have broken the tie, but barrel #3 had other plans.

Of course, the unintentional 3rd man "sac" on 21-4 didn't help my cause either.

I wish there was public footage of Steve's 1.064
As for the 1.006, I can't find any footage except for a link to a now-deleted youtube video. The WR DVD is in someone else's possession, so only the TG Referees and whoever got the DVD's(yes there were multiple copies) have seen the full first million on DK.
