Jeff Willms makes it 8 out of 18, although improving on a score of 1,107,600 represents a more difficult challenge (compared to the others).

Scott Kessler actually self-reported that he had improved on his initial 1M game, but he never made the score known publically. I think because of his general reputation it was believed to be true.
--- Quote from: ChrisP on July 17, 2013, 10:41:46 pm ---It's really too bad that Tim Sczerby kept his first million to himself.
--- End quote ---
I think the reason(s) he withheld his scores were:
- TG 1M point rule (it's not a coincidence that every arcade 1M game on this list in 2008-2009 was unofficial)
- He did not want to submit unless he broke the WR at the time (1.05M).
giv:
I love the idea of a rule that says 1 million points+ must be done live. It's like my feelings on how you have to get out of your comfort zone, codified into law.
You want recognition, you gotta deliver the goods while the pressure's on, baby! ;D
(And before anyone gets all upset by it, know that I mean baby as a term of endearment and not in a derogatory fashion.)

Trivia question (I'm actually not sure of the answer):
Who had the first live 1M point game?
Xermon54:
Good question! Steve Wiebe didn't even get 1m live in KoK (got lik 985k?). Hasn't Scott Kessler gotten 1m in like 2009 or something like that at Funspot?
Don't tell me Hank you're the one that got 1m+ live the first at Funspot with your 1.09m?
