Donkey Kong Million Point Timeline
ChrisP:
I'm glad I put together most of this info last year, before the TG forum went down. This would not have been possible otherwise.
FFS, we really, really need to pry the old TG forum out of Richie's hands, since its obvious that he never plans to put it back up.
I'm looking through this file I have that has notes on various TG threads, and I want so badly to be able to read them. There is SO much DK history on that forum. I know it doesn't matter to Richie, but it matters to me, and others.

Don't forget about the female player from Washington that did it in early 1982... I "know", because Cat told me.

1M is the new killscreen.
Great list! A few notes/corrections (off the top of my head so you may want to double check me):
Steve Wiebe's 1.006M game was done on an 8 way joystick (not 100% sure)
As you mention, Billy did have an unofficial 1.014M or something like that, but his first official submission was was 1,047,200. (see http://superbunker.com/resources/dkt/)
Scott Kessler's 1M was done at home. His FS performance was just a run through (89xK).
My first 1M was at home and not TG verified (TG recording rules at the time didn't allow recorded 1M scores).

Looking back at that, this has to be one of the worst rules ever instituted. Thankfully they got rid of it.

Thanks for the info, Hank.
It's really too bad that Tim Sczerby kept his first million to himself. If he was sore about not getting recognition in KoK, the adulation over being the third player to a million would have at least healed the wound a little, not to mention told the world that he was right up there with Billy and Steve. I understand why he'd have a beef with TG in 2008, obviously, but why bother even doing it to prove yourself to everybody if you're not going to let it be known that you did it?
And his 1,032 in 2010 is still a huge score even today. He's angry about being pushed aside, but ever since the movie it's almost like he's pushing himself aside.
As for Steve, I'm not gonna worry about or note the 8-way. That game is too important to question on a technicality (especially since the technicality makes the game harder!)
