20,000,005 sets a new TG 7th place, once officiated.
It took about 44 hours. Played/Streamed live from the Kencade.
Thanks goes to Ken House and John McAllister

I am extremely happy with the outcome.
This 44 hr time frame is longer than any of my Missile Command or Asteroids Attempts.
Thanks to all those in the chat.

Good work Bill, good to see you're still giving it large sir.

Congrats on another monster effort.
