Icelander got the Kill Screen in Donkey Kong
"Very few people in the world have managed to get to this level" says Icelander Mr. Svavar Gunnar Gunnarsson, a masters student at the Niels Bohr institution and an enthusiast about classical computer games. Last Tuesday Mr. Gunnarsson managed to get the so called Kill Screen in the game Donkey Kong, he received 824.300 points and the machine crashed.
The term Kill Screen is well known among gamers. This happens when the memory of the machine is full and then the game crashes, sometimes this is called Winning the game at least in Donkey Kong. Steve Wiebe, a competitor from Redmond, Washington, attained this screen when he attempted to beat Billy Mitchell's Donkey Kong high score (which was the world record) on G4TV at E3 2009. It was the first kill screen to be broadcast on live television.
Mr. Gunnarsson started playing the game after he saw the documentary King of Kong. The documentary is about addicted gamers. "I thought that this was the best game that I have played. The game is addicting and you cannot stop playing"
"But then I stopped playing and didn't play for two years. When I moved to Copenhagen I found out that there was an arcade close to where I lived. In there I found Donkey Kong. I thought: Jesus Christ, I have to try to beat by record! I joked about getting the Kill Screen but then it just happened" he said and laughed.
The world champion in Donkey Kong, dr. Hank Chien, who has managed to get 1.100.000 points in the game, congratulated Mr. Gunnarsson on his Facebook page.
"It meant a lot to me to see my name on the list of people who have achieved this" Mr. Gunnarsson added.
I admire Icelanders actually, they told the crooked bankers to eat the fraud debt the banking system created and threw the crooked bankers in jails for fraud......and took back their country...To bad america wasn't more like Iceland.
Too bad America, the once shining beacon of hope for all, is now seen world wide as a corrupt, fraudulant, bankrupt, warmongering joke. I'd be embarrased to say I was an american if I was traveling abroad.
Kudos to MR. Gunnarsson for his accomplishment and his country of Iceland for jailing crooked bankers and not buying the fraud debt the crooked banking system created.
