Any results on the non-DK games played that were on the TG site?  I can't find any mention of anything regarding the other games. 

[hchien]

Sam broke the Ms. Pac Turbo record (something like 946K with only one killscreen).

Don and McAllister broke the Joust doubles record.

Don broke the Satan's Hollow record.

I don't know the scores for the last 2.

[TheSunshineFund]

I thought there was Berzerk/Frenzy/Rally-X/Millipede/Dig Dug/Tron/Pac-Man, etc also.

[LMDAVE]

I don't remember seeing a Rally-x there. David Cruz got a perfect pac-man live at the 1UP, I had no idea, thats pretty impressive to do it at such an event. Bobby Wilson set a record for Puzzle Fighter 2 with a score of 507,860

[danman123456]

IIRC

Rally-X not working, Burgertime not working, Tron - John did not get the record, Dig Dug - No record, Pac-Man - David Cruz got a perfect Pac-Man, Berzerk - They actually played several versions of both frenzy and berzerk. No records set here, Millipede - Several attempts but no record. Think the high was 348k by Don, Joust - Lonnie attempted the marathon but no joy, Satan Hollow - Don got record with 42million, Joust 2 player went down with John and Don, Ms Pac Man turbo record was set by Sam and Puzzle Fighter 2 record went down as well.

[marinomitch13]

Yeah, it was a no-go on the BT slowdown attempt. A combination of 1) Rusty Quarters closing, 2) me not getting my Jamma machine in time, 3) me feeling sick at the KO3, and 4) me staying up all night with Joel West on Saturday night caused me to not be able to make an attempt on Sunday.

However, I had a good conversation with Don Hayes, and he made a super obvious suggestion about BT to me that makes me think that as soon as I can order a 60-in-1 board I may actually practice for a WR on BT for next year!

Thanks Dave!

[hchien]

Did Cruz get the perfect PacMan?  I thought from the snapshot I saw, he died once (was 90 points shy).

I think he got it the next day. I didn't see the game but I did see the signed marquee.

[corky]

David Cruz did indeed get a perfect pac, and Joel beat the record for fastest to a million on frenzy by 30 mins

[marky_d]

Was David's perfect pacman turbo or normal speed? I don't think that was mentioned anywhere. I assume it's normal speed unless specified?

[lakeman421]

It was normal speed I believe

Think the high was 348k by Don, Joust - Lonnie attempted the marathon but no joy, Satan Hollow - Don got record with 42million, Joust 2 player went down with John and Don, Ms Pac Man turbo record was set by Sam and Puzzle Fighter 2 record went down as well.

I think everything they'd mentioned ahead of time except for Burgertime, Rally-X and Popeye was on the floor.  There were strong scores on a lot of games but I think all the new records have been mentioned.  Hector was playing some Track 'n Field 1 man marathon and Single Loop Hypersports (there was some problem with the buttons where Hector was having problems getting decent speed on Weightlifting making WR attempts on multi-loop Hypersports unfeasible). 

They had a Gorf on the floor that had the fun hard romset on it, but they ended up switching it out for the lame easy romset so someone could make a run at the 7 man record (he came up short with I think around 700-800K).
