That's also fair enough I see you are from Germany! Come to Copenhagen and have a 24 hour Gyruss battle with Kim! The machine that's at the arcade is his, but he actually has another one at home.
Denmark vs. Germany - who will win?
Will let him know about your TGTS score, and will update with his score after 5 men. Do you know about this european forum:
http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php ? Lots of people from Germany, Netherlands etc. think you should be able to find someone with a Gyruss near you.
Copenhagen is unfortunately not what I would call just around the corner. Maybe for my next holiday who knows.
About the dragonslairfans forum, yeah I know this site might actually be the better choice to find a Gyruss cab near germany.
Only problem could be that many ppl have the konami pcb in their cabs and TG only tracked the centuri version for both arcade tracks.
Funny thing is Michael Bangs WR was played on the Venus bootleg so I still wonder why they forced ppl to use the century version if the official marathon WR score was not even played on original hardware.
Anyway if I would have to choose between marathon and TGTS I would always pick TGTS since imo this is the way more challenging track but like I said before others might think different and prefer the marathon track.
Like JCHarrist already suggested, tell Kim about the forum here, I would enjoy to talk about Gyruss with him and besides that he already plays Donkey Kong so he has no other choice
Once you start to play DK you belong to the DK community here in other words you are property of this forum
40 million in 30 hours is really not to shabby. Thats like 1.33 million an hour. 222 men to kill off when he quit and see it only too 15-20 minutes. Is he playing non-stop because you really dont have time to nap. I'm curious where this goes because I will start getting serious about doing this and also thinking about Galaga too.

Actually there is enough time to make breaks. My last TGTS record of 9,4M would have given me almost 13 minutes to rest so enough time to eat something go to the toilet etc....
Either a break every 10M or a bigger break at the time before you reach the 255 max ship limit to avoid the 0 ship disaster haha
Denmark vs. Germany - who will win?
This should happen!
This already happened and germany won
Well not on Gyruss but on the arcade screenshot quiz on a german arcade shop.
I knew his name sounded familar.
Watched until now and his 5 ship score was pretty good. A bit over 2,2M so he for sure plays not half-assed haha
He is for sure good enough to break the record from Bangs cause like he plays right now he will be able for short breaks or even one or two *longer* breaks so 47M+ should be doable imo
