25 Years Ago Today - Asteroids All Time High Score !
Wow - How did they keep the game plugged in for so long ?
1983: Fifteen-year-old Scott Safran of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, sets the world record score in the arcade game Asteroids — the longest-standing videogame high score in history.
Safran, who had been practicing nonstop at the game for the previous two years, agreed to play a marathon session of Atari's popular outer-space shooting game as part of a charity event in Pennsylvania. His mother drove him to the event and lent him a quarter, which he dropped into the machine Nov. 13.
Some three days later, having taken only brief bathroom and food breaks, Safran finished his game with 41,336,440 points, nudging out the previous world record held by famous old-school gamer and actor Leo Daniels.
What makes Safran's score so momentous, however, is that it has gone 25 years without being broken, giving it the longevity record for a videogame high score, according to the authoritative game-record keepers at Twin Galaxies.

JIM BROWN - Don't Play That !
After years of barging over husky defenders on the gridiron, ex-Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown is attempting to tackle two serious video game heavyweights in court.
According to Bloomberg, Brown has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America and Electronic Arts over using his likeness in the popular Madden football series. He seeks a court order preventing either company from continuing to use his likeness in the franchise as well as damages stemming from trademark violation.
At issue is the starting running back on Madden's "All Browns Team." The character is African-American and bears the same jersey number Brown made famous -- number 32. In the suit, Brown claims that he "never signed away any rights that would allow his likeness to be used."
He also mentions that unlike today's players, he was not given the option to negotiate terms during his NFL heyday.
"The NFL had league wide policy that players shall have no lawyers or agents when negotiating compensation," he said in the complaint. "Video games were not invented yet and no union to obtain rights from existed.''
EA and Sony have yet to comment on the matter.
THE NEW ADS FOR THE GAME HITMAN
Hitman, which is apparently some videogame movie I’ve never heard of and probably never will again; is making news for it’s rather transparent ad campaign.
Apparently if you look very closely at the crotch area of Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko’s sheer red dress you can see what appears to be her very own Sharon Stone moment.
While movie posters are normally submitted for the approval of MPAA censors; sometimes details just seem to go over censors’ heads such as the “Bigger, Longer, Uncut” title to the South Park movie.

THE GAMERATOR "YES, FINALLY" !
Sweet Jumping Pac-Messiah, this is a thing of endorphin-dumping beauty: The "Gamerator," a full-size MAME cabinet with a refrigerated interior that holds a pony keg that releases a stream of malty beer from a tap in front. It's available for auction right now on eBay starting at $2k (including a full list of games for which I highly suspect the makers do not have the proper licenses; maybe they should remove the list from the auction.)
Time to stock up on Depends, friends.
WHAT NO URINAL ?
