Den skal jeg helt klart se - må da også være lige noget for dig Vang!
Der er altid noget ret fascinerende - og dybt skræmmende - ved folk, der som besat bruger så stor en del af deres liv på at perfektionere deres evner indenfor den slags specielle områder.

Q. Do any other machines besides Donkey Kong have a "Kill Screen"?
A. Yes. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Burgertime, Dig Dug and a few other classics have a "Kill Screen." The “Kill Screen” is an unintentional end to the game that occurs when the machine runs out of or encounters a bug in the programming code. Billy Mitchell is credited with first discovering the “Kill Screen” on the official arcade version of Donkey Kong back in July, 1982, as the first board of level 22 (117 screens into the game). Mr. Mitchell first demonstrated the "Kill Screen" publicly in November, 1982 at the famous LIFE Magazine photo shoot. The "Kill Screen" is an important factor in the pursuit of the Donkey Kong record, because the game is so random-no two are ever the same.

Setting the record on Donkey Kong involves accumulating as many points as possible (point-pressing) before getting to the end of the game. The key is to maximize the points on each board on the way to the game’s end. Billy and Steve have developed ways to jump more barrels, smash more fireballs and push all 4 screens farther than anyone else in the world.

Så den for godt og vel et halvt år siden. Et spændende indblik i en verden befolket af ultra-nørder, der ikke skyer mange midler i jagten på topscoren. Masser af intriger og bagvaskelse :)
