Dean Saglio blows away the top Donkey Kong score

Ever since the documentary movie The King of Kong (and beforehand, too), numerous players have topped the long-standing 874,300 1980's Donkey Kong score by Billy Mitchell.  That list included Dean Saglio, who last November on MAME made a superb mark of 1,073,000, the topmost score ever officially achieved.

The arcade record recently increased to 1.06M, and was closing in on Dean's score... until an early morning game on April 19th, 2010, where Dean pushed things past even a rumored high of over 1.12M by Billy, to a colossal MAME result of 1,136,400 points !  Now, the only question is, can someone raise the bar on the arcade platform, to match...

Hef's Little Black Book (2004)

Game playing gives you something else to think about. It’s a great escape. That’s all it is. Working hard and playing hard has always been what my life has been all about. Particularly if you are doing things you really enjoy.

When I first published Playboy, Outdoor adventure magazines were very popular. But as I wrote the introduction to that initial issue, I was a little more interested in the Great Indoors. Apparently, I was not the only one. Indoors is where my favorite games are played.

When You’ve got the Hand Protect It – Page 105

It’s certainly true that we went through periods of obsession in the Game Room, especially related to individual pinball and electronic games. Shannon Tweed, my girlfriend from the early 1980’s talks about the fact that she and the other girls viewed themselves as Pac Man widows because they would sit there for hours waiting for us to get through these games. I played Pac Man so obsessively that I got bursitis - like tennis elbow for the thumb – and had to start wearing a glove during games.

Right above the different arcade game cabinets there are plaques with high scores. You might be surprised that Hef is pretty good at Pac-Man!

The videographer could have done a better job getting all of the items in Hef's gameroom, but this is better than nothing:
