Moon Patrol record from 1982 shattered

Star classic era gamer Eric Ginner was way ahead of the pack in November 1982 when he set a record on Moon Patrol of 740,070 points.  Only one other gamer in the 1980s achieved even half of Eric's score, which subsequently stood for 26 years.  Ben Falls of Brooklyn, New York was the first to strike in May 2009 with a new world record of 903,580.  Rival Tom Votava from Scottsdale, Arizona responded in July 2009 with a lofty 985,970.  Ben shot back only weeks later with a mind-boggling 1,014,820, the first ever verified arcade score over 1 million on TGTS.  But not to be outdone, Tom brought out the big guns with a staggering 1,414,660.  This also tops the MAME record of 1,320,450 set back in 2005 by Jacob McHale.
