Twin Galaxies' Scoreboard Fills up new Computer Gaming Section | |
The Guinness World Records™ 2007 Book, now available on the worldwide newsstands, includes a new 4-page section on computer and video games
that features 68 video and computer gaming world records verified by the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard over the last 25 years.
Twin Galaxies™, now celebrating its 25th year as the worldwide scorekeeper for the video game and pinball industries, has entered into an alliance
with Guinness World Records™ to honor the champions of electronic gaming. Walter Day, founder of Twin Galaxies, says: "These published scores
represent the first time that Guinness World Records™ has recognized video game scores in nearly 25 years. Furthermore, it is the first time in the
52-year-history of Guinness World Records™ that pinball scores have been recognized."
Of the 71 gaming-related facts listed in the computer games section of the Guinness World Records 2007 Book, 68 of them were contributed by Twin Galaxies™, drawing on its vast archives of gaming records and historical gaming facts dating back to 1935. Among the many achievements published
in the book are the "fastest speed" runs for Halo 2 and Doom 3, Billy Mitchell's "perfect" game on Pac-Man and history's first pinball championship.
Twin Galaxies' also issues its own record book, Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records, a 3-volume set totaling 2200 pages, of which the first volume -- the Arcade Volume -- will be released beforeChristmas 2006. This volume will subsequently be followed by a "Console" volume and then a "PC-Gaming" volume.
