Potential Record Breaking Run Set for Arcade Game Food Fight
By Zac Cameron ·
The score, which is currently in the adjudication phase, could break a 17 year old record!
Food Fight, an Atari Arcade Game released in 1983, has a run currently sitting in Twin Galaxies adjudication which could break a nearly two decade old record. The current record was set back in 2001, and though anyone can challenge it at any time, this run could be the first new record set since then.
Food Fight is quite the challenging game, with the player required to navigate an increasingly difficult series of stages, made even harder by the requirement of doing so under “Tournament Settings”. With so much to focus on, it’s no wonder the record has survived unscathed until now.
Food Fight isn’t the only game with a longstanding record, with other titles putting up some very impressive numbers as well. Titles such as Defender, which took 23 years to beat the prior record, and who’s current record stands for 10 years now, or Q*Bert, which took 25 years to beat the prior record, and who’s records now stands at 6 years and counting.
