Asteroids: the greatest game ever
OK I just found this story interesting. Either that or I'm tired.

The champ is dead.

wow
41.3 million points is huge

after reading this i just had to check the date to make sure it wasn't posted on the 1st of April. i'm not sure if this article was supposed to be funny, but it really was.
the line "the fate of the cat is unknown" just cracked me up.
maybe i'm just sick.

it's a shame he's dead, though, a huge score like that deserves to be honoured.

42,000,000 points! I wonder if he used the lurker strategy that was possible on some Asteroids machines - where you can stay in the scoring field at the top of the screen and not get hit by rocks or shot at by saucers?
