DK master Robbie Lakeman has (yet again) raised the bar on arcade Donkey Kong, rolling his way to a supreme 1,260,700 point score earlier this week. He just edged the old record of 1.259M, set last year by John McCurdy. Now, can anyone reach 1.27M, or are the 1.260's the limit ??

Twin Galaxies declared today that famed cag gamer Billy Mitchell has submitted multiple Donkey Kong performances that were not derived from an original machine PCB. *All* of his arcade scores at the site have been removed, and he is banned from participating there in the future.

After making a large 1.23M DK score in late 2017, Robbie Lakeman has again raised the bar on Donkey Kong, notching a streamed 1,247,700 point triumph yesterday. A historic score of one and a quarter million is on the horizon, and I predict it will happen... within a few months.
