George Leutz's attempt at the all-time Q*bert world record was still going strong Friday evening, almost 36 hours after he had started his quest to topple the 28-year-old record score.
With hundreds of lives still remaining as the business day at Richie Knucklez Arcade Games began to wind down, the Q*bert machine reset after a nearby machine was unplugged, ending the record attempt near a reported 16.8 million points.
The Gamer Writes "The video game industry has grown rapidly over the years. With millions of titles in existence today, gamers are sure to find a game they would enjoy. However, despite the numerous modern titles launched, retro games continue to thrive and remain popular among gamers. There is just something about these old-school gems that provide us with a sense of joy and comfort different from what modern experiences can offer."
