To ascertain what scores in video games are actually world records, a nation wide
competition was held under the auspices of Twin Galaxies with Walter Day as coordinator,
across the continent.
The results of the competition are in the accompanying chart. The winners and their scores
have been verified by qualified judges. This was the first competition of this kind and plans
are to continue this under the same auspices annually.
