Gaming history was made June 1st 2007 at the Funspot 9th Annual International Classic Game Tournament in Weirs Beach, NH when Steve Austin...err I mean Brian Kuh broke his previous world record of 16 coin-op records in one day by beating 17 this year.

Imagine the skill and endurance it would take not to mention the practice to set such a world record. Even playing that much coin-op in one day gives me tennis elbow and backache just thinking about it. Last years's record of 16 in one day had such notable games as Chase HQ, Paperboy, Super Sprint and Xenophobe among others with a combined points total of over 17 million points.

Fellow classic gaming record holder Billy Mitchell himself commissioned a poster to commemorate this remarkable achievement. At this point I think only Jaime Sommers or Lieutenant Commander Data could possibly match a performance like that. Hats off to you Brian, I think you've easily secured your place among gaming elite. Looking forward to hear about his exploits next year at Funspot's 10th Annual.
