56 hours, 81m points, and the fall of Missile Command’s 30-year-old-record

by Larra Morris

Some numbers just stick out. Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 straight games. UCLA Men’s Basketball won 88 in a row. And for the classic gaming niche, Victor Ali’s 80,364,995 points on a single quarter in Missile Command looms just as large.

Today however, seemingly out of nowhere, a challenger rose up and dethroned the 30-year-old record live on Twitch.tv. Victor Sandberg, aka Twitch user diskborsteMC, played for more than 56 hours and surpassed 81 million points around 2:20 p.m. PST. Sandberg mentioned a desire to reach 100 million in total, but he ended with 81,796,035 total points.
