New Hampshire Man Grabs Domino Man Title
Donald Hayes, of Windham, NH, has become the first modern player on classic arcade video games to hold four seperate world records concurrently. By recently adding the very difficult Domino Man game to his stable of growing titles, he continues his run on Billy Mitchell's record of five major classic titles held simultaneously during the 1980s. Hayes now holds the championship belt on Super Zaxxon, Tron, Centipede and Domino Man - all very challenging games. "Add one more title to the list," said Walter Day, Editor of the forthcoming Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records, "And Hayes will duplicate the five-some that Billy Mitchell achieved in the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records back in the early 1980s."
Mitchell appeared in the Guinness book as the world record holder on Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong, Jr. and Burgertime. A sixth title, "Marathon Centipede," was not mentioned in Guinness, even though Mitchell's 25 million points still stand as the Centipede marathon record today.
"Hayes may prove to be one of the greatest classic gamers to emerge in the last decade," said Billy Mitchell. "Anybody who can simultaneously hold the titles on both Centipede and Tron has serious talent."
