The 28 year old high score record for the classic arcade game Asteroids was broken Monday by a Seattle locksmith, John McAllister. It took the 41-year old 58 continuous hours of play to achieve the new benchmark. To cap his record he entered ELF as his moniker. It will take another 2 months for his score to be verified by the world record officials. The previous high score was set by Scott Safran just three years after the game was released and has held until now. McAllister beat Safran’s score by meager margin of 2,300 points, just edging out the record.
