Last month, George Leutz set out to topple a high score nearly 28 years old: Q*Bertās all time mark of 33,273,520. Itās believed that it would take playing for 70 hours on a single quarter to beat that score. Halfway into it, someone kicked a power cord, (seen above) and all of Leutzās work was lost.
