After Steve Wiebe reclaimed the world record high score in Donkey Kong in September, the Seattle teacher said there still was āroom at the topā left for future challenges. Heāll try to beat his own mark in about two weeks.

Wiebe, whose 1,064,500 in Donkey Kong is currently the top mark, thinks a score of 1,150,000 is feasible despite the notorious āKill Screenā glitch that keeps the game from running infinitely. Heāll take three cracks at the mark on Jan. 15 at Chicagoās Logan Hardware, and also will conduct a class on how to play Donkey Kong. A seat in the class, if youāre in the area, will cost $12.
Logan Hardware is reopening with a collection of 30 golden age arcade games, including Asteroids, Centipede, Frogger, Pac-Man, Joust, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and many more. Wiebe will go after the Donkey Kong marks in three 90 minute sessions beginning at 3 p.m.
