\"Frankenstein's Monster\" - 4,900 pointsĪs for Rodrigo's recent world record achievements, they include.Īnd so, the Twin Galaxies proudly proclaims Douglas Korekach and Rodrigo Lopes as the new co-world champions on Atari 2600 \" Pitfall\". In addition to submitting this incredible new world record, Douglas also submitted several other new Atari 2600 world records, including these amazing scores. And if Douglas' assessment is correct, the best any gamer can hope to do will be to tie him for the world record.īut wait.there's more to Douglas' story. Todd Rogers, a former world record holder with 1:01 remaining, concurs that it will be exceptionally difficult if not impossible to top this world record completion time. However this will not qualify you for a ? Perfect Pitfall? due to the loss of one or more lives. Only gaining 4 seconds will enable you to catch the final vine to keep you ahead of the 1:42 pace by 4 seconds. To acheive 1:46, you have to intentionally lose both lives in the last scorpion tunnels, since you can only gain 2 seconds for each time you get hit by a scorpion. The new Atari 2600 \" Perfect Pitfall\" shared world record is an astounding 1:42 remaining (one minute, 42 seconds).ĭouglas believes that it is not possible to achieve a faster run without intentionally and strategically losing at least one life, and possibly two, and even then he believes that no better than 1:46 remaining can be achieved. As for Rodrigo's run, that was watched way back in June and only now has TG verified the score. While many gamers have attained the maximum possible score of 114,000 points, Douglas is one of an elite cadre of gamers in the history of Twin Galaxies to submit a verified recording with all 32 treasures collected on a single life.Įven more impressive is the fact that both players are one of four gamers in history who have done so with more than one minute remaining on the game clock.Īfter careful observation by both myself and Twin Galaxies worldwide Atari referee Todd Rogers, we are in agreement that Douglas' performance is genuine and is definitely going to be hard to top. To achieve what is known as a \" Perfect Pitfall\" is not an easy achievement.
Thus the two players effectively share the new world record achievement using their own particular styles and path choices. This was an understatement.Ī few days earlier, Rodrigo Lopes, who hails from Brazil, had also submitted an as-of-yet unverified run of 1:42 remaining which I have only just recently accepted.
He said he had beaten the new world record on a \" Perfect Pitfall\" for the Atari 2600 set by Daniel Vignes of the USA.
