Victor Sandberg of Sweden has been playing Missile Command for more than 52 hours on a single coin, chasing a record that has stood since 1982. The all-time high world record high score of 80.5 million points is held by another Victor, in this case someone named Victor Ali.
[Update] Victor Sandberg is the new Missile Command world record holder, finishing with a score of 81,796,035 in 56 hours, 5 minutes, 53 seconds.
