4/10/2009 |
 Iowa gamer Tim McVey made international headlines in January 1984 for being the first official gamer in the world to break 1 Billion points on a video game.

Tim's final score of 1,000,042,270 stood for 25 years, 1 month, and 1 week before finally falling on February 22.
On the morning of Friday, April 10, Tim McVey will sit down at an original Nibbler machine in his home to once again attempt to run the gauntlet and regain his famed record... and the entire world gets to watch it LIVE!
Tim will have several friends and family, including legendary gaming personality Trickman Terry, in his home during this two-day attempt. A webcam has been set up on the Nibbler machine itself so that the entire world can view the live footage of the record attempt throughout Easter weekend. Another set of cameras will be recording the record attempt for official submission to Twin Galaxies should he reclaim the score.
