Strange Achievements in Video Gaming Field

Everybody knows about Guinness World Records book but not many of lucky guys can place his/her name into this book no matter how hard they try. Though some of people are really make incredible things in different fields of life. Anyhow online games (or video games) haven’t been considered till now.

Till then let’s see what we have:

The most spread character in video games is well known Mario which appeared in 116 different games not taking into account remakes.

The biggest number of players in multimode racing game was 132. All players where racing in TrackMania at once.

The longest sentence in the jail was given to Faiz Chopdat from UK in 2002 for playing Tetris on his mobile phone while the plain was in the air. It means, when you hear “please, turn off your mobile phone till the end of the flight†– so better do it!

The greatest number of item had to be collected to complete the game was in Donkey Kong 64: in total 3821. Players had to collect: 201 golden banana, 3500 colored banana, 40 banana medals, 20 banana fairies, 40 maps,  8 keys, 10 crowns, one coin Nintendo and one coin Rareware. Plus in this game there are endless number of banana coins, watermelons and earphones.

The smallest Tetris in the world – in Dutch Vrije University, on faculty of physics, with a help of microscope the game took place. Its’ teraminos were made of smallest glass spheres. The diagonal of each block was about only 1 micrometer!

The largest number of invectives was said during a game Quake III Aren which takes only one hour of playing. GVC team said 4397 invectives including a few round oaths which nobody ever heard before. They also used a whole box of computer mice, because they were hitting mice on the table each time when they are shouted.

The longest guidelines for games were made for the racing game Gran Turismo 4 in China and Japan. The pamphlet included 212 pages with catalogues of automobiles, introduction to racing physics and different professional advises.

The first game which inspired compositors to create a ballet was Dragon Quest. Please let me know if anyone saw this ballet, I wouldn’t mind to see as well!

May be the facts I was telling above will inspire you to create a new opera, a movie, to write a book or to make a new world record. Perhaps anyone thinks that he / she made a world record already playing online games or flash games or video games (it doesn’t matter) – please let me know!

Is it a Possible 1971 Kennedy error? How would I know.?

I have a Kennedy half that I have "hung onto" for quite some time. Many yrs. back I found a 1971 Kennedy half while going thru boxes of halves. It has a "head shot" & on reverse has an Eagle "head/heart shot". It has a dimple in the head and the eagle's head and heart. It is a 1971 D and in pretty good shape. The dimple in the "head shot" bulges the other side, and the keart shot bulges the opposite side etc... I have looked at it under microscope and I also do not believe it was someone with too much time on their hands because of the appearance etc... I sent this question to someone and was told, that since there has never been anything recorded like this it must not be real, and they would give me face value. Of course I did not sell the coin to them. Well, there always has to be a "first" time for a documented error.

You might try posting this in the Hobbies and Crafts category. Or take the coin to an expert near you.

Best of luck! Sorry I can't be of more help.
