George Costanza's Frogger Record Shattered

[GamerMan316]

Only posting this as it's associated with the greatest sitcom of all time (in my opinion of course) 



The one shining achievement in the life of Seinfeld's George Costanza is no more, as a Connecticut man shatters the fictional Frogger record previously thought unattainable by real people.

In the 1998 Seinfeld episode "The Frogger," George Costanza tries desperately to save the Frogger machine that holds his greatest achievement - the fictional world record score of 860,630 points. The episode ends with a battery-rigged arcade machine getting smashed in traffic in homage to the classic game, the record of the achievement lost forever.

Not that it matters now, as George now holds the second-highest Frogger score of all time. Pat Laffaye of Westport, CT racked up an enormously impressive 896,980 points, beating the fictional character soundly. The score was verified by referee Eric Akeson of arcade record-keepers Twin Galaxies and announced at the stroke of midnight on January 1st.

"Even though it was imagined by television writers, Pat has broken one of the most famous scores in pop culture," Twin Galaxies Division Manager Patrick Scott Patterson said. "Pat's amazing score will now forever be attached to not only Twin Galaxies history, but pop culture trivia as well."

Pat also holds the world record score for Paperboy and apparently has far too much time on his hands.

I loved Seinfeld also and remember this episode.
You not challenging for this score Craig or because of lack of gamerscore you don't care for it?

Damn good show, not as keen on the newest season, still funny but I prefer the older stuff.
