After more than 20 years, on March 9, 2006, 

UK-based gamer Tony Temple set a new world record

of 1,967,830 points, also with Tournament settings as confirmed by Twin Galaxies. Temple's score
was published in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition, although Guinness
noted that the score was controversial due to Temple playing on game settings that increased cursor
speed and was therefore easier than those of Roy Shildt, the previous record holder. [30] Tony Temple
increased his world record on two occasions, culminating in a score of 4,472,570 [31] in 2 hours and 57
minutes–verified on September 9, 2010. This is the first verified time that a player passed wave 256
under tournament settings; the game difficulty starts over at wave 1 again.
