I was looking at an old copy of the Guinness book of records recently (1999 I think) and in it is had a section for video games.
The game in question was Mario Kart 64, and apparently some guy held the record for the fastest completion of a track (even though the recorded time was frankly not exactly amazing).
Just wondering if anyone out there has tried for a Guinness World Record for gaming ? If so how do you get Guinness to recognise that your attempt is valid.
Why did they pick Mario Kart 64 out of all the games out there ?
Strange isn't it.

When The broadband adapter comes out for GC then you could play tounrments of games like After Dark to find a world champion and get a record. Maby. I like it anyway.
His time was probaly fast but most of us could beat it. We well I didn't know that they had a section for games in the record book.
Maybe they could do one for how many enimies were killed on a certain level in a certian time on Perfect Dark or somthing.
I would think that I hold the record for.................
well, erm nothing. Ok maybe being the best at Goldeneye but nothing else. ;)
I do believe that I am pretty good seeing that everyone that I have played I beat. Even the so called "amazing players" Remote mines on Facility is my favorite.

I suspect if you made up a challenge, and went to them with it, they'd let you do it.
Then you'd be in the record books, at least until someone looked at it and said "I can do it quicker than that" and beat it.
