Steve Wiebe is a middle school science teacher from Washington and has the “Donkey Kong” world record: 1,049,100 points. To attain the score, he says it required skill, tenacity, a deep understanding of the speeds of video game barrels and fireballs — and the patience of a wife who no longer wanted her husband to spend his time on the arcade machine in their garage.
