How do you measure BEST?

Do they have a record for BEST computer software programs? BEST recipe for soufflé? BEST all-terrain vehicle commercially sold?

Guinness fails in so many ways now.  They don't even have a world record for Fastest Consumption of a 24-Ounce Bottle of Breakfast Syrup.

It is only a matter of time before URDB phases out Guinness.

My favourites are still Super Mario Bros 3 and... Ah damn! I love so many games! What sucks the most is that movies get 2 pages and games 1! And there doesnt stand anything about the adventure/rpg/puzzle genre! What a bastards! I want to be director of Guinness, I would give games 200 pages and movies 1 page... about gojira, gamera and king kong XD

I didn't buy a Guinness book since the 80s. Even back then I didn't buy it. Someone bought it for me.  ;)

I found it very interesting when my age was 1 digit. ;)

Now most of the world records seem just dumb.

With pleasure. I'M A CHARGIN' UP MAH LASER!  :D
In all seriousness, I have to admit the line-up is pretty weird, but at least the games listed are good.

Space Invaders and Pacman are not good anymore. The reasons (Im not going to rate on graphics, thats not fair)- Music- Pacman= Blip blip blip blip blip. Music Space Invaders- Does the game have music? Donkey Kong- Well... you HAVE a beat there so...
Anyway, the only thing whats good is the gameplay but its boring as hell.
My top 10 should be only nintendo... and one capcom: Megaman 2. Anyway, excuse me, ive to beat Dr Wily!

Guiness have an official book of video game records, it goes into alot of actual numbers and has a ton of stats on sales, dates, all that stuff.  My sister bought it for work and I had a read through but there's not really much new there and I wouldn't reccommend it.  It struck me more as an introduction to the world of video games - for those who are unfamiliar and didn't grow up with them all, thus lost if someone were to ask them what was the most influential etc.

I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat
