A Swedish Gamer Is Attempting To Play 'Missile Command' For 100 Hours Straight

In March, 27-year-old economics student Victor Sanberg broke the high score record, which was set in in 1982, over 56 hours of gameplay.

Now he has shattered that record and aims to play the game for 100 hours on a single credit. Owen Good of Kotaku notes that would be a record across all arcade games.

Sandberg builds up extra lives so that he can step away from the machine for up to six minutes at a time, but playing over days obviously takes its toll.

Here's what he told Killscreendaily.com in March:

"It's kind of horrible actually. The first thing I always notice is that my back starts to hurt after about an hour or so. Then, my shoulder starts to hurt. I get really weird thoughts in my head. I keep thinking the same thoughts over and over again. Like hallucinations. I have some paranoid feelings, like there is someone standing behind me. ... You know, just watching me. It was a little weird. After the twenty-sixth hour, the shapes in the room start to move or something. I don't know. It's hard to describe. It definitely messes with your head to play that long."
