He attempted the game three times (technically five). His final game was his best, with a score of 989,400.
Why was it "technically five"? Well, his second attempt started off really badly: he died at the beginning of Level 2! On the one hand, somehow it's comforting that even the very best players can mess up in the beginning levels. On the other hand, if even they can mess up that badly, what chance do we mere mortals have?
Then his third (technically fourth) attempt ended prematurely somewhere between 150,000 points and 200,000 points when the power went out. The cameras went blank, although you could still hear the audio for a while... which was a damn good thing, 'cause without it we'd have missed the funniest moment: Wiebe asking, "Is Billy Mitchell around? Where is he?"
On his last attempt he got to the infamous kill screen. By that point he was more interested in reaching the kill screen than points, since he still had an extra life left over (you're "supposed" to ditch your extra lives before then to rack up more points, since there are barely any to be made on the kill screen). I'm glad he made it there, though... not just 'cause it makes for a satisfying conclusion, but it also put one idiot who kept insisting that the version he was playing didn't have the kill screen in his place. God, I hate morons.
