Tony Snyder wrote: "In 1983 I set the world record for unassisted play on a video game called Q*Bert at a place called Showbiz Pizza in Minneapolis. I decided to solve the cube before starting and then again after, just to see what condition my mind would get to. Before starting the game I solved the cube in 31 seconds (early am, bad time). Then I spent half the week playing Q*Bert non-stop, finishing after 57 hours of continuous play and no sleep. I was awake for 3 hours before it started. So after 60 hours of no sleep I then solved the cube in 25 seconds. They showed some of this on local TV, and they did a write-up in March 1984 Electronic Games Magazine. BTW, I unexpectedly went colorblind for about 30 minutes during play, then recovered - lost about 300 Q*Berts during that time, but I had over 800 saved up so it was no big deal."
