A friend of mine won the all-time highscore LLamatron competition a
few years ago at a computer show.
When you get a high score in the game, it tells you to write to
LLamasoft and tell Jeff (Minter) what the score was.
All those with high scores were then entered (top 3 I think) to the
competition at a computer show.
Robbie won a portable CD Diskman and completely frazzeled the others'
scores.
I'm not sure what it was, but I'll find out and post it.
(note: it was tens of millions)

Antony.
