Ian Lawson and Scott Meltzer contested fiercely in that ares, and the most recent record is around 800, to Ian. Scott even managed to finish the game one day, in about 60 minutes of solid play.

When we discovered that we would likely not get to play MacBrickout in year 12, terror hit. People were already considering the withdrawal effects that would tear their lives apart, as they were forced to WORK in computer studies. So, Phillip Shaw and me set about creating a windows brickout game, in an attempt to save the lives of all addicted to the game.
