The King of Stampede

November 03, 2025 | By **A. Sinclair**

The thing about goals, they must be measurable, and they must be achievable. That’s how I justify going after some low hanging fruit – beating Steve Wiebe’s score on an Atari 2600 classic.

Click to viewYou may remember Steve Wiebe, the protagonist of “The King Yono all app of Kong” (and with a cameo in the more recent “Four Christmases“). He has three scores listed at Twin Galaxies, the sanctioning body for all video game records. Of course, there’s his 1,050,200 on Donkey Kong, the subject of that documentary. He also has more than 1,000,000 on a Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr. double arcade board.

But the third? 2,193 points, good for 19th place on Stampede, an Atari 2600 game made by Activision way, way waaaaaay back in 1981, and whose sound effects open our video (no, you are not having sound card difficulties.)

So having no job, no prospects and no motivation, I set out for myself to beat Wiebe’s mark, to raise my morale and give myself a purpose in this time of uncertainty. It asked more of me as a gamer than anything I’ve ever undertaken, and pushed me to the limits of exhaustion and beyond. Because, of course, getting a registered high score isn’t as simple as beating a game, as I find out. And yes, the Early Times from Grand Theft Auto:DUI makes its triumphant return. (Note: that concoction I pour tastes like pure tobacco. I’m never doing that again).

I’d like to extend warm and sincere thanks to Walter Day, of Twin Galaxies, Yono all app and Steve Wiebe himself, for their participation in this project. Thanks Yono all app also to Seth Killian of Capcom, who pinch-hit as a cameraman for the in-car footage. And, of course, big thanks to Adam Barenblat for his editing and directing of this feature.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
