Steve Wiebe is continuing to pursue his previously held title as the holder of the highest score in Donkey Kong. Recently, Wiebe has made four well publicized attempts at regaining the Donkey Kong title. They are:

On August 19, 2007, at the Alamo Draft House in Austin, TX, Steve scored 695,500 points while Twin Galaxies Founder Walter Day served as the official referee. [8]

On March 6, 2008, in Las Vegas, Steve Wiebe played in front of a fluctuating crowd of 1,900 party attendees in the TAO Nightclub in the Venetian Casino during Microsoft's MIX08 event. During that attempt, Steve Wiebe achieved two scores: first scoring 929,800 points and reaching the "Kill Screen" and then 579,300 points on the second try. According to Twin Galaxies records, this is the sixth time someone had reached the "Kill Screen" during a public gaming performance (3 times by Billy Mitchell and 3 times by Steve Wiebe). Again, Steve performed under the supervision of Twin Galaxies Founder Walter Day, who noted: "Possibly the biggest challenges Steve had to overcome were the loud nightclub music, the chaotic environment and the late hours." [9]

On July 17, 2008, Steve Wiebe made his third attempt to break the Donkey Kong high score at the Twiistup 4 event in Santa Monica, but was unsuccessful on two consecutive attempts, scoring 340,500 and 466,100 points.[10]

His last attempt to date was at the 2008 E for All Expo, where he scored 1,000,200 in front of a large crowd. This is only the second time a 1 Million point score has been achieved in public.
