PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 04, 2010 – Walter Day, the man who founded scorekeeping organization Twin Galaxies in 1981, has announced in a new video interview on the Twin Galaxies website that he has retired to work on a music career.

Twin Galaxies began as a video arcade in the small town of Ottumwa, IA during the original video game boom.  Upon checking with a game company about a high score he had witnessed, Day discovered that nobody was keeping track of the record scores in the world of video gaming, so he did so himself.  Soon thereafter, the game makers of the day backed Day and Twin Galaxies as the official organization.

In 2010, Twin Galaxies is still recognized as the leader in video game records, not only on the old classic which it began with, but also on new games for the XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation 3.  Recognized by Guinness World Records, CNN, MTV, Wired Magazine, and others, Twin Galaxies references have appeared in numerous movies and popular television shows over the past year.  Last June, G4tv aired an official Twin Galaxies World Record attempt on live television as part of their E3 Expo coverage.

Day has been slowly removing himself from day-to-day duties at Twin Galaxies over the past few years, turning over many of his former duties to a new generation of staff members including David Nelson, Rich Booth, Todd Rogers, Patrick Scott Patterson, and Nik Meeks.  

Walter Day now plans to pursue his lifelong dream of a music career, as seen in several documentary films.  He states in the video interview that he finally feels that Twin Galaxies is in the right people's hands to move into the future.
