An 85 year old man from Onalaska, Wisconsin has found himself in the Guinness World Record’s book after scoring numerous perfect games of bowling on Wii Sports.
John Bates who is 85 recorded 2,850 perfect games of bowling on Wii Sports through the month of April 2009 all the way through to October 2010 using both his left and his right hand.

I wanna be like that man when I’m that age! :D
GOOD GRIEF! I’m still trying to get a perfect game myself, never mind 2850 off them! My Dad has got one perfect game so far!
*Puts Wii Sports into Wii* :-)
Darned octogenarian HAXX!
Oh my goodness! That is *a lot* of perfect games! :O
Amazing! And I though I was doing well with a younger Wii fit age than my daughter.
that’s damn impressive I wasn’t expecting such a high record to be set…
That’s so cool!
lol damn thats a lot! i never even got one perfect game on wii bowling.
Finally! A videogame record that doesnt belong to a “hardcore gamer”.
Viva la wii, it has expanded games for everyone
DUDE.
^This, in all respect.
Great performance…well done.
This is more interesting than some no-life hardcore gamer scoring this.
I congratulate that man, proving that ANYONE can do it.

How does someone who has over 2,500 perfect games not constitute a hardcore gamer. I thought the tendency to play a lot was the definition of hardcore. If I have the biggest Farmville, I’m not the MOST CASUAL PLAYER.
That said, he doesn’t fit into the usual demographics, and I don’t intend to lessen the impressiveness of his feat, however, I’m going to guess he doesn’t work and he doesn’t just play in his off hours. That sounds like a hardcore gamer to me.
i got one perfect game… but 2850 of them, i tip my hat to you
that guy looks good for his age
Hey check it out! It’s Nintendo’s last gasping breath of relevance! Don’t you all wanna play Mario? :D
