Official Funspot 13th Annual Classic Video Game Tournament thread

OK, I haven't seen a thread about the big tournament next week (Thursday June 2nd through Sunday June 5th), so I'm starting one. :)

Info here: http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/tournament.htm

I don't have time to compete (last time I competed was back in 1999), but I like to go and hang out. I'll probably be there on Saturday, with the wife and kid.

So who else is going? Maybe you can post a pic of your ugly mug here so I know who to say hello to (or avoid :D ).
 
I've been up to the speedway in Louden a few times, but I have yet to get to FunSpot. I have to check it out some time.
 
I shall be there competing and getting my face whipped, hell its something to do. If anyone wants to grab a beer or ten while I'm around hit me up...

I'll be there, at least Fri-Sun and probably a couple days after, since I'm on vacation that whole week. I gotta get Steve a Cubs hat though...that Cardinals hat is killing me :D
 
I'll be there. I'll be the guy turning 50 on Wednesday. :D

Hope you have lots of presents and cake on your birthday. What a birthday gift you will be having. Would love to go. But need to save some money up to go there! Have fun there!
 
i was there today. waited to talk to gary, as there was someone talking to him for like an hour by the mini golf course, and i didn't want to be rude and left, and he left right after but before i could talk to him. arrgghhh.

guess there's always another shot at meeting him next year...

oh, if anyone sees high scores with 'jim' as the initials that was me. - zookeeper, super pac, marble madness, and robotron.

oh, and computer space is working and i played it. the proof pic will be posted once i get home.

Anytime you see me, please come over and say hi. I cannot believe this is the second time we have missed talking!

I was talking with one of the tournament attendees who arrived early to see the sights.

The debut of the new digital Wall of Fame! The old Wall of Fame has been replaced by this new 42" touch screen which updates itself via the Aurcade score board. Scores from the tournament will update the wall in real time and players can search games, scores, players and more!

playing computer space.

computer space is hard to play, so the timer makes it somewhat enjoyable, cause the way it is programmed it is kind of hard to control the ship and aim in a direction to hit the enemy ship. but it was cool to see, and i'm glad i finally got to play one!
