Photos and video from Richie Knucklez's tournament!

12.jpg


I just got back from Richie Knucklez's annual tournament that is organized by CAGDC. It was a total blast. Equally, if not more fun, than last year. Richie is such a great host and overall good guy. I really enjoy attending his events.

As usual, I came nowhere near placing in the tournament, but that's not why I go. It's just a great excuse to spend time with friends from the arcade world and play games non-stop for two days. Even though I collect games, I never get to play games like this. 12 hours straight of gaming really forces you to focus on a game and really try to get a high-score.

The tournament had its share of arcade gaming rockstars. Don Hayes, the new DK world record holder - Hank Chien, Twin Galaxies #1 guy - Dave Nelson, DK guru - Ben Falls, that guy from KoK that has the Mappy high score, Mark Apliger (the guy with the glove in KoK) and other notables were all there. I really had fun. Good times.

Big thanks to my pals that joined me down there, Matt, Brian, Scott, and Mark.

That looks like a REALLY COOL arcade there. Nothing like that in these parts, outside of my personal collection. I really miss the days of busy arcades full of classics...
 
Where is the Super Punch Out????

Was hoping to get a glimpse of it in the photos...

The 17yo kid in the white shirt playing the Crazy Kong pictured above
was able to kill screen it. Imagine that.

Wish I was able to make it, but I did get a call from a friend who was there as J.J. got the kill screen. I hope to get the kill screen on it myself someday, at least in MAME (I'm still working on having something playable on a real board). I've gotten as high as level 15 in MAME (kill screen is level 22, same as Donkey Kong)
 
I'm not sure, as it was happening when I left... I think Ben Falls got a killscreen too.
 
We had an awesome TIME!! thanks again Richie K
