Photos and video from Richie Knucklez's tournament!
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.
