My name is branded in videogame time forever!
« on: August 19, 2001, 05:03:14 PM »
...and I am laughing all the way to the bank.

My local arcade just had a massive videogame comp. sponsered and run by Twin Galaxies. There was a SF3:3, C vs. SNK, MvC2 fighting tourneys. High score tourneys (Arctic Thunder, Ms. Pacman, Air Trix, Police 911, and DDR USA), and a freestlye comp. (DDR 4th mix.)

Well, I showed up too late to join the SF3:3 tournye, which I wouldn\'t have won anyway, but I still entered the High score tourney. Well, it turns out that I have some great skills, enough for me to win the Arctic Thunder comp and the Air Trix comp.

for Arctic Thunder, it was who could finish the Swiss Alps stage the fastest. I had only played the game like twice before and I stepped up and got a 1:41.94, faster than anyone else that tried the whole day by 7 seconds!

For Air Trix, it was who could get the most coins on Stage B. Well, I got 450 coins my second try (I play ALOT) and the closest guy that came to me got 307!

I walked away with 100 bucks in cash (50 for each 1st place) 400 Tokens (200 for each 1st place), 2 Twin Galaxies comp. shirts (1 for each), and 2 of the Twin Galaxies Record books (1 for each 1st place). Also, since I won the comps, my name is going in their all-time record books and will be in their next book!

Plus, I will get my picture on Family Fun Center\'s website and Twin Galaxies website, when they upload them. So you goons can finally get a good look at my videogame lovin mugshot :)


yup, I rock!

EDIT - oh yeah, I got two certificates for my first place finishes! They are currently getting framed, if I ever get hold of a scaner, you guys will see them :)

there is no such thing as luck.

You know that, Sammie.

But you\'re too jealous to admit it ;)

Congrats Altered Beast!  I can\'t remember all the tournies I\'ve particpated in but I do remember the first won I\'ve won.  It feels REAL good, especially when you know there is skill in the other players.  Also let\'s you know that this talent you have isn\'t a total waste. :)  What do you plan to do with that $100?

Thanks everybody, I wonder if they got the shot up yet?

go to http://www.familyfuncenter.net and take a look this week if it is not up yet.

How did you get your name in a game though Kopking? That is really cool! All I get is my name in some record books :)

Perhaps they will make a game called Ericvision2k2!

So Eric, you are a classic coin-op game, a modern coin-op champion, and... don\'t forget the epic album by Matthew Sweet:
