Last series of pictures. Yesterday in the late afternoon I visited Funspot for the last time. And there I met Hank Chien. Awesome nice guy. He was playing a game and I stopped and watched him playing for about an hour, until he died at the score of 640,000. It was great to see how he went through the levels, and believe me, it was sometimes amazing how he survived.
I introduced myself after the game and we had a nice chat. He told me that he will do a world record attempt this weekend, although he already has a taped game of breaking it just two weeks ago. But he likes to try it again during the tournament, also because he is on a role with the game lately. ;D
And of course the obligatory picture
And one of a few other awesome players who were hanging out there:
The Funspot hall of fame of Steve Wagner:
Here is Hank being interviewed by the same NYT reporter who interviewed me
I hope that I can get a copy of the Monday NY Times, I don´t know if it is available where I am that day (not near NYC). ???
By now I unfortunately had to leave, and on the way out I passed Donald Hayes who was showing another gamer some tricks on how to play Pac-Man. He made it look so easy.
So guys, if you still have doubts about visiting Funspot, I hope by now that you realize that Funspot NH is a must-visit place for the true arcade gamer!
Especially during a tournament. So if possible, visit Funspot. ;DSo long ......
En hier kun je nog twee andere reports lezen van arcade bezoeken tijdens mijn vakantie in The States.
