Twin Galaxies and Rickys World Famous Hot Sauce (Billy Mitchells company) will honor $1000 to who ever can beat my 15,999,990 on Galaga at the Funspot tournament?! Including myself!!! This now changes my whole schedule of what I had planned to do over the 4 days I'll be there. I'll post back here once I return. Too bad no ones attending this event from marp, it would be nice to see some of the players here in action at a live event like the one going to take place in less then 2 weeks at Funspot.

Regards, Steve Krogman

Well, if I were going to be there I might seriously consider trying to improve that last little bit required to go for this sort of score.

Is that only on the slow-fire version?

Hey Steve, I'm attending.

Has Billy promised anything for breaking Hypersports record...

BeeJay,

It looks like the ver will be the original fire one. When I set my record back in 89'- 90' the turbo chip wasn't available untill around 94' Since then, I've been use to playing on the turbo ver cause every arcade has already upgraded to this ver and capitalized on better profits. If this ver was considered during the event, I would try and put up a 25M ~ 30M pt score which is definitely possible seeing I managed 20.5M on MAME and had a really bad average as far as points per man throughout my game excluding my hugh spread between 10m and 17m which I did on 1 man.

Regards, Steve Krogman

Ps Last year at the tournament, I did almost 8M and the only reason I wasn't up to par for a record was because I came down with a very bad chest cold while I was there and felt miserable. This year, no excuses (I hope..)

Tommi,

I will disscuss this with Billy tomorrow when I speak to him. It's possible it may be on the next flyer both Billy and Walter are putting together.

PS Tommi, when are you arriving at Funspot? Chris Ayra and myself wil be flying in at 11am on Thursday and should arrive at Funspot by 12 noon.

Stephen, It would be great to break TG-record, and to get that 1000$, hehheh.

I'm arriving to Boston with a friend at about 13.00 Wednesday afternoon. So in the evening/night should there. We're staying at Sunvalley cottage nearby for the whole f*****' four days!

See ya there
