I’m going to post my yearly recap/thoughts a little bit later, but honestly, my favorite part of the whole week and was watching Laythe absolutely ---smurfing--- destroy Hard Drivin’. In my heart of hearts, I truly wished Steve could have been there so he could have enjoyed the fun. It blew me away. I’ve play that game since I was a kid, and I’ve always had a soft spot for it, but I’ve never seen anybody just absolutely shred the driving track perfectly the way he did. At one point, he had all top 10 high scores on the game. And the game won fan favorite at the show, so you know he wasn’t the only one playing it. |

What a great weekend. I spent all Saturday at the event, playing games for almost 12 hours! Got to play a bunch of cabinets I’ve always wanted to try on original hardware, and a ton of pins as well. I spent a lot of time participating in the various tourney’s that were on: Cyberball, Random Fighters, Killer Queen, and Street Fighter 3rd Strike. But I did finally manage to put a million on Robotron, but that was after ArcadeFixer threw a 998,999,000 score on it. :-\ So I managed to throw high scores on all the gyruss cabs, including the cocktail, as well as a few other games. Yots said he kept seeing my initials in the high score lists all over Zapcon. That was my primary goal tbh. :D Would have liked to try out the Hard Driving, but every time I came back to the cab Lathe was on it having another great run, so I left that one alone. Meeting the byoac guys was delightful! All you guys are awesome, and there were times our discussions felt like a byoac thread post. Jokes and ribbings and talking about games, it was like our online personas carried through to in-person. It was very comfortable. I’m really looking forward to next year, I’m going to try to go again for sure! It was an incredible time, and I was really impressed with how big arcades are in AZ. Seems like the best place to be to be into this hobby. Thanks goes out to yots for being the host with the most, and organizing the get togethers. I had such an amazing time! |
