"High Score" Is The Reality Show for Classic Arcade Games
dextercf:
Also, my earlier post was not correct. I have seen the clips of the cabinets been dumped off the roof, but not this series they're doing.
I'd like to add that my tiny experience I have had with TNT, and Todd Tuckey, is that these guys are offering great customer service.
I sent a email regarding an ebay auction they had on a Toki cocktail cab, fully working, asking if they would sell me the PCB alone. Yeah, they would.
When I got the parcel, it was the wrong game. Turned out it was Space Invaders PT2, which was by a mistake removed from a cab sitting next to the Toki cab.
Anynway, I got to keep the SI board and he shipped me the Toki board free of charge. All the way to Norway (the country in Europe, shipping alone was $36).
I'm looking forward to this series, hope it catches a hook and flies with a network.
Feeling pretty alone up here, with my newfound hobby of restoration and old arcade games. Could need a boost!

People used to trash cabs back in the '80s, but it wasn't as taboo because the machines weren't viewed as sacred relics like they are today.
In the second installment of "High Score," it looks like Todd has moved from destroying cabinets to destroying vintage vinyl records. Way to go.

I thought you were talking about High Score the documentary of Bill Carlton trying to get the world record score for Missile Command.
You wanna see more of a reality arcade show? Check out Chasing Ghosts. What a harsh slap of reality right there...

Now I totally want to see this documentary! I loved "King of Kong," so I'm sure I'd love "High Score" as well. Is it out on DVD yet, do you know?
Ironically, I just finished reading Tony Temple's old blog posts about his attempts to break the Missile Command record in both tournament and marathon modes here:

I love "Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade" as well. Before watching it, I knew nothing of Ben Gold, The "That's Incredible" Video Game Tournament, or the Electronic Circus. How amazing those days were.

Todd's a good guy and does care alot about arcade games. Yes, he does run a business, and he did smash some games, most of us have trashed at least one cab, but that video is really old and it still has people talking about him and his business. He gives stuff away all the time but lots of times no one comes to get them.
I do like his new show though...
