This is fascinating through and through. I really like Rick’s personality and how committed he is to being factual. I like Dwayne too but have to admin that at times he does push his side a bit too much. Example of that would be how at the end he placed Bill Bastable as first (rightfully imo) but then went on to move Chis’s score to the Unofficial category, which doesnt make sense as Chris had more objective proof of his score then Bill B. did even tho his tape was not continuous. Im only mentioning this as constructive criticism because I think his story telling and exposition of facts was otherwise flawless but minor missteps like this can be used to throw the whole thing out by ill-minded people. Thanks for putting this up, would love to see more around the story of those and other games records and controversies from back then, as I’m sure the lies and manipulation dont end with Pac-Mac and Donky Kong
I noticed the sinistar machine you have. What is your opinion of the world record on that game? Somethin like 761K. In like 1984. I have a difficult time believing that.
