Here is some footage of the 1990 WPC held at the Valley Forge Convention Center outside of Philadelphia PA. I got about 610,000 points in the Semi Finals which is a decent score, and ended up with what looks like 352,000 points in the finals. Thanks for the straight pieces Tetris, I appreciate it! I was really nervous and probably could have used some Ritalin too. RIP Gunpei Yokoi.
After it was over we were led offstage where we were brutally beaten and ridiculed. Then they gave us some fruit snacks, stickers, a random black label Nintendo game (I got Rad Racer) and a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. When I saw that sweet yellow box, all shame of my defeat dissipated as well as my desire to commit seppuku.
That promo in the beginning haha! THIRTY DOLLARS A POP, WOAHHHHHHHH
This video was edited in the early 90's and I had to edit out some tracking issues myself.
