The party will be held at Cloudscout’s place as it has been for all versions of the Fall retro gaming party. Look for more details here and on Facebook as they become available.

New record for Asteroids was just set minutes ago. All 60 hours of the tape needs to be verified and John McAllister needs to receive a drug test – but another of the elite classic arcade records has been surpassed. This particular record was 28 years old, 41,336,440 – formerly held by Scott Safran. John passed this score by only a few thousand.
He tried to his best to choke it away. With 300,000 left to go, he took a bathroom break. When he came back, he was out of rhythm, resulting in his lives dwindling down to just two. He found a last minute groove, and got the reserve back up to 10. The last 100,000 points was a fun ceremonial walk.
Congrats John! Nice to see these classics get tested.

I thought we could start a post about what each of us will volunteer to bring to the 6th retro video-gaming party so we can minimize on dupe machines, consoles, games and whatnot.
I’m bringing:
- 4 – 13″ Color TVs
- 1 Black and White TV
- Super Pong IV
- Odyssey 4000 (Could use a color dial TV for this bad boy if anyone wants to bring one.)
- Odyssey2 with ‘The Voice’. Games: Smithereens (the best of the voice games), U.F.O. and Sub Chase for sure.
- Sega Genesis with 32X, Flight Stick with Afterburner and Probably SW: Arcade.
- NES with some Rip Off Chinese games, some famicom classics and a few favorites. (Contra? Tecmo Super Bowl?)
- Vectrex
- Arcade: Ms. Pac-Man or Tron. Probably not both.
- I may bring my Game Console stand too…
- I’m going to bring a GBA SP and some controllers so we can play Pac-Man Vs. (either on my Game Cube or Matt’s)
I think I’ll also do a podcast of the event.

Looks like I am missing the 2009 Portland Retro Gaming Expo next Sunday. Anyone feeling spontaneous and catching this? The post expo party will be at the Ground Kontrol Classic arcade. I now want to move to Portland.
