Probably as Entertaining to Watch as the Next Movie
25 year old Brandon Erickson of Portland, Oregon will attempt what few have achieved - a non-stop marathon play of the original Star Wars Arcade video game. From noon May 16th to the midnight screening of Episode III on May 18th, he hopes to break a 22 year old record standing since Return of the Jedi in 1983.
I was top-dog on this game back in high school (it was a small town after all), but I honestly can't remember what my highest-of-high scores was. I guess it's time to hang up the ol' nerd badge after all.
Okay - I remember playing it and doing fairly well in my small town - however, nowhere near this 300 million points level. Seriously. I may have cracked 1 MM (hard level, made it through a few Death Stars, had serious trouble when the shields started to split side to side instead of up and down).
Of course, I would certainly buy a sit down Star Wars console game like that. Halothon my ass, I've got STAR WARS!!!!
