Oh man, thank you for creating a page about the Nintendo Championships, if only because now I have a place to whine about this:
I was in that competition. I made the Chicago semifinals. I even had the highest score going into my bracket, which meant I got to sit in the giant electronic throne and have my game projected on the giant screen like in The Wizard. And I totally choked. If I'd known those damn cartridges would be worth $20,000, I probably would have tried harder.
I also got a cheap baseball cap that feels like it's made of paper. It's sitting less than ten feet away from me, even after all this time.
Still, even though I missed out a cartridge that theoretically could be worth up to $20 grand, I still have fond memories of totally choking in front of hundreds of people, on a giant television screen that was larger than my house. Good times.
