Cool, never seen that before. Needless to say, I'd have been on the receiving end of that combo... right off the bat lol.

This video is awesome. A real eye opener for me. I never knew that games like this would ever draw crowds of spectators. Boy was I wrong.

I remember being down the boardwalk at the beach years ago (1997), and playing through House of the Dead. I racked up about twenty people watching me because I was able to reload (aim away and shoot) in about a tenth of a second and got through most of the game on one credit. Once I became aware of the many people commenting on how fast I was shooting, I choked on the last boss and only had three quarters for the four-quarter credit. Some random guy actually offered me change to keep going.

Way back in the day, when the greatest thing at the Arcade was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, I used to frequent the back of an old Ice Cream shop, usually a dozen kids and teenagers beating the crap out of the dastardly Foot Clan would be packed in this ten-by-ten foot stock room. I was always Raphael, or Leonardo when somebody else had Raph.

Capcom Versus SNK 2 at a local Gameworks was always the huge attraction, a cluster of asians and indians cycling around and playing the damn thing (I never once was able to play in my many visits). The lot of them talked friendly about moves and the like for the game. On the good hand, though, I had unobstructive access to Silent Scope and Time Crisis 3.

For whatever reason, people <i>really</i> like to watch somebody who kicks ass at a game. Even when a game is multiplayer pick-up-play, and I could use the help, crowds just form to watch. I must have played through StarFox64 two hundred times while my cousins watched instead of us doing multiplayer and me owning them. Hell, My dad sat through me playing Resident Evil 4, he probably enjoyed it more than me because unlike his usual yelling at the television, something might actually happen when he yells at it.

Where were you in 1990, other-worlder? It was all about TMNT2.
Street Fighter II wasn't out until mid '91. Nothing else ever brought in the kids like the Turtles after school.
