This is TH-cam gold. Thanks so much for uploading this piece of history. It brings back many memories from the Norfolk,VA event that I attended in my youth.
I was at this event. I remember feeling so bad for the little kids playing for fun and thinking they were doing good. There would be one minute left to go and you'd see a little kid next to you still on Super Mario Bros fighting the first Bowser in 1-4. At the time I thought my 220k score was impressive :(
My gosh, why do I shout "Boom, tetris for somebody!" out loud whenever someone in the NWC 1990 makes every tetris? Maybe because CTWC was inspired by NWC 1990...?
I'm interested in NWC 2015... very surprised we don't know what games we'll be playing or any other information when the event is supposedly only a little more than a week away. Feels very rushed in terms of planning.. not sure if it's by design that we won't have any time to practice and prepare, but i'm hoping that's intended rather than that they simply didn't plan it well. Half of me is still thinking the 2015 NWC is a belated April fools.
Yes, I only owned Tetris on game boy though and I had to trade with someone to get my hands on rad racer.. still there were significant differences between the tourney cart and the games themselves, so the best way to practice was to go to the tournament itself.. Then practice as there as much as you could.
@@Xaanix73 Wow just saw this. Thanks for posting. I'm the kid int he blue and white stripes around position 12:00. When I made it to the final round of Tetris, I almost got a tetris to solidify the lead right when the buzzer went off. I still can't forget it...

So awesome to see. If anyone has the Detroit footage please let me know. I was in the kings chair in my age bracket in the finals, and choked. SMH.
