Top Asteroids Scorer Gets Posthumous Award
JayBonci writes "Twin Galaxies is running a story on how after fifteen years, the search for the reigning Asteroids high score champion has ended. The late Scott Safran's family was presented with the award (he died several years ago from a falling injury). It's a pretty interesting article on how Scott's family never knew of his achievement until they were contacted. As it turns out, Twin Galaxies is compiling a book of high score champions of major and classic video games over the years."

All I could think of is George doing his best frogger impression trying to save his high score. That was classic.
I really hate Dan Patrick.
Imagine this:

Scott walks up to a babe in a bar.
Scott: "Hey how you doin?"
Babe: "I'm great thanks."
Scott: "Did I mention that I'm the current reining champion for playing Asteroids?"
Babe: "Oooooooo!"
Scott and babe head back to Scott's place and the rest is history
Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?
just curious...that guy "AAA" was the king of my local pizza joint.
