I love how it's "World Championship" with two Americans and a Canadian!

I remember watching this in 1983, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I never thought I would be see it again let alone on a PC.

This was a totally legit contest, very well-planned and conducted. Amazing. They really knew what they were doing even before eSports became a thing.

Sports Bar brought me here.

The earliest known video game competition took place on October 19, 1972, at Stanford University for the game Spacewar

No need to remind me of the good old days. I remember them quite often. I remember the Video Game kings of my neighborhood and drew a huge crowd right after school was over. Good ole 80's for me.

Wow, this video is beautiful. This was before my time, but I've loved games ever since I was a little kid. Seeing these passionate people do what I love, with an audience and an exciting competition just warms my heart. Gaming will always be special.
