WB-I didn't mean to suggest that they would stop allowing people to do scores at home and send in video for WR's. What I predict is that they will open at least one (probably the 1 up in Denver) and maybe many more arcades under the name of Twin Galaxies where they will have electronic scoreboards that are linked (similar to what Aurcade is doing). They will have official refs at all of these locations and they will allow a person to set a score on location under view of the ref and no video will be required. I also think they will hold tournaments that will encourage people to travel to their Arcades.

Only time will tell. I think there are a ton of alternatives for people who want to compete on console games but there is only one place that tracks Arcade records. I really think if TG wants to survive, they need to stick with what they started and concentrate on Arcade records because most of todays gamers have no interest in going through all the hassle that TG requires to get a score posted on a console game.

Bummer to hear about the lack of arcades in your area. I thought Florida had a ton. I'm lucky. I live in Salem Oregon and there are two arcades in Portland that are less than an hour's drive, Ground Kontrol and Strykers Arcade, and one that just shut down but still opens on occasion, Envisions Arcade. Then there is Level Up Arcade south of me in Eugene about an hour away and the icing on the cake. The guy I purchased my Asteroids and Omega Race from is opening an Arcade right here in Salem that will be within walking distance of my work, The Coin Jam.
