Saturday, December 3 - New High Scores!! Christmas Parade!

If you're the type to step into the world of whimsy and make believe that video games offer, than you must still believe in Santa, right?

Well if you do, today is Burlington City's Annual Christmas Parade, and it goes right down High Street in front of High Scores! The parade begins at 5 pm, come on out and get your gaming (and hot cocoa, and tree lighting) on! Just remember, no parking on High Street during that time!

Also, we've added some new High Scores to the Pro Board, courtesy of Sam Miller (ZAZ). Check them out! There are also new scores for Tetris, scored by Chris Bucca on his birthday, and Gyruss, by Russ who continues to be his own best competition.

Have you been to visit lately? If not, you should! We've got some new games including Aerosmith's Revolution X, Smash and Drive, and Sega Turbo Outrun cockpit. Hope to see you soon!

Stupid Hurricane...

Thanks to everyone that came out last night, Friday, before the storm came about! Today we decided to close because there was no one anywhere around Burlington! I guess the proximity to the Delaware isn't a charm this weekend. We hope to see everyone next week for an epic weekend of gaming!

High Scores Welcomes Lonnie McDonald

We were lucky enough last week to get a visit from Lonnie McDonald of Kansas City. Lonnie found himself with some business to do on the east coast, so he mapped out some key locations along the way that had dedicated Joust machines. He at one point had been declared a Joust pro by the Williams Company, and is determined to put scores up on that level again. Armed with a big box of diverse candy selections, he came to High Scores first on Wednesday with the intention of rolling over the machine at 10,000,000. Unfortunately, he hadn't been counting his men during the course of the game, and he died a little over 9.3 million.

So he returned on Thursday night, and after about six and a half hours, rolled the score over so that his score on the machine remains as 9,999,999. Check out the video here - we wish Lonnie well on his road to greatness!
