Thanks to everyone who participated, watched and supported the UK Kong Off. I think it went amazingly well and will live long in the memory of everyone involved. Congratulations to the winners and those who set new PBs also. What a day it was. I hope we see a few more videos shared of the event on YouTube in the days to come. All the best guys, Oli
Just for the record:

Oli is now known as

Just going through a few old photos from around 1983/4 taken in our previous home when our oldest daughter then aged 3 was practicing for the Kong competition in 42 years time…… 😁😁😁😁😁
We converted our Alca Scramble cab to Kong with a pirate ROM kit as cabs were still expensive then… first scramble game we ever did then we did another to Turpin about a month later?

We home made our marquees back then kong just stencil & felt pen on card .. the Turpin a slice of misc screen Perspex bezel reverse painted by hand so translucent when lit.
I still have a Moon Cresta marquee we painted on a slice of Midway Space Invader screen .it’s little wonder many didn’t survive but at the time their value was under £50 and nobody wanted them (even if they still worked! )

Arcade games … better than any babysitter or plastic toys for keeping them quiet while we watched TV or ate our tea in peace!
