Our good friend, Trickman Terry, has an awesome audio interview with Nibbler World Champion Mr. Tim McVey and Twin Galaxies legend, Walter Day. For those not in the know on the significance of this man and his high score, here’s the story direct from the Wiki:

“Nibbler was the first video game that allowed the player to score a ten-digit score—one billion points. This threshold was reached by Tim McVey at the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard in Ottumwa, Iowa, (The Video Game Capital of the World) on January 17, 1984, scoring 1,000,042,270 points. News of his accomplishment was carried by the wire services and a feature story on his feat was published in the July, 1984 issue of Computer Games Magazine. McVey became the first video game player in gaming history to have a civic day set aside in his honor: “Tim McVey Day,” January 28, 1984. Officials from Rock-Ola, the game’s manufacturer, were in attendance to award McVey a free “Nibbler” arcade machine of his own, for his accomplishment”

Terry, Tim and Walter discuss this awesome videogame event and just why Ottumwa, Iowa is the Video Game Capital of the World!
