National Space Invaders Superbowl
Warner Building - New York, NY (1980)
This photo was taken at the New York regional competition for the Atari 2600 Space Invaders national championship tournament. It has been recognized as the first large scale video game competition. Frank Tetro won this regional match, but was defeated by Rebecca Heineman in the finals.
Burger Becky would go on to become a game developer with a very impressive resume that includes one of my favorite vintage game collections: Activision Anthology.
