PLAY Blackpool – May 2015

The first heat of the 2015 Classic Gaming Championships took us to Blackpool on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend. 109 people signed up, with 94 of them completing all the games. Some amazing gamers came out to PLAY and 43 managed to high score their way onto the overall leaderboard.

The games played in Blackpool were Circus Atari (Atari 2600 VCS), Flicky (Sega Megadrive) and Wave Race 64 (Nintendo 64).

The big story of the heat came on the very first day when Gavin Ward (2014 CGC Champion) and Ian Wall (2014 Runner-up and 2014 Blackpool heat winner) both showed just how good they are with monumental scores and closed the day in 1st and second places respectively.

However, as neither Gavin or Ian were able to return on Sunday or Monday, Spencer Guest (3 times runner up in 2014 heats) managed to surpass them both and claim the very first spot in the 2015 Grand Final.

Overall rankings and scores for the individual games are below.
