Yours truly (Mark Alpiger) recorded this segment from my world record game of The Glob while wrapping up a trip to Challenge Arcade.  I was there to run my inaugural gaming event, the 2006 Classic Arcade Gaming (dot com) Tournament.  The day after it ended, and before I left to head back home, I stopped by the arcade, and tried out a few games of 'Glob', just to see if I could make a decent score.  Well, a world record is usually always decent, and this is no exception, tho I was shooting for a bit higher, as you'll hear on the tape.  You'll also hear arcade owner Joe LeVan noting some accomplishments to me about a game of Pole Position II that he was playing nearby.

Note the incredible speed of the enemies on the two levels I play (10 and 11); remarkably, they even get noticeably faster a few levels higher !  Well, a final interesting note - there's a timer bar at the bottom of the screen, and when it reaches the end, you lose a man.  That almost happened on the screen the vid starts out showing, and explains my exasperation at the end of this level, since I had to push my way onto the final elevator, and still barely finished in time.
