  • Ep 139: Living the 1990 Nintendo World Championship Dream w/ Danny Pittaway
    Sep 28 2026

    Just saying the words "1990 Nintendo World Championship" conjures images of kids and adults alike doing videogame battle to an adoring crowd. Every kid who cracked open a Nintendo Power or watched "The Wizard" dreamed of one day participating in such an epic endeavor. Enter the subject of this week's episode, Danny Pittaway, who back in 1990, made it to the regional semi-finals of NWC 1990. Now, over 30 years later, he's poised to battle again in the world of competitive retro gaming, chasing the dream started on that stage so many years ago.
