Here's a special treat - the only existing 900K+ game on tape, played by Frank Seay.  But... there's one caveat - the tape ran out in the middle of the game, so, being in charge of the video camera, I had to rewind the tape a bit, and overtape part of the game, in order to show the ending.  Still, it's quite interesting to see what is there, including all of 9/4 on.  The touches of humor are great, too, including: an inside joke at the beginning (Frank takes off his 'Rolex' watch, which was in reality just a good fake, which I point out; still, it's kind of an eerie thing that he felt that this game was going to be special, and he turned out to be exactly right); the R-rated profanity during 9/4 (I find it hilarious, in retrospect); and finally, my 'salute' at the end was an inspiration, and summed up my frustration with his higher skill level at the game (tho it was all in good fun - honest !!).

    This game was played somewhere around the early Fall of 1987, during a taping that Frank wanted to do for himself, and he especially wanted a 900K minimum score on tape, but he sure cut it as close as you could !  I'm really glad that it was done, just for people to be able to see his skill level.  But, even this game would pale in comparison to his ultimate world record score, set about five months later.  That one wasn't taped, but, the high score table gives proof enough.
