World Fame Comes To Ottumwa

Ottumwa, Iowa has a new honor. Last week it was named the Video Game Capital of the World by the Amusement Game Manufacturer's Association and Atari Inc. Official honors were bestowed on the city by Governor Terry Branstad at the Twin Galaxies Arcade, home of the International Video Scoreboard.

Why Ottumwa? The International Video Scoreboard has gained notoriety as being the one place in the country where video game champions can call to check the latest high scores on their favorite games. During competitions the computerized scoreboard electronically displays the high scores on monitors covering one wall of the arcade.
