Dwayne Richard is from Alberta, Canada. Dwayne sells video games and T-shirts. He loves coffee but doesn't believe in de-caf. He's a student of Theology. And a lover of games.

We interviewed Duane at the Twin Galaxies-Funspot Classics Video Game and Pinball Tournament, June 1-4, 2000.
Twin Galaxies: Dwayne, it's great to see you here.
Dwayne Richard: I love coming to competitions.
TG:What games are you playing this weekend?
DR: Robotron, for one. The score in the book is illegitimate. The person who submitted the score has submitted other bogus scores that are equally impossible. You can tell by the math, the score is bogus. It would take you a whole week to reach five hundred million.
TG: Does that mean there's really no record?
DR: Probably. There's a little housecleaning that needs to be done. We're measuring this game from the beginning, from zero.
TG: Who claimed the 500,000,000 score? Is he here?
DR: No, he isn't here. There'd be no point in his coming, he couldn't possibly beat the score. It's gonna take me from 10-15 hours to break the score. Hopefully I can play through and get a million on this. I used to have one of these games at home but I sold it.

TG: Do you wish you'd kept it?
DR: I ran out of space. There's only so much room in my basement. I resell games after I finish playing them. It was easy to sell, so many people want it. The cheapest they go for is $800. I said I'd buy it back if they wanted to sell it.
TG: What else are you playing this weekend?
DR: I'm hoping to learn to play 10-15 more games after this tournament. I'm watching the others play and I keep learning: Hypersports, Robotron, Galaga. I want to learn their skills. Once I watch the others play I can model after them.
TG: There are a few Canadians here?
DR: Yeah, Rick (Fothergill), Neil (Chapman), Mark (Longridge)--all from Ontario. Rick is Captain Canada, the anti-Bill Mitchell. He's got a perfect score on Pac-Man, the world record on Super Pac-Man, Jr. PacMan and 2nd place on Ms. PacMan. He's the PacMeister.
TG: Chris Ayra also has a perfect Pac-Man?
DR: Chris has played the fastest yet. Bill would have a hard time breaking his time.
TG: Good luck to you, Dwayne. Have fun watching the games and get yourself some good scores. We're rooting for you.
