Rich Ambler was the runner up in the 12-17 division of the 1990 Nintendo World Championships, finishing just behind the champion Thor Aackerlund. His path to Hollywood took him through seven of the thirty stops of the 1990 Powerfest tour, from the second stop in Cleveland, Ohio where the top scores failed to crack one million points, to the final stop in Ft. Lauderdale where many of the top players gathered to put in their last official practice before the upcoming finals in California. Rich witnessed the evolution of the strategy of the NWC cartridge first hand and came within 100,000 points of taking the title.
