It certainly helped Luigi. When I won that tournament back in 1989 I was only 7 years old. this was way before the internet and people were starting to forget about just how special my achievement was.
Luckily for me I joined EY.com which was a blessing because the exposure that my posts got at that that Top Alexa ranked website led to my "meteoric rise" you could say. Not only was I able to talk about Flying Saucers and Bigfoot but I was able to get rich and famous.
Yes the perks AND money of being the guy who won the "Video Armageddon" are good but sometimes I wish I could just leave my house and go unnoticed like Canuckster has all his life.
I haven't forgot where I came from and still relate to the Average Joe on the street who are beneath me both literally in a financial sense and figuratively.
