EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The High Score Saloon on Main Street has, since its opening two years ago, striven to parlay people’s fondness for vintage video games, beer and snacks into a way to raise money for good causes around Evansville.
The business has raised over $30,000 through monthly give back nights and was a large part of the $35,000 student lunch debt payoff made to the Evansville Vanderburgh County School System last year.
Now the employees of High Score need your help.
“We have been paying our employees through this shutdown, but we don’t know how long it’s going to last, and we need to be realistic,” said Clint Hoskins, who owns the bar arcade with friend Jared Neible.
“We’re trying to raise money for them," he said.
A T-shirt sale has already raised some cash, but now Hoskins, Neible and the employees are providing entertainment by hosting a 24-hour video game marathon from 6 a.m. Wednesday morning March 25 to 6 a.m. Thursday morning Mar. 26 on Twitch, a platform where the public can log in, watch gamers playing online, comment, converse, and donate tips.
“Twitch has become a mainstay in the gaming community,” Hoskins said. “It’s a streaming service like YouTube but live so you can watch people play in realtime. It has a chat window up so the players can talk with viewers.”
The High Score employees guarantee plenty of excitement for watchers. Laura Neville, for example, has become so good at Donkey Kong that she achieved a “kill screen" what happens when you beat so many levels of the game that it shuts down.
Neible has won Duck Hunt world championships, and Colton Blanchard is among the top 10 players Galaga players the world.
