There's a very cool story up on DallasNews.com right now about Richardson resident Ben Gold, one of the first gamers to break through as a (mini) national celebrity for his gaming prowess.

The interactive story from reporter April Kinser not only tells Ben's tale, but highlights some of the seminal moments in the early history of gaming. There's also an archive of all-time high scores in several classic games, and a quiz to test your gaming knowledge. Well worth a visit.
