History

The Beginning

Four Score and Seven Pongs Ago was created in 2011. It started with a tweet.

After that, Brian emailed Jared to see if he was serious and Jared created a Google Calendar event with the name Four Score and Seven Pongs Ago pulled out of a magical hat.

Brian set up a website and then from there it was on for real. You can’t back down from a website.

The goal was simple, finally put years of trash talk aside and prove who was worthy of the coveted Golden Joystick. In reality, it just brought people together for a day of gaming.

Brian finalized the deal by creating the coveted Golden Joystick.

A joystick handed down to gamers for generations.

We started Four Score & Seven Pongs Ago as a competition between two friends. Now it’s an umbrella for our love of friends, gaming, and charity.
