movie to watch The King of Kong A [Censored] Of Quarters on dvd Jan 29

I searched the forums during my latest suspension for this title and came up empty, although I know GameSpot and certain posters have seen it because of certain references I've seen. :evil:For those who haven't been able to see it, it's for:1. Miyamoto fans: the movie is about retro gamers who worship Miyamoto's first game, Donkey Kong, and about their showdown at the huge arcade FunSpot in New Hampshire.2. Human endurance fans: Before becoming obsessed with Donkey Kong, Billy Mitchell was obsessed with Pac-Man and getting through the 256th screen half of which is completely covered by programming code; he had to figure out where to move Pac-Man blindly beneath the code while being chased by the ghosts at the highest difficulty; he had to get through all 255 screens to get back to this screen when he died. He did this about 200-300 times.3. George Lucas fans: because of the Return of the Jedi references that fly during fights.4. Killscreen fans!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMJZ-_bJKdIThe real-life gamers:Steve WiebeCinderella Story. Outta nowhere. Had the record in his grasp but his son (seen below) had a toilet trainingincident and wouldn't stop yelling, ''Daddy, [censored]''; former greenskeeper about to become Masters champion.Billy Mitch-Mullet and Walter DayThe Guinness Book of World Records keeps video game records from Twin Galaxies' website, which is run by the homeless man in the referee shirt below, Walter Day, who I consider a genius. Next to him is Billy. One of the jokes of the film is that Billy's mullet, clothing, vocabulary, and posse, haven't left the 1980's. (He runs a restaurant in Florida, Rickey's, which is where he had access to arcade games from an early age.)A positive movie for gamers.Who else has seen it?movie to watch The King of Kong A [Censored] Of Quarters on dvd Jan 29
I haven't seen it, but I've heard good things about it. I'll probably check it out on DVD.movie to watch The King of Kong A [Censored] Of Quarters on dvd Jan 29
It is currently being remade with Hollywood actors even though it just came out, and it didn't open in a lot of areas. I don't know which actors wanted it, although I read Ben Stiller as Billy Mitchell.
that movie is MADE of awesome. seriously rare thing to see, such a great film
ive never even heard of it, but i am definitely interested now. thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the kind words.The thought might come up why hasn't Xbox Live Arcade and the Virtual Console killed this activity.They're real people, and they post at the Twin Galaxies forums. I actually learned a lot about our hobby from them, but you have to be careful because they take it too far. If it wasn't in your theaters, Hollywood bought the story and actors are remaking it. :)
