… then this bit of news might be interesting to you: On April 24, Steve Wiebe, the hero of that movie, has set a new record on Donkey Kong Jr. From the official Twin Galaxies Web site:
The new World Record mark was accomplished on March 14 and verified by Twin Galaxies Chief Referee David Nelson. Steve’s new World Record mark of 1,139,800 points takes the Donkey Kong Junior crown from fellow Washington state native Ike Hall, who was crowned the DKJ World Champ in August 2008 with a score of 1,033,000, taking the crown that Billy Mitchell had held on the game since 1985.
Way to go, Steve!
And if you haven’t seen KING OF KONG, you really should. Here’s the trailer:
