Has anybody seen this documentary about the world's record score in Donkey Kong. Great stuff. Story of some prick who held the record since 1982 and
another guy determined to set the record. Those 'classic' video games really took me back ( I specialized in Asteroids and Missile Command ) , but when
I find one in an arcade it is always a disappointment since they are always broken and never maintained. The Donkey Kong showdown took place at a place called
Fun Stop. I have already planned our next family vacation around this location!

"Family vacation", heh.
Reminds me of the 'family car' Mr. Sluggy drove up in when I was pregnant with the first slug child. It was a super fast sports car that could barely fit a baby seat in the back. He got a way with it, what can I say. |

I saw that effer. Have you checked out the website that maintains the world records, Twin Galaxies ?
The original record holder is a real knob. My best arcade games were the Star Wars ray traced graphics game that you sat in ( very cool ) and Crazy Climber. NULLUS ANXIETAS |

I like FunSpot's 'museum' too. They even have PDFs of the arcade game manuals!
I see the Missle Command record has stood since '82, but the tournement high score is less than a month old! |
