King of Kong

I went to King of Kong the other day. I liked this documentary. It was about these guys that play vintage arcade games on actual arcade machines like Donkey Kong, Gallaga, and a few other games that I never heard of or played. The crux of the documentary is high scores on these games and a group that validates these high scores. Some poor unemployed guy tries to break the Donkey Kong score and it seems the group that validates scores undermines his attempts. I enjoyed the movie. It reminded me of the documentary called American Movie.

I like this movie too. I created some fan art to document the battle between Billy and Steve at http://www.alexheaton.com/2007/09/king-of-kong-way-i-see-it.html. Check it out. - Alex
