Just for an update... Hank Chien now holds the world record on Donkey Kong (Arcade) with a score of 1,061,700. Dean Saglio holds the world record for Donkey Kong (M.A.M.E.) with a score of 1,136,400. Dean's whole game can be watched on his channel at justin.tv at justin.tv/up2ng/b/262483944. The last part of Hank's game can be watched right here on YouTube at /watch?v=kozGPHXfqvU.
@millsmoney - They are recognized, and should be. They should just be in their own category, which they are. Honestly, some of the MAME players actually have a lot more skill than the arcade players. Check the Twin Galaxies database to learn more, or Classic Arcade Gaming (dot) com.
When Billy got 1,050,200, he didn't even reach the kill screen. He simply stopped playing with two men left. The video is on Youtube called "Billy Mitchell - Donkey Kong". Stopping the moment you beat the record is both honorable and bad-ass!
when i got to this score, the level i was at is 17, i couldve even gone farther! i had another life left, but my mom said that it was time to go so i just killed my life
billy mitchell is the biggest joke i have ever seen....they make him look evil in the movie king of kong because he is. they never dubbed his voice...everything said came from the horses mouth. if i ever met billy in real life i would throttle that piece of garbage....
Roy Shildt was connected to Steve Weibe, and surely this colored the behaviors seen in the film. Shildt's influence and history should have been included in the film instead of making a story about a record rivalry that didn't exist. I'm just terribly let down now that I know the scores were an anachronistic device for the plot. I loved it at the end, but real life is not that clean, black and white.
It took me multiple viewings to get what you mean about scores being anachronistic. Basically, (from the dvd-extras) the movie makers just filmed everything and at some point in that process finally decided to hang the story on a dubbed hero and invented villain. It's pretty artificial. But I'm still glad they made it so I could find out about the people still playing these games.
You'll get an even more complete version of the story if you read Walter Day's comments on the movie on the Twin Galaxies site.I believe there are also some comments floating around from Robert Mruczek that explain why Steve was so adamant to be "recognized" even though his score was on the site for years.
I would love to kick Billy Mitchell's ASS. Everyone who likes him is a total nerd who has never gotten laid! Next time I'm in Florida I'm going to shove a bottle of his hot sauce UP HIS ASS!
2 points: In the extras on the DVD Steve Sanders claims that Billy regrets submitting his videotaped score for 1,047,200.
either way, Billy does now own the worlds record in Donkey Kong with a live, refereed game. any bickering about taped scores at this point is merely an emotional reaction to the movie because in reality the top score in DK is a live score done in front of 300 people on a verified machine by Billy Mitchel.
Dude, I can't believe the shit towards Billy that this movie generates. What is it about "greatest classic video player of the 20th century" that you people don't understand? and I'm talking on multiple games. The first perfect game of pacman alone just blows my mind. Steve Wiebe is great, no doubt, but somehow this movie turns Billy into a villain and he's not.
Billy may not be a villain but he is indeed a pompous asshole. He is cocky, ignorant, and blatantly rude for no reason except for the fact that Steve Wiebe is trying to beat his record. Records were meant to be broken, and Steve's character certainly speaks for itself, while Billy makes himself look like a jealous little kid. Just because he is good at a video game doesn't give him the right to act like a piece of shit. I hope Billy saw the way he acted in the movie and hates himself for it.
let me clarify, only LIVE scores shold be excepted. Im going to tape myself breaking a world record(Edited and fake of course) and send it in, maybe ill be in next years book!
lets say it was a scam, how would you go about pulling it off? if they tape the whole thing, how are you going to edit in the exact scores on the same levels, and the same amount of lives? as long as they have the pcb verified first. which you can review the tape and verify the the pcb is legit, by the way the game is playing, and scoring. i just dont think u could fool someone, if they study the tape. if u feel otherwise let me know how it could be done? thanks
Its easily be done,reverse engineering a machine with a PC and saving states similar to what mame does or keeping a cabinet and just using mame, if you die record the saved state to where you died. Plus if you remeber the video in the movie had some glitches, why didnt he keep the copy and send the original if it was out of focus? i dont doubt his skill as a gamer, hes the poster boy for Twingalaxiesthey wont let him lose, my point is that world records are preformed publicly not via videotape.
i havent seen the movie, but i dont get why this clip said at first "july 13 - billy 1,050,200" an then steve broke it? "march 23 - 1,049,100?" so that meens billy is still the record holder? with only 1,100?
how would he have known the kill screen, and about what score exactlly could be accieved, i bet its 100% liget, not his style having to have lied about it, he couldn't sleep at night, he is a true competitor!
This is possibly the most annoying video I have ever seen. It could have been done in like 4 minutes but you insisted on the title cards and shitty music.
Billy and Steve had met and pleyed together during the filming of this movie, but they never shopw you that, instead these guys decide that their movie needs a good guy and a villian. If a movie came out that distorted you and made you look like a jerk would you attend. Do the research, you'll see the film while fun to watch is full of lies, the fact that Steve knows this and doesn't address it only makes him a bigger Asshole. Also Billy wasn't the record holder when Steve first broke it
I'd be interested in hearing the counter to the moment when Billy showed up at that Guiness competition, and Steve offered a greeting, but all Billy did was mumble to his wife that there were some folks he'd rather not be around. Was that something the documentary asked him to say in order to enhance the sense that he's the villain? Definitely would love to hear the other side of that coin. ;p
Billy Mitchell is clearly an egomaniacal jerk, his actions in the movie speak for themselves. There's no way you could twist around the fact that he acted like a complete douche bag when he came with his wife to the arcade in Florida and didn't even greet Steve. Nice hair you fuckin loser. Brian Kuh is probably blowing him right now.
@Asterra2 if you lison to the audio in that part of the movie the donkey kong game jump from the rivet screen to barrl screen they chop up the film to make look like bill did not talk to him but in fact bill did stop and talk to steve for a min to say hi and good luck so he not a compleat asshole :)
What the hell are you talking about. The new record that eclipsed steve's record was done in front of numerous people WITH a referee. Yeah the one where he sent the tape in I admit was a little weak on Billy's part, but the new record was done in public.
The problem with Billy's 1,050,100 point record is that it isn't officially recognized. I know its a technicality, but Billy of all people should know that rules are rules, and you have to obey them.
Difference...
Mitchell is a douchebag
