What's your favorite Classic Arcade Game? Steve Wiebe, King of Kong Interview

Learn GarageBand in only 30 days! http://mhlo.co/GarageBandApp
While games like Grand Theft Auto 4 may be all the rage today with their advanced graphics and expansive maps, old school classics like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga haven't become any less fun over the years. We went down to the Twiistup event in Santa Monica to speak to Steve Wiebe and Walter Day from the documentary movie, The King of Kong to find out why games that were made over two decades ago are still being played, and to get the scoop on Steve's Donkey Kong world record attempt. We also took two steps outside our studio to speak to gamers at the Joystiq.com reader meetup, which was hosted at Mahalo's HQ. Make sure to leave a comment telling us what your favorite retro video game is!

Steve, I rented King of Kong on Netflix last week and learned all about your struggle with Twin Galaxies and Billy. Keep up the practice in your garage man. My wife and I are rooting for you! I know You'll get past 1,050,000, it's only a matter of time.

Not many comments with Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. PAC-Man FTW.

When I used to go to the Arcade, my Buddies and me would go to the back room and play the game: "who can hold the smoke in longest."

Wonder Boy was my favorite arcade game. I may not be the world best, but I usually get a crowd around me when ever I play at any milkbar that still has it.
