 Controversial arcade game player Billy Mitchell’s record scores have been removed from the Twin Galaxies leaderboards following a dispute earlier this year that many were performed using an arcade emulator. The ruling, which comes after a lengthy arbitration process, also bans Mitchell from further participation on the leaderboards, bringing an end to the King of Kong star’s high-score glory. All of Mitchell’s records on Twin Galaxies, an organization that tracks video game records and high scores, have been scrubbed. These marks included a 1,062,800-point score for the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, as well as scores set between 2005 and 2007. Check out 'The King of Kong' if you're wondering what all this is about. 😂 |

I remember that, good documentary... enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would. I do seem to remember him being the dodgy one on that too, though that might have been just how he was shown haha
But no, dodgy geezer!

This has made my weekend! What a "doush"!
I loved King of Kong! I went out of my way to email the protagonist and congratulate him after watching the film, he was gracious and down to earth... unlike Billy. Good guys/girls come first (for a change)
