it seems like his crew failed him,
What, by somehow tricking him into playing on MAME instead of actual hardware?

I can't say one way or the other but I've also heard he's really pretty cool.
haha no.Mitchell pwns. Gamer of the Century
In the King of Kong its' rumored that they were trying to set him up as the goodguy.no. at. all. dude's a douche-canoe. he looks like the bad guy from a shitty b-movie, about video games
See where they pull the board?
And admitted later that it was the same board and that it was all a show.
why's thatSeeing that clip, Id honestly rather be one of those hipster Fortnite kid streamers than any of the people shown in that video.
I don't know if I'm too old to "get" this discussion thread or too young.
yes, or not telling him it was MAME in some manner or fashion, yahWhat, by somehow tricking him into playing on MAME instead of actual hardware?

that why i didnt reply. no idea what point he is trying to make with that post...OK I watched 30 minutes of that and skipped around...it's about PacMan, not Donkey Kong.
They removed Billy Mitchell's scores from their ranking: https://kotaku.com/twin-galaxies-removes-former-donkey-kong-champ-billy-mi-1825211232
It's amazing how expensive those machines have become. 35 years ago, I had a friend who bought Pacman and Donkey Kong for about 200 each (used). I get it to some degree with Pinball (because most of the old tables are no longer made and reconditioning them can be expensive), but for old video games, they're dirt cheap for them to make them. I assume the most expensive components are the monitor (which is still pretty cheap) and the housing. I'd be more inclined to spend the bucks on pinball over a video game (though I think most older pinball machiens are more than 2100). I def wouldn't buy a pinball machine on Ebay. Gotta see it an play it to put out htat kinda cash...not sure about a video game.
Billy didn't even have the high-score at the time.The King of Kong was scripted ^^ it's staged / fiction
Cheating aside Billy seemed like kind of a prick to me in that movie... whatevs.
Not a dis to you or anything... just my feelings about him...
who?so that dragster guy going to get reinstated also now?
sad, i seeTodd Rogers.
There's no way his scores aren't even achievable.
You mean those he repeatedly demonstrated live in front of witnesses, those records? Yes, he sure does get to keep themEven after cheating and piles of evidence to prove it he still gets to keep his records?
Guiness book should be relegated to toilet paper.
