The King of Kong...

Have you ever woken up in a sweat because you had a terrible dream about Donkey Kong? Lets say you set a Kong world record with 800,000+ points back in the early 80's.

For the next couple of months, he studies the ladders, barrels, fireballs, and elevators that are mere obstacles in his way of become a champion. He now poses a threat to your reputation and ego. He ends up beating your score, and your life falls apart. Have you ever had that dream? These guys have...



If you're bored on a saturday night, I would recommend this fabulous documentary about one man's quest to become the Donkey Kong champ. In fact, I would recommend it even if you're not bored.
