April 13, 20187 yr I took a pic with him at the Classic Game Fest in Austin last year. Got a poster of King of Kong signed and it's hanging in my game room. I regret nothing!
April 13, 20187 yr They can vacate his titles and his scoring records, but they can never undo all that groupie sex he got as a result.
April 13, 20187 yr It was a matter of time once Walter stopped running TG. They have a lot more scores to invalidate besides BM's. As for the "emulated" argument, you can play this on a 60-in-1 multiboard and it's the exact same code even though it's emulated using a stripped down version of MAME. The only "mods" available are the same dip switch settings used on the original PCB. A lot easier to keep running than an original DK. I don't know why they give a shit if the board is original or not. It's the program that matters. I don't see them checking the joystick and buttons to make sure they aren't newer switch versions with better response times, or demanding that the monitor be an original Sanyo 20EZW so that you don't get a clearer or larger image from a non- standard monitor and an inverter/converter. Besides - they stopped taking video proof for DK a while back when Steve Wiebe was doing The King Of Kong tour. If you think he cheated, then just erase the scores and tell him to show up and do it live.

June 21, 20205 yr High scores in video games mean about as much to me as speed runs. Why anyone over the age of 12 would give a shit about either boggles the mind.
