Review of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) by Adam R — 24 Jun 2010

This documentary was awesome! I remember playing these games as a kid, and I remember staring at the screen behind those who making the high scores. I remember going to Chuck E Cheese and playing these games.

I remember watching TV and game shows that featured these classic games. Personally I think Billy Mitchell was a chump for not defending his title in a live event but, maybe he thought this film was out to get him or something.

Steve Wiebe showed class and integrity throughout the entire process, and good for him that he made it a success story. Hats off to Doris Self who was the oldest granny I've ever seen trying to set a world record on Q*bert.

I always dreamed of owning my own arcade one day, that is until Nintendo and XBOX came along. Now the dream is just to have a classic game like this in the garage one day. If you ever stepped foot in an arcade or just love the classics, you've got to see this film!
