was a enjoyable documentary. About the world of competitive classic game arcading. Is that word?

However, after i watched the film I read some reviews and articles. It's clear that the director took some liberties with the truth, but it was still interesting and good.

Here's an interview of Billy Mitchell, one of the two main protagonists in the film. This interview is about Pac-man, therefore not directly related to the film's subject of donkey kong. But you'll get a flavor for what this cat is like.

For those that have not seen it (or want to watch it again), It is making it's TV debut on G4, June 1st.

I thought it was great.

Lebowksi's thread prompted people to check out new documentaries.

Nice.

Now, time for DARKON.
