A Must See: The King of Kong

Over the weekend, I ventured over to a small local theater - the hole in the wall kind that actually shows smaller, independent films, and watched “The King of Kong”. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a documentary about two gamers competing for the all-time high score in Donkey Kong.
Let me tell you, as a gamer, even I was amazed at the culture of some of the old school types - the guys still popping quarters in games like Pac Man, Joust, and Centipede. It’s a fascinating look at nerd culture, and the history of video games. By the end of the movie, I was really rooting for my favorite guy to beat the other one.
It’s a bit hard to find (I had to call three or four theaters before I found one who was showing it), but it’s worth the effort … you gotta see this movie. You’ll laugh, maybe even cry. Either way, you’ll enjoy it the entire way through.
