Billy Mitchell opens a KING OF KONG Arcade

Tempestuous Donkey Kong high-score champion Billy Mitchell has opened his own arcade in Orlando airport, Florida, US.

Named King of Kong, according to Arcade Heroes, the arcade borrows part of the title from 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. A strange choice, given how the film portrayed Mitchell as a slippery, unsavoury character who seemed reluctant to accept that his 1982 Donkey Kong high score had been beaten by challenger Steve Wiebe.

Mitchell's airport arcade has murals of Nintendo's famous platform game covering the walls, plus pictures of flaming barrels adorning the entrance. But bizarrely there's not a Donkey Kong arcade machine in sight.

Ok, i admit it. The title is a lie. Billy Mitchell wouldn't want to have another guy break his record on a machine he even provided himself



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

If there was a Donkey Kong machine there, what do you bet Steve Weibe would live at that place?
