    Twin Galaxies announced its decision to strip Mitchell of his records back in April 2018 after its investigation revealed that he had not achieved his Donkey Kong high scores on original arcade hardware. While some in the community have accused Mitchell of using the arcade emulation software MAME, Twin Galaxies said it didn’t have enough evidence to support this claim. Guinness World Records, which had been relying on Twin Galaxies to verify Mitchell’s scores, subsequently stripped him of his records.

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    I saw a documentary on this guy a while back, 'The King of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters', about the guy who was out to beat Mitchell's record on the game. It was an amusing piece, and Mitchell is a very strange guy.

    That’s what happens when you’re 54yrs-old and have spent your life playing a video game.

    All I can think of is George trying to preserve his frogger high score. Sorry, not serious.
