Man Vs Snake (2015) about the first person to ever score a billion points in a game which took place at the legendary Twin Galaxies Arcade in 1983 (over 40hrs of continuous gameplay) and a 1v1 duke out 20/30 years later against another world class player and the attempt as a older guy to see if he could beat his former 1983 record and his adversary possibly caught cheating - but can he do it again? Or do you slow down too much with old age?  The fun part is his name is Tim McVey which gets confused with the terrorist dude, heh. |

Every game documentary I've seen so far has been good to great. Atari: Game Over, Indie Game the movie and especially the King of Kong. I'll be sure to check this out if I come across it.

I thought Mortal Combat was a good documentary. Too bad the name makes it difficult to find, I never saw it make much impact.

Yea, King of Kong was pretty good but Man Vs Snake is regarded to be better. Never would of thought a laid off teacher would want to make a run at the world record in Donkey Kong, neat story, lol. Some of these guys in these videos I've actually seen in person at the 2015 A Video Gaming Con about 47 minutes from where I live. The guy with the long hair, Billy Mitchell, I actually stood behind him and watched him play Centipede. |

Wait that guy's name is Tim McVeigh? Well it's spelled differently, Tim McVey, but sounds the same. When you hear it, you automatically think of the bad guy, lol.... |

He's actually good friends with the guy I bought my R-Type from who actually has his own documentary (The King of Arcades) who was also at the event and I wouldn't bother anyone while they're playing (I don't know if he was just playing for fun or going for a record, I was just kinda walking around filming and playing the games myself and stopped to watch him play for a few minutes.) It was a cool event. At the end, they had a 18+ adult only show with this hot babe dressed up like Zelda doing a strip dance, lol. I missed last years event, I gotta remember to go back this year. I should bring my R-Type II and put it on the floor since it's so rare and there's only two known to exist that's as nice as mine and I have one of the two so it would definitely be a showpiece at one of these events, lol. |

If I put all the work into it you put into it, I wouldn't trust all those other people putting their greasy mitts all over it. I've seen the King of Kong, I've seen people put drinks on top of those machines!  I've seen these docs too... given the relative rarity of the machine I wouldn't put it past them to try forcing their needle-dicks into the coin-slot. |
