The King of Kong
documentary movie


 

From the original motion picture soundtrack

 

 


"... 'Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede !'"

 -  Walter Day

In an interview with Ross Tuttle that was licensed to the King of Kong movie, Walter Day, head of Twin Galaxies, relates his wishes for fame, and adoration from others (girls !), for his skills on Centipede.  Well, at least, back in the early 80's...


 


"... I play video games..."

 -  Adam Wood

Here's the best quote in the whole movie (my (Mark Alpiger) quotes notwithstanding !).  Hell, it's the best quote in the history of classic arcade gaming !!  Kudos to Adam for being an example of the typical cag gamer - free of drugs, alcohol, and smoking.


 


"The all-around most seasoned person... "

 - Billy Mitchell

Here's the typical Billy Mitchell that's shown in the movie - boisterous, confident, and full of braggadocio.  Hey - most of it is deserved, whether he's talking about hot sauce (yawn...), or video gaming (yay !!).  Unfortunately, here he talks about the former.


 


"I thought I was going to be the first Funspot killscreen... "

 - Brian Kuh

Brian talks about his pursuit of reaching the final screen (called a killscreen, since all your men are killed because it can't be passed) on Donkey Kong first, at Funspot (the nation's premier arcade).  While he was doing this interview, Steve Wiebe was playing, and would end up during that annual event (in 2005) to be the first to reach the killscreen at Funspot.


 


"... talkin' him out of ... chumpatizing himself."

 - Roy Shildt

The infamous Roy Shildt turns out to be a key player in the movie, from the standpoint of supplying one or more game boards used by Steve Wiebe to play Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong Junior.  Here, he related how he talked Steve out of 'champatizing' himself, regarding Billy Mitchell's alleged master plan for retaining the title of Donkey Kong world champion.
