King Of Kong Attempting To Beat Own Record
If you've seen the documentary King of Kong, you're familiar with the name Steve Wiebe. The classic gaming expert still holds the current Donkey Kong world record, but he's hoping to put Billy Mitchell even further behind by attempting to beat his own score of 1,064,500 points.
The attempt is going down at Logan Hardware in Chicago on January 15th. You can stop by to watch Wiebe in action, and if you're really into Donkey Kong, you can attend a Wiebe-taught class on how to play the arcade classic.
Space for the event is limited, so check out the Logan Hardware site if you're interested in attending.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
