The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters

I watched this movie on the plane ride to Chicago today. I got it from @treywallis a few weeks ago but just hadn't gotten around to watching it.

The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters follows the world of arcade gamers high scores from the 1980s until present day.

A great story that has less to do with video games and more about the fight of good against evil ...seriously.

From the website:

A middle-school science teacher and a hot sauce mogul vie for the Guinness World Record on the arcade classic, Donkey Kong. Steve and Billy engaged in a cross-country duel to see who could set the high score and become The King of Kong. Along the way, both men learned valuable lessons about what it means to be a father, a husband, and a true champion discovering that you dont always need to win to be a winner.

Here is the trailer and a few clips in case you don't have time or patience to watch the whole thing.
