"King of Kong" in Olympia

By weeklyvolcano on November 8, 2007

“The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” screens today at the Olympia Film Festival. It’s documentary that is beyond strange, about two archenemies and their grim, long-term rivalry to set the world record score in the 1980s arcade game Donkey Kong. One is a hot sauce tycoon, the other just got laid off at Boeing, and they both spend way more time playing Donkey Kong than any human life should have to endure.
