Lmao "Haters will see you walk on water and say its because you cant swim."
---

I hate Billy Mitchell cause he is a douche, not because he faked some Donkey Kong score I never cared about.
---

This dude is a cartoon character lol
---

Being famous over a high score in a video game is ridiculous. lol

He actually is. Regular Show made fun of him and made him a character with a big head that exploded

Last time I checked this dude wasn't even top 10 anymore lol. Some doctor guy took over as the champ.

Oh shit I remember that episode lol i didnt know it was supposed to be based on this guy.

Good for him.

Doesn't change the fact that he cheated to ensure he could get that score in a single attempt in front of a live audience at an event.

That's kind of the biggest shame about it unlike Todd Rogers he's legitimately talented enough to play his games really well, but since he's such a egotistical douchebag he felt the need to cheat anyway because God forbid he not be #1 at everything at all times.

I guess I'm a little confused. Back in the 70's, there was no emulation technology right? So how could he cheat back then?
---

The fact that we all still know his name a decade after King of Kong goes to show how much he really succeeded being a villain as opposed to some uncharismatic nameless nerd who got a high score on an old video game.

Kind of impressive imo
---

He's still a fucking asshole.

Apparently some cabinets were different and could be messed with or something.

But Billy is saying it's impossible to prove he cheated because the website lost his footage.

Yeah, but nobody remembers the Doctors name. Say what you want, but Billy was a master at riding his 15 minutes to the fullest.

I got nothing against Billy. lol remember when he went to the grocery store and he pushed all of the competing hot sauce to the back of the shelf. Man is ruthless!

Dammit I hate how people have messed up the term Hater .

A hater is someone who likes bring people down for no reason.
Billy is an admitted asshole so there is always a reason to dislike him.
---

I dont think people doubted him hitting that score, it was that he lied about what system he got it on. That puts it in a different category or high scores on emulated software and not the pure real machine.

I only know who he is because of people on this board bitching about him tbh

I've never seen the documentary.
---

Yeah he 100% cheated before.

There's no reason to believe him until he produces verified evidence, and there's no reason to care unless he posts a competitive score legitimately - the reason he faked 1,000,000 when he did is because nobody had done it before. That was the whole reason he cared back then. He basked in the glory of that score while faking his attempt.

False

I mean, wasn't it actually proven that he cheated though?

No it wasn't

Footage of his run was lost. They thought it was tampered with but they didn't have his actual footage

Does anyone give a Shit?

He's claiming the proof was doctored (idk how you would doctor a vhs tape like that)

Billy Mitchell @BillyPacman

You should do more research. The tapes they evaluated were not the tapes I gave them. They were tapes given to them by a guy who owned a website called fuckbillymitchell dot com. The tapes I gave them were lost over 10 years ago, so they reached out to random people

Huh... is it possible hes telling the truth?

He may be telling the truth about donkey Kong but there's no way he didn't cheat for Donkey Kong Jr.

He is the King we can all be proud of
