    Has anyone else seen this? He's opened up a Donkey Kong themed arcade..without any classic arcade machines in it whatsoever. Not even a Donkey Kong machine (The arcade is called The King of Kong ffs)

    I'm sure all the machines take hot sauce bottle caps rather than coins.

    Billy Mitchel may have a high score but he is a w4nk stain.
    Sure the movie showed him to be a ignorant piece of crap, even though the movie was edited for entertainment purposes.

    I'm gonna be at that airport sometime over the summer. Even if it's crap I'm gonna pop in, if only to get a pic by the entrance!

    When you are bored out of your mind in orlando airport its a god send, so go easy its better than nothing.

    And the artwork on the wall is pretty cool when you see it in the flesh

    Any battered old cab is a godsend while waiting in an airport..doesn't mean it any good though :D A person dying of hunger is going to think that crappy month old sandwich with gone off fish is the tastiest thing they've ever eaten.

    It does look cool aesthetically..It just strikes me as bizarre to put that much effort in and not have a Kong machine...?

    Maybe he doesn't want anyone beating his scores :pac:

    The Billy Mitchell hate always leaves me squirming in my seat. In Chasing Ghosts (a less story-edited documentary, but no less fantastic) you can see that Mitchell is hardly as bad as his reputation makes it seem. He's far from the best guy in the world but he's done more than his fair share of work promoting classic games with Twin Galaxies.
