Fantastic documentary about the classic gaming scene. In particular focuses achieving the high score on Donkey Kong, if you've ever played the game you can really appreciate the immense skill it takes to rack up such scores. The characters are what made the movie from the antagonist Billy Mitchell who comes across as an arrogant prick with little to back up his big talk, to Steve Wiebe a regular guy with kids and a family who challenges his record. It was really interesting to see how the classic video game score keeping works and how much time is put into it by so many individuals who do it for free. I know everyone is used to more serious documentaries and may dismiss this as fluff, but do yourself a favor and check this one out.
