Billy Mitchell must be pissed. The certified 'Video Game Player of the [20th] Century' has lost the Donkey Kong world record -- again -- to longtime rival Steve Wiebe. Wiebe nudged Billy's July 31 record of 1,062,800 points with a masterful 1,064,500-point effort, achieved on August 20 and confirmed today by score authority Twin Galaxies. The two rivals memorably starred in the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.
Hank Chien, who ever so briefly enjoyed the limelight, falls to third on the all-time leaderboard.
