Donkey Kong Cheat

Do you remember Donkey Kong? 

For those unfamiliar with the hallowed halls of arcade gaming, Donkey Kong is more than just a game; it's a battleground for high-score supremacy. The iconic platformer, released in 1981, has spawned countless hours of competitive play and, more recently, a full-blown legal feud.

At the heart of the controversy is Billy Mitchell, a name synonymous with gaming records. His 1,062,800 point Donkey Kong score was once the gold standard, a seemingly insurmountable peak in the world of arcade gaming. However, allegations of cheating began to cast a shadow over his achievements. Billy’s record was ultimately stripped by Twin Galaxies, the official record-keeping organisation for arcade games.

​

Now, enter - Karl Jobst, a YouTuber who has made a name for himself debunking gaming myths and exposing cheating scandals. Jobst's accusations against Mitchell ignited a firestorm, leading to a new legal battle.

As the saga unfolds, the former world record holder for Donkey Kong is embroiled in a courtroom showdown over allegations of cheating, but now it seems he can't even make it to the ring.

Mitchell's lawyers have informed the court that their client is unable to attend the upcoming trial, citing a mysterious "pre-existing commitment." The judge, clearly unimpressed, has given Mitchell a stern talking-to, demanding an explanation for his absence.

Meanwhile, the legal wrangling continues, with both sides digging in for what promises to be a battle royale of epic proportions. As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the world is watching with popcorn in hand, eager to see if Mitchell can finally clear his name or if Jobst will be crowned the ultimate victor in this high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
