Dir: Seth Gordon

 Gamer of the Century Billy Mitchell, set the Guinness World Record of 874,300 points in eighties arcade classic Donkey Kong. Years later, stay-at-home dad Steve Wiebe perfected his game every night when his family went to bed, eventually surpassing Mitchell’s record with over one million points, a score once thought impossible. While Steve quickly becomes a celebrity in his hometown, Billy hatches a plan to discredit his score and reclaim his fallen Donkey Kong record. One of the best films of 2007.

Choose from 60 classic arcade games free to play in the Mercury foyer and view demonstrations of games produced through the MRC Gameslab program.
