The world of vintage video game players
I saw this one at the AFI Dallas festival. A documentary about people who are very serious about playing vintage video games. What makes it really interesting is the contrast between the record-holder in Donkey Kong and the new challenger. The guy who got the highest score ever in back in the eighties and has help it ever since is a controlling, preening type of guy who seems to think it’s still 1982. The challenger is much more sympathetic, although he, too, is quite obsessive. A good film and a crowd-pleaser.
