Billy Mitchell is taking his 'Donkey Kong' cheating saga to court

Arcade expert and hot sauce mogul Billy Mitchell made a name for himself by earning record-breaking scores in games like Pac-Man and BurgerTime. Two years ago, de facto scorekeeper Twin Galaxies stripped Mitchell of his Donkey Kong records after concluding that his most recent score was not achieved on authentic arcade hardware. Mitchell refuted this, and in September of 2019, the gamer and his lawyer announced they'd be taking Twin Galaxies to court, after claiming that the company had defamed his name. According to Ars Technica, Mitchell had, in fact, already filed suit in April of 2019, as to avoid California's statute of limitations running its course. The case was served to Twin Galaxies this February, and a hearing will be held in July.
