Did you know
ā¢ In 2019, it was discovered that Billy Mitchell used an emulator to cheat on all of his scores of over 1 million points. Mitchell has since tried to sue critics to silence them.
ā¢ The project originally began as a documentary about competitive gaming in general - it wasn't until the film was well into production that the crew discovered the events surrounding Wiebe and Mitchell, and decided to re-focus the film entirely on this rivalry. This largely accounts for the amount of coverage the film gives to minor players, such as the elderly Q*Bert champion. By the time production ended, over 300 hours of video had been shot.
ā¢ Steve Wiebe regained the title on September 20, 2010 with 1,064,500 points.

User reviews
A Fairly Accurate Look At Gaming Sub Culture.
More fun then non-gamers should think
Turns into a startlingly fascinating character study.
