King of Kong's Billy Mitchell Opens Arcade in Orlando Airport

<em>King of Kong</em>'s Billy Mitchell Opens Arcade in Orlando Airport

Billy Mitchell, best known for being painted the villain in 2007’s The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, has opened up an arcade in Orlando’s airport. Fittingly called King of Kong, the arcade features 8-bit themed decorations, and is adorned at the entrance by Mitchell himself alongside his King of Kong rival, Steve Wiebe.

The 2007 documentary followed Wiebe as he attempted to topple Mitchell’s world record high score on the classic arcade game Donkey Kong. Although the film portrayed the pair as bitter rivals, it seems they have come together now in the name of providing arcade goodness to the masses.

Strangely enough, there isn’t a single Donkey Kong machine in the place. Check out a video tour below:
