The King of Kong gets a UK release

Posted by: Lawrence Wong

King of Kong

Win copies of 'The King of Kong' DVD and exclusive RetroGT T-shirts with MTV and Revolver Entertainment. 

'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' is a movie that has created quite a stir over in the US. It's a documentary that follows newcomer Steve Wiebe as he challenges classic gaming veteran Billy Mitchell to become the high score champion of Donkey Kong. This is an exciting story that features twists, controversy and fascinating characters in a ruthlessly competitive world. It's not just for gaming fanatics, it is truly insightful and more importantly, downright hilarious. We totally recommend it.

This critically acclaimed documentary is due for UK DVD release on 16th June. To celebrate we have created an exclusive T-shirt design featuring a RetroGT pixel treatment of Steve Wiebe at the arcade cabinet.

To get your hands on one of these lovely T-shirts, MTV are giving some away along with copies of the DVD. Check out their website to enter: www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/competitions/win_a_king_of_kong_dvd_t_shirt

The official King of Kong website are also running a competition to give away these T-shirts, copies of the DVD and Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008. You can enter their competition at: www.thekingofkong.co.uk

Posted by: Lawrence Wong

OMG, this T-sh!rt r teh r0xx0rz!!

We have added a new design based loosely around the logo of the classic game Elite on the BBC Micro. The word "Elite" is replaced with "1337" on a new winged insignia but retains its pixel charms.

It is yours to pwn as a T-Shirt, girl's T-Shirt or hoodie.
