Billy Mitchell fires back, claims his scores are legit

The King of Kong star Billy Mitchell has finally broken his silence concerning claims that his Donkey Kong record scores were recorded off of MAME, rather than a legitimate arcade machine. Billy is sticking to his guns and saying that his scores are legit, and there's a video out there to prove it.

“I’ve never even played MAME. I don’t have MAME loaded in my home. The film footage that he has, that Donkey Kong Forum moderator Jeremy Young has, shows MAME play. Now, I contend that if he gets the original tape, or he gets the original room shot, he will see that what I say is true. I’m not disputing what he says. What I’m disputing is the fact that I want him to have the original tape. And the fact of the matter is that that original footage was given to Twin Galaxies, Twin Galaxies has it or should have it, and if it’s anywhere other than Twin Galaxies, that’s a real problem.”

Long story short, Billy says his scores are real, and Twin Galaxies has the tape to prove it. As you can probably guess, Twin Galaxies says they have heard of the tape, but have no idea where it is.
