And it is apparently a very famous staple in early gamers history. I believe it was because it held the donkey kong cabinet which early gamers would try for the world record. I believe it was because the circuit board was unique an allowed for some time to be shaved off. It was a major destination and the epicenter of the DK World Record scandal I believe.

Look on YouTube for Billy Mitchell and Donkey Kong. I believe there’s a documentary and has lots of vintage NH video. I thought it was fascinating.

Had no clue until I was like 35.

My sister in law met him there a few years ago. She was star struck and he offered to show her the tricks to DK. I personally find that a bit creepy....she was 18 at the time and he would have been 52. Also he's a douche nozzle.

Yea… He doesn’t do himself any favors with his look. I imagine he wears so much Brut. He used to stream on Twitch for a hot second. I couldn’t resist.
