What's your favorite Classic Arcade Game? Steve Wiebe, King of Kong Interview

Back


While games like Grand Theft Auto 4 may be all the rage today with their advanced graphics and expansive maps, old school classics like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga haven't become any less fun over the years. We went down to the Twiistup event in Santa Monica to speak to Steve Wiebe and Walter Day from the documentary movie, The King of Kong to find out why games that were made over two decades ago are still being played, and to get the scoop on Steve's Donkey Kong world record attempt. We also took two steps outside our studio to speak to gamers at the Joystiq.com reader meetup, which was hosted at Mahalo's HQ. Make sure to leave a comment telling us what your favorite retro video game is!

The sad thing is that people lost interest in old school arcades. There's few arcades still open here in California. Start visiting one before they close down.
