The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)

I hated this game growing up. Nothing ate up my meager pocket of quarters faster than my attempts to reach the second level. So it was literally astounding to see these masters of the game make it to the last level, or kill screen, in one of the great showdowns of our time.

OK, one of the great showdowns of some nerds at ComicCon's time. But still, you couldn't make up characters like these if you tried. It's pure entertainment to watch how seriously the world of classic video games takes themselves. And you have to respect that.
