“King of Kong” star Billy Mitchell has officially been stripped of his high scores and considered a cheat following an investigation by video game record-tracking organization Twin Galaxies. His scores are considered invalid because they were achieved on emulation software (MAME) rather than an original, unmodified arcade machine. Thanks Comixbooks.
The investigation resulted in confirming long-held suspicions: the provided evidence tape of the King of Kong score didn't come from actual arcade hardware. Same goes for his 1,050,200-point "Mortgage Brokers" score. TG said there wasn't enough evidence to comfortably make a definitive judgment on a third score of 1,062,800.
