Longtime 'Donkey Kong' record holder gets high scores stripped away

After years of enjoying his reign at the top of the Donkey Kong leaderboard, legendary arcade gamer Billy Mitchell has officially fallen from grace.

Twin Galaxies, the preeminent source (and adjudicator) for video game records worldwide, has made a decision to strip Mitchell of his infamous Donkey Kong records after months of investigation revealed he cheated to produce his high scores. All other scores and records Mitchell has held have also been removed and he has been banned form future competitions.
