RECORD ROW RUMBLES ON
BILLY MITCHELL’S DEFAMATION LAWSUIT TO REACH TRIAL
The lengthy dispute over Billy Mitchell’s former Donkey
Kong world records shows no sign of ending soon, as his defamation case against Twin Galaxies is set to go to trial.
For those unfamiliar with the saga, Twin Galaxies disqualified all of Billy Mitchell’s scores across all games in 2018, following allegations that he had achieved some of his Donkey Kong world records on MAME rather than authentic arcade hardware – a breach of the rules of that competition category. Billy Mitchell disputes these claims, and earlier this year had his records reinstated by Guinness World Records following an appeal.
