Twin Galaxies To Officiate Steve Wiebe Donkey Kong Record Attempt On National Cable Television

(Los Angeles, CA - For Immediate Release) Twin Galaxies International and G4 Media, Inc. are proud to announce national television coverage of Steve Wiebe's attempt to reclaim the Donkey Kong World Record. The event will take place as part of the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on June 2, 2009 from the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Twin Galaxies will be on-hand live for this historic live airing of a World Record attempt, which will be airing on the G4 Network.

Washington state native Steve Wiebe came onto the scene at Twin Galaxies nearly 6 years ago when he took the Donkey Kong World Record from New York's Tim Sczerby. The scores submitted by Steve drew the attention of former champion Billy Mitchell of Florida, one of the most accomplished gamers of the "Classic Era" from the early 1980s. The back-and-forth battle that followed became the subject matter for the 2007 film The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which originally came out in a limited theatrical release, only to gain mainstream attention after it's 2008 release on DVD and airings on G4 television.

The movie ended with Steve regaining the record with a score of 1,049,100 points, but it was Mitchell who came out on top in June of 2007, where he gained 1,050,200 points at a live event. Wiebe has been criss-crossing the country ever since in attempts to reclaim the record at various live events.

The Twin Galaxies website (http://www.TwinGalaxies.com) will soon publish an exclusive interview with Steve Wiebe where he speaks on this upcoming event as well as another big announcement, as well as bringing news on this event together as it becomes available.
