Hi guys.
Myself and 8 Bit Boy are organising a UK Kong Off Tournament to be held on Sunday 3rd May at Arcade Club, Bury.

The aim is to get together have a lot of fun so no one needs to feel anxious about entering.

Andy at Arcade Club will have 8 Donkey Kong cabinets for us to use on the stage so we should be able to rattle through the games on the day.

At this point we want to let everyone know and get an idea of how many would be interested in entering or even just coming along to support us?

Its about having fun guys. Nothing too serious.

I will spend time mastering Donkey Kong one day but I'm.hoping @RygarR will make it - that man's a machine

A Samsung fridge-freezer perhaps?

I love the idea of Donkey Kong. I'm just not very good at it. Still, sounds like a great idea for an event. If I'm free, I'd make an effort to go along.

UK Kong Off!

Yeah man.

Competition needs some kind of prize / trophy, maybe something kept for a year to be competed for at UK Kong Off 2 next year.

And maybe a kickstarter / GoFundMe to get Allen Staal over as a star guest. Much better him than that mullet who sues everybody.

Are there any details as to the competition format yet? Is this short games or full game competition?
And will the competition be live streamed?

Is there a Donkey Kong Kill Screen coming up. That'd be something to see live.

Bah! @kingtreelo I called birthday dibs first 🤣🤣

I did the Williams Defender meet last year and again, although I'm not a player it was incredible watching people who really knew the game. Can't recall the guys there now but there were two robotron players that blew my mind!
