King of Kong: the competition

Last week I celebrated the retro videogame documentary King of Kong here on the blog and in the paper. I also got a few mentions into Tech Weekly, our technology podcast. Suffice to say, I was smitten.

The movie, which follows a high score contest between incumbent Billy Mitchell and contender Steve Weibe on arcade classic Donkey Kong, scrapes away the bling of contemporary gaming championships and gets under the dirty fingernails of the characters themselves. Well worth a view.

And hey presto - this week, we've got five copies of the DVD to give away! To get your own copy, all you have to do is send in your favourite retro gaming pics - like this one, of Tetris Kittens from LOLcats. Send 'em to gamesblog +at+ gmail.com. We'll choose the five that make us chuckle the most.

Only one entry per person, so choose wisely. Competition ends on Friday.
