Om den här filmen

If you ever played the game 'Snake' on your early model Nokia cellphone, then you're familiar with 'Nibbler,' the original 'snake' game. MAN VS SNAKE tells the story of Tim McVey who, in 1984, on a single quarter (and over 44 hours of non-stop play) was the first person in history to score over one billion points on a video game. 25 years later, rumors of a higher score surface online, attributed to Italian kickboxing champion Enrico Zanetti. This calls into question everything Tim McVey has believed for decades and forces him to make a decision: either set a new world record, or risk losing his legacy forever.

If you like king of Kong or retro gaming in general +80s and its music ..you'll love this ..it's a crazy hard game (try the game online its free )..fun animation too interspersed between interviews with the creators of the original arcade machine and the various gamers trying to beat Tims high scores .

This is much different than King of Kong in the way it shows a friendly competition amongst a few different marathon gamers, some old, some new. Nibbler is officially on the map thanks to Tim McVey. If you're an old school arcade fan, this is the documentary for you!

I've seen hundreds of documentaries and this documentary is amazing. If you enjoyed "King of Kong" then you'll love "Man versus Snake!"
