Submission + - Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies settle lawsuits on Donkey Kong world records (gamesradar.com)

UnknowingFool writes: Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies announced they have settled their lawsuits regarding the Donkey Kong high scores. In April 2018, Twin Galaxies removed Billy Mitchell from their list of official scores in citing anomalies in the official submissions of his Donkey Kong scores. Twin Galaxies believed that Mitchell used a MAME emulator instead of original unmodified hardware and banned him from further submissions. In 2019, Mitchell sued for defamation. After 5 years, this settlement ends Mitchell's lawsuit as well as Twin Galaxies' counter suit. Twin Galaxies will not reinstate Mitchell's scores on the official list and will not allow him to submit new scores. Twin Galaxies will create a web accessible database that contains archived, historical scores. This database reflects all high scores when the current owner bought Twin Galaxies in 2014. It also contains entries of other players that have since been removed due to allegations of cheating like Todd Rogers. Mitchell is treating this as a win in Twitter in that Twin Galaxies "reinstated all my world records".
