Win a donkey kong machine on bild.de
« on: December 06, 2010, 03:53:00 PM »
You can win some kind of donkey kong cab over at bild.de by sending in the obligatory "making-yourself-look-stupid" or otherwise funny donkey kong-related picture. The cabinet looks a bit weird though.  :wink:

Pins: TRON, Simpsons (data east), Lost in Space.
Arcades: Phoenix (cocktail), Hydro Thunder.

Just tell them, that you collect 30 years old non-working arcade machines and spend the half of the year to restore them! ;D

I guess you have 2 options. Make a crazy picture of yourself in your arcadeshed, then Bild will immediately see that you are an arcadelover. Maybe jumping over a cab as if that it is a barrel, photoshop a dk-screen in your shed or something, I don't know.
The other option is to make a really stupid photo of yourself, in a zoo wearing a DK-shirt or whatever, but I guess everyone in Germany can come up with something like that, so you should go for option 1. Show them that you have a lot of arcade cabs cause that's what makes you unique, dress up like a monkey or plumber in your shed. I think Bild will publish a photo like that easily, cause to the normal Bild reader, someone who collects arcade is pretty weird :)

I kinda' forgot: Did we conclude that this was an officially licensed machine, or simply a blatant bootleg ?

Would be hilarious if Nintendo promotes their latest DK release with a bootleg :)

Better not have that cab in the picture though.... or they will think you already have one :)

Just beg that this is your holy grail and this is the ONE missing machine from your collection ;) ;)

guys, i don't know if i want my picture to appear in the BILD newspaper, because i've only recently told a friend of mine that there are two ways to make it into that newspaper:

(a) naked

OR

(b) scum

i don't want to do (a) :P and hopefully i haven't reached (b) yet! 8)

however, i like the idea of me jumping over an arcade machine with a giant hammer in my hand, but i'm not sure whether those Bild guys unstand the reference. PLUS I don't know how to take that picture ...
