Win a donkey kong machine on bild.de

[goalzzz]

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.

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

and the other half of the year is being spent on travelling around europe to collect those games

WE HAVE A WINNER (But don't you already have one ?) ;0

i do, but there's a different game installed (dig dug bootleg)

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) and hopefully i haven't reached (b) yet!

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 ...

[Etienne MacGyver]

I don't know how to take that picture ...

does patrick know how to push the botton on the camera?  

[Superully]

does patrick know how to push the botton on the camera?  

sure he does, but i don't know how to jupm over an arcade machine of course we could fake it, but i'm not totally convinced yet PLUS what should i wear? you're never going to get me into a mario costume!

[Ronald Reagan]

never mind about the costume, grow a moustache first! I think you should enter, Arcadelifestyle!!!
