We review the Now Streaming film, MAN vs SNAKE: The Long and Twisted Tale of Nibbler, the inspirational and outrageous true story of one man's quest for the highest video game score ever. MAN vs. SNAKE is the Directorial debut by Editors Tim Kinzy, Andrew Seklir (Battlestar Gallactica: Razor). Tim McVey broke the billion dollar mark getting the highest video game score ever back in 1983 when he scored big on Nibbler, a lessor celebrated game under the shadow of the rockstars of the video arcades in the 80s, Donkey Kong and Pac Man. After decades, some questions about the validity of his record and a new challenger, Tim goes for it, again. He's an unlikely leading man who becomes the hero you find yourself rooting for in this delightful gem of a documentary. Fans of King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, look out for some familiar faces to appear, Billy Mitchell, Walter Day and more of the folks from the wonderful world of video arcade games. 9/10
