Who invented what?
« on: November 11, 2019, 08:27:13 pm »
I was talking to Phil Day whose working on an Article arcade related.  He asked who were the inventors of different moves.  Like the Top Shelf, barrel grouping,  and even point pressing off Donkey Kong's leg.

They don't have to be the inventors, but the earliest known practitioners of said moves.  So I know Dean Saglio, Ross Benzinger, and Ben Falls modernized Donkey Kong play.  I'm just unsure what maneuvers they helped modernize.

There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low

So instead of shining the spotlight on the pioneers of Donkey Kong, you guys do this garbage.  Where's the respect for the history of the game?

Because the people who created the moves in Donkey Kong deserve recognition. This isn't about me it's about them.
