OK, I have noticed that in Donkey Kong sphere there are some people who have not gotten as much attention as they probably have deserved. I decided to make a little list of people who I think deserved more attention through the years, but for whatever reason didn't get it. Also I am not trying to stir up a hornets nest. It's not the end of the world that these people are not more known to the general public. Life does go on, and I am sure that most on the list are just fine with the attention they have gotten. When I am talking about Donkey Kong in this context I am talking like someone who would talk about under rated boxers, or under rated football players. No personal agenda, just trying to create an outside the box fun topic.
Dean Saglio: Yeah, I know he has had some shining moments, but considering that he simply is the greatest Donkey Kong player to ever walk the face of the earth he definitely is under rated in the eyes of the population at large.
Ross Benzinger: The man merely has the 2nd best Donkey Kong Arcade score in existence, and ranked 2nd in the Kong Off, but unlike the other big time Donkey Kong players he never had a documentary team, and he's never really made national attention for his exploits.
Allen Staal: Some might say "But wait a minute he gets tons of viewers on his streams, and he is well beloved in the community." I agree true enough, but outside of this community how many people actually know about Allen? He gets very little press, and again no documentary crews are following him around despite his very entertaining personality.
Tim Scerby: Yeah, I know that 90 percent of his posts are about how he was robbed of fame, and money by the King of Kong crew, but truth be told he is the only former Donkey Kong champion that almost no one knows about. He never did really have his moment in the sun like every other current or former Arcade champion has enjoyed.
