When old school gaming trivia is featured on the hit game show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, spending all those hours pounding controllers in front of a tiny tube screen could actually pay off. In an episode of Millionaire, significantly up the tier, this contestant was faced with a question that most classic gamers can answer in their sleep.

“In the video game, “Donkey Kong”, the hero now called Mario was originally known as what?”

Did she have to use her “Phone a Friend” to call OGN? Check out the video to see what happened or read the original story here.
