Indie pro wrestler Leroy “The Human Tackboard” Patterson is on a quest to own every copy of Burger King stealth-action game Sneak King. And he won’t tap out until he has them all.
Currently, The Human Tackboard owns 2,706 copies of the 2006 marketing game. That’s 2,706 more copies than most people own! He says his collection started small with only one copy of each of BK’s three video games. However, upon finding 50 copies of Sneak King at a thrift store, Patterson’s new hobby took off.
He and fellow wrestler Bobby Ramos even created a YouTube channel after accumulating around 200 copies. The channel, called Sneak Kingz, is dedicated to chronicling their king-sized journey. Judging on the current size of the collection, they’ve been more than successful thus far. In only their second episode, the duo procured a whopper of a deal with 1,000 copies.
Have it your way on Xbox 360 with Sneak King
At this point of the article, you may be asking yourself, “What is Sneak King?” Well, in 2006, fast food giant Burger King published three videogames in a marketing campaign alongside Microsoft for the Xbox 360. For only $4, patrons could purchase PocketBike Racer, Big Bumpin’, and the main event… Sneak King with the purchase of a value meal.
The slobber-knocker of a game Sneak King is a stealth-action title where players take on the role of the Burger King himself. In the game, the creepy King must stealthily deliver value meals to customers. Although the BK games are largely forgotten today, over 2.7 million copies were sold during the promotion. In other words, our thumbtack-crazed enthusiast has a ways to go.
As for Patterson’s motives, he states that one of two things will happen: he’ll get rich or he’ll have a good laugh.
If they are worth something someday, we are rich! If they are worth nothing, it’s a funny story and journey!

The second scenario appears more likely, but as anything is possible within the squared circle, the possibilities are endless in gaming as well. Regardless of the outcome, there’s no denying that Patterson’s collection of Sneak King is all elite.
