Gorfy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm surprised I got this far. I've always been wretched at this (and most Nintendo platform games). Score: 55,100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Quick first score for the moment: Donkey Kong, 1BB: 43,800. Still way below my personal best from the 2013 season (71k). I hope I will have time to try and improve... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 5200 So I guess I'm not smart enough to pass the second screen. None of the ladders on the top row let you climb? Is the right one random or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 5200 So I guess I'm not smart enough to pass the second screen. None of the ladders on the top row let you climb? Is the right one random or something? You don't get to the top of the screen. On each floor, you must walk over each of the little segments that disappears as you walk over them. Then the level is complete. Poor description on my part, but does that make sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 5200 So I guess I'm not smart enough to pass the second screen. None of the ladders on the top row let you climb? Is the right one random or something? The little segments will also disappear if you jump over them. Handy if there's a fireball on top of one of them. Also fun because if you jump over the last one, the screen ends with Mario frozen in the air, like the end of an 80's movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Small improvement: 83,300! Have to learn patience if I'm gonna get close to my PB of 165K. Edited January 24, 2016 by Deteacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 16,300 They say that Coleco intentionally crippled their games on other consoles to make the ColecoVision look superior. While it might be true, it's kind of hard to say whether it was intentional with Donkey Kong. True it only has two levels and all that, but they only had 4k of space to work with as well so it could've just been technical limitations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramses Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Huh, this game seems more difficult than I remember. I'd like to see a 4 level version of this game that keeps the 2 levels from this one. 44,300 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
