CapitanClassic Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I might just have to settle for 3rd place. I really don't like this version. I played a ton of hours of this on the Atari800 because I had the cartridge, but this version is lacking so much. (plus I just got Xcom:Enemy Unknown and I am considering competing in the NES HSC and a800 HSC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Prepare to vanish from the face of the earth for a week. Possibly two or three, depending on if you already know your way around or not. That game is incredibly addictive. It was part of a HumbleBundle for $1, and I like it so far. an adaquate sequel to the old DOS version. The problem with owning so many games (or the roms), is that I don't really feel a huge desire to play anything in particular. back when I paid $2 to rent an NES game for a weekend, I played the game to death (I suppose I also had much more free time with zero responsibilities) I don't think it will cut into my HSC time too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Wish I had realized we'd started up again last week! Would've dug playing that, since the old DK is not a favorite. Oh well, still glad to have an excuse to play Atari. 46100, but I might get back to it later. I'd like to hit 100k for no particular reason... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) I scored 74,500. I'm not posting a picture yet because I'm trying to get higher of course. Changing my post about the game "cheating". In the instruction manual it says the fireballs can jump gaps.

I think that's more of a case of "a bug becoming a feature" than any intentional design choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) 34,500 And so ends a long week of Donkey Kong. Maybe I can't play mistake-free as long as I used to, or maybe my level of patience is inversely proportional to my age. Whatever it is, I'm glad this week is coming to its merciful conclusion. .

S.BAZ Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think the fireballs (i've been calling them "jitterbugs" -- fitting with the 'bugs' reference) can only cross gaps when jittering. added my pic & partial video. still playing Donkey Kong but getting stuffed. i did have a 200k+ run yesterday though. **bonus available** let's play a homebrew Donkey Kong for bonus pts. (thanks CapitanClassic for the idea!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thanks CapitanClassic for the idea!) I've had them slide across the gaps when they aren't in that jitter mode. But it is more prevalent when they are in that temporary mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Now this is a good version of the game. The flicker isn't bad, but it is odd that the barrels don't go down to the bottom level. DK_VCS - 33,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well, I'm done. I finally managed to break 100,000 and I'm satisfied. The rivets level fireballs are so tedious, I can't play it anymore. Final score: 104,700. I got 17,900 on the other one, however looking at other people's images, I think I played the wrong game. Didn't realize there are a couple of different DK homebrews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Rames, the links are in the OP to the binaries. Yes, there are 2 homebrews, DK VCS ad DK Arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
