pusakat Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Had a good block of time to play and finally got my game controllers out. Ironing the kinks out and got a nice score of 70,000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 DK FUN STUFF - There are a lot of fun things to do in DK - try standing next to DK and jump over all of his barrels, try jumping off the edges of the platforms into the sides. Like a dream I have a distant memory of trying just surviving on the barrel (hide behind the oil can!) and pie factory screens (good practice for jumping the fire bugs) - best on the harder skill level/5 - and see if you can get to the end of the timer. Latest Table Another week to go, if anyone missed round 1 post a late score for Joust as you wish. Let me know if i missed anything *DONKEY KONG* 1st Deteacher 191,200 12pts 2nd RedThunder 175,500 11pts 3rd McKong 171,800 10pts 4th therealbountybob 126,300 9pts 5th Goochman 101,000 9pts 6th oracle_jedi 84,100 8pts 7th Starbug 81,100 8pts 8th graywest 72,300 7pts 9th pusakat 70,000 7pts 10th Magmavision2000 68,400 6pts 11th Gury 65,300 6pts 12th Mangia-Boy 58,300 5pts 13th Sikor 38,900 4pts 14th carlsson 31,400 3pts 15th mimo 19,800 2pts 16th slx 14,300 2pts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Man, ever since my last score posting, I haven't been able to do squat with DK. Lucky to get to level 5. If I do make it that far, I'm crushed right away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I used to be pretty good at this game. Let me try it. At this VERY moment I can not play screenshots, but later I will... So let me fire up this game! Score so far is 54800 I believe that does not need a screenshot. The highest stack was 4 Donkey Kongs (is that 100m?) Edited February 8, 2020 by Marius Made screenshot! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 197600. So close to 200k and frustratingly dropped the last life by running into a goblin too fast with the hammer. Rookie mistake! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARBUG Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 After quite a few games scoring 80k+, finally cleared that girder level (level 4 I think). Bumped my score up a bit, well pleased with it Glad to finally join in the DK craze, albeit 35 years later than I'd intended ? 121,700 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I must say, it is a pretty decent Arcade port. It is lots of fun. Sometimes this game really gives you this ARG and GRMBL moment. You all probably know what I mean. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmavision2000 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I have one question about this game, do you get any more extra lives after 7000 points? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Yes! 68400 slight improvement. Oh I absolutely LOVE this game. Great to play in the HSC again. Anyone who knows how to show the image IN the post when there is a link to a google-photo? (Ah solved... you have to show the pic on your computer and then copy the image location in stead of the SHARE-link).

It seems not... There are more arcade games from this era where you are limited to just one bonus life (the Pac-Man family is an example). I love to get more bonus lives though, just as in Millipede. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 26700. Slight improvement , @therealbountybob labarynthitis is real, and it's horrible. My 600xl looks 'orrible on the big telly 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmavision2000 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) it's not a huge improvement but it's still an improvement regardless. EDIT: Okay, now THIS is an improvement!

MagicMarc-er Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 So excited to remember to participate in this for the first time ever (and thanks for allowing late Joust scores even though mine is not very good). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I have no idea what went wrong with my 68400 screenshot. Sigh. It seems to be slightly incompatible. Let me try one more time. If it fails, then I will go the old fashioned way with uploading jpg's (which I actually find quite annoying, that is why I try this...) This should do it.... I keep my fingers crossed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Small improvement at the bottom of the ladder: 38200 pts, reached level 3:2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I don't know what the deal is with this game, but it seems that the more I practice, the WORSE I get. ? Maybe trying to take too many chances in pursuit of higher score?

I'ts a tricky call when programming a game as some are ruined for the champ players e.g. pooyan becomes too easy but Millipede is spot on and you go into survivall mode to get to the next man. 16 hours ago, mimo said: 26700.
