mbd30 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'm not a fan of Donkey Kong 3 and I'm not good at it, but I'll still try to get in a score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmavision2000 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I might try this game. Is NES Online a legal emu? If it is, here's my score: Edited July 27, 2020 by Magmavision2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to try with the NES Advantage, see if it replicates the arcade. I can zip through some levels super fast in that version. 83,900 Round 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it another go the other day and I can't seem to win by more than 10 goals. The game isn't very good, hah. Better than Baseball tho, what trash, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 This game is more fun than I remembered, but still extremely repetitive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Do you realize that the Twin Galaxies high score for this game is over five million points?? His hands must have been ready to fall off after that marathon. Edited August 4, 2020 by mbd30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Tried the NES Advantage...no advantage...horrible. Back to the classic controller and I somehow beasted my last score. Maybe my hands were glad to be using the regular controller again? 230,700 Round 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
