Cynicaster Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Looks like the RNG wanted it to be a Nintendo round. I imagine these games won't be new to anybody. I haven't played DK in a while, hope I'm not too rusty. Don't forget - following this round, we will have the 2nd scheduled redemption round with the same basic rules as the first. Following that will be the final round of the competition, which will consist of (4) games. CYN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but this is probably my first time playing honest-to-God arcade Donkey Kong. I've played the NES version via the Wii store, the 2600 version and Crazy Kong which is almost a straight rip of the original. What I've learned so far? It's brutal. No wonder it's so highly contested for high scores -- doing well is a remarkable achievement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Ugh... what you guys call "improvable scores" runs laps around my (probably all time) best effort ? I think I can figure this thing out over the next few days and get a score bump. Donkey Kong -- 74,800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Excitebike -- 117,440 The initials were blinking and my timing was wrong with the screenshot capture. If you stare at that blank space in the #1 spot long enough, it may say "M.S" again. No promises though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 301,500 I almost bailed on this run because at about 155k I died multiple times in quick succession and was down to my last life. Ended up almost doubling that score with my final guy... that never happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
