Choked.
I had 3 guys @ 130k.
This game is all about getting into a groove or rhythm. As soon as it is interrupted, it is tough to get back on track.

The 7800 Version is a great port...lots of memories there...
Han. I just discovered that I had the difficulty settings wrong. Discredit this score. Thx.
I completely disagree.
Actually, the lack of patterns is one of the great things about Donkey Kong. The unpredictability of the foes really keeps you on your feet. The programmer of Donkey Kong went above and beyond other "pattern based" games. Almost all elements happen randomly.
The only way you surpass Brian Kuh territory is to practice and play. A lot. Because there is no set patterns in this brilliant masterpiece. Sharpen up your timing and reaction time and you might have a chance at a really high score.

Wow.
I thought I was going to strut in and plop this 6 figure score on the boards and take the lead!
No sir, Pluto.
Ps. I'm having a blast playing Dragon Spirit. Great shooter.
C'mon guys. Are you trying to tell me that is not awesome?
You guys are right. There isn't much chance of manoeuvring with the enormous character all built up with strength.
So what I try to do is two things:
1. Give up on bomb targets when I sense there is no chance for me to bomb them.
2. Destroy everything as soon as possible.
That's kind of why this game has grown on me. The great sound track merged with fine graphics and massive Dragon weaponry. Your job is simple: Build your weaponry to massive proportions and destroy everything without putting yourself in impossible situations to get out of. It's challenging, but not incredibly difficult. How can you not like this game?
I've played 6 or 7 this morning and nowhere close to advancing.

I have been in and out of the GameEx arena for over 4 years now. Almost 100 games later, I still enjoy this site immensely!
Even with a fluctuation in attendance, this site proves to be resilient enough to keep trucking along.
Now, to the gaming console, Robin!!

Hey Patfx! Glad to see you could make it!
I am confident that you will be up there with a decent score in no time.
While this game seems daunting at first, it is a shooter that doesn't rely so much on maneuverability. It is really hard to dodge bullets sometimes because of the sheer size of your character. But the bullets are generally slow moving. With a little time, the gamer will eventually get somewhere on DS.
Anyhow, enough talking. Time to get a few in before work!
