No, not really. There are lots of “tactics” and “guidelines” that will help you succeed at Donkey Kong, but there are no fixed patterns that guarantee survival like there are in, say, Pac-Man. Donke

Going by Matt is just fine with me. I got another score, on the day after that last one. This time it was quite the opposite progression: I started with what seemed like a pretty mediocre game, wit

I tried long and I tried hard - in fact played not much of a game except DK during the holidays. So I was stuck with scores somewhere in the 30k region when all of a sudden things went well for me and

Heh I tried playing this earlier today, I can't even make it past the first level. I remember playing this on my old Atari 800 and I could get to stage 3 no problem. I'm way out of practice!

This is one of my favorite games!!! I'd like to say that it took me a while to get back into it, but this is one that I usually fire up whenever my cabinet is turned on... 74,500

Welcome to our Hi-Score Competion. Glad you've joined :)

Nice Donkey Kong score! Gives me something to aim at :) It's also one of my favorite games!

Question: looking at your screenshot you have a very nice bezel: left / rigt / top and bottom! Please tell me how you did this ;) What GameEx / Mame settings do I have to use and where did you get this bezel?

On my older arcade games, which are the ones I play the most, I do add the full bezel. It does shrink the play area, and sometimes hides portions of the screen (e.g. asteroids), but I still prefer it. I have downloaded all of my bezels from Mr.Do's Arcade - http://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork_ingame.php?p=4#here. I have Mame setup to use the bezels. I'll have to look up how I have done it, and edit this post. It's been too long since I set it up, and I'm not at my arcade machine now.

EDIT: It looks like I've configured it with MAMEUI32. In the games properties popup, in the Miscellaneous tab, I have the Artwork set to have backdrops, bezels, & overlays on. This along with having the dkong.zip artwork file from Mr.Do's Arcade in the MAMEUI32/artwork folder.

Hi Rtkiii.

Still open for submitting. You don't have to submit a no.1 hi-score ! Every hi-score is welcome!

Han and me are discussing about a leaderboard and scoring-system. So there is a pretty good chance you will be awarded points when you have a top 5 hi-score position on a game :) Donkey Kong included!

When I started out playing Donkey Kong I really sucked at it but it's all about trial & error :)

Happy hi-scoring!

Once I'm done updating my system and getting the new version of GameEx, I'm gonna try my hand at this game again. I just noticed I haven't posted a score yet, so it'll be fun to try it.

It is well known as one of the most difficult games to master. :wacko:

But I like it very much because it's a real challenge. You really have to push your skills to the limit :)

Just keep practicing and you will get better and better ! It worked for me -_-

I noticed you haven't submitted your new hi-score of 14,300 ? Please add a screenshot and I'll update the OP and the links :)

BLAH!!!!! I think something should be challenging but it just changes too much for me. Sometimes I get on a role and get a couple of 12k-14k games...but then I cannot break 1000....I almost beat level 2-1...so the damn keeps me wanting to beat it...but people who keep going have to be insane : :) And what is even more insane is I talk about 14k being good....look to OP...70K+...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOL

The worst part is if you suck, it takes a long time for the game to start up before you actually get to play. I hate waiting for stupid Kong to build the stage. :)

Man I don't know how you guys do it. I been playing and playing off and on and I finally get above the 4k minimum score to make it onto the game's table. Then I played more and actually got to 1st place on the game and it took out my last score. Anyway. After probably an hour's worth of playing total, the best I could come up with is around 8k. I don't know how you guys are in the +15k range. I suck. :)
