ClassicGMR Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 29,800Was never good at this game. Love playing it... can't score worth a damn. 1 Quote
hansolo77 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 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! Quote
ehuonder Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 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 1 Quote
GimmeClassics Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 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?GC(I've edited the High Score Table in post #1) Quote
ehuonder Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 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. Quote

rtkiii Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I'm glad I missed out on this. I cannot even get past the 1st level most of the time Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 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!GC Quote
rtkiii Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 You guys are insane good. I got to the 2nd level Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 It's all about practice! Something I need for Galaga Keep up the good work Rtkiii Thank you for being so enthusiastic about our Hi-score Competition ! It really motivates me creating an even better competition ! Thanks.GC Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 Updated OP and links. Thank you for submitting rtkiii ! Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 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. Quote
rtkiii Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I honestly...hate...this GAME! I finally started getting to Level 2-1 pretty easily and managed to get my HI to 14,300. I THOUGHT I had the Level1-1(YEAH 1-1) figured out...you know a pattern then BOOM!!!! I don't and now I cannot even get 700 points....i hate this game Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 It is well known as one of the most difficult games to master. 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 GC Quote
rtkiii Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 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 Quote
rtkiii Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Made it to 2-2!!!!! Man I am lame! I took two steps and died...fun! SOB!!!! GAME!!!!!!!!!!! New HS though 18,800...LOL...but still last LOL - alot of LOL you say????!??!?!?!? It's because I've gone MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

celly Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Dang, I totally suck at this game! 17,600 best score. Initails CEL, MAME .148u2 compiled. Quote
GimmeClassics Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 Hi Celly!It's all about practice! Something I definitely need for Galaga Keep up the good work ! Updated OP and links with new hi-score Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 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. 1 Quote
hansolo77 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 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. Used specified required settings. Reached level 2.Score: 8100Initials: HAN Quote
