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

Man how you get a score like? Do you just stay on the first stage and jump over barrels, or are you progressing through the stages? Whenever I play, I'm just trying to get to the next level and not really going for just a score. Probably part of my problem. :)

No I managed to get to the conveyer belt stage that time...but once I got there I used all the hammers I could because I couldn't figure out what I needed to do and I only had one guy left. Usually I try and get through the stages like normal and fast because the bonus to me you get when finishing beats using the hammers or jumping....plus you stay on the barrel stages to long the barrels get ridiculous. I have probably played this dumb game about 3-4 hours now :)

Yeah that's what I figured. I too noticed that the barrels start becoming unmanageable after about 2 or 3 minutes. I never made it (on MAME) past stage 2. I got to stage 3 on the Atari 800 once but I don't remember it very well. I guess I just need to play it more and get some practice.

Great score Rtkiii !

From 30K to 40K > you're on a good pace. Up for the 50>60>70>80K :)

@Han > about stage 2: I always begin on the left side of the stage - trying to lock the flames on the far left and then progress to the right side :)

OK... It was more than $10 (a lot more), and it took a while... But, I got on a good first man on this game, and got close to my personal best from back when I was a teenager... Maybe now I can update my cabinet with some of the newer contest games and try my luck!

But I like a challenge ;) It's going to take me some time (a.k.a. ages) to even get close !

Thanks for your hi-score submission Ehuonder !

Don't think I have yet. I got lucky with some good hammer runs on the rivets stages for that score!

Playing Donkey Kong and trying to get a good score is always a combination of skill and luck ;)
