Donkey Kong Junior

[Guests]

All your scores are registrated as sat on MAME, untill told otherwise..

I thought it was time we had a Donkey Kong Junior high score table here on UKVAC. There are a few of us who get stuck into this awesome game and I started playing this again today after deciding to take a break from playing Donkey Kong.

?

After managing a high score of 837,500 almost a year ago I fired the cab up earlier today.

?

It's surprising how difficult it is switching from Donkey Kong to Junior after being so familiar with it and being on the verge of a kill screen and it has to be said, this is such a different game to DK!

?

Anyhow, the best for today was 325,100

?

Alex, you know you want to!

I haven't fired up jr for a year Al, might try and do a bit of relaxing this weekend. Still no way near your level tho'

 

[Guests]

Hey Eric, it's been a long time. I think we all over played it last time and took a well needed break!

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Yes it's about time we got back into this
It's nice to join you guys on this forum and get this fired up again .
Right I will have a go later and post my score
Good or bad

Good effort Eric considering a year away from it

 

[Guests]

364,100 just now.

It's taken longer than expected to figure out the chains again but I've almost got it now, looking for at least 500k next time. Love this game.....love it!

 

[Hurray Banana]

Nice Al you're shaming my current effort. Gonna have a few goes once the missus starts watching call the midwife

 

[Guests]

At least we only have to contend with 80 boards with Junior compared to 116 on DK Eric!!

Get stuck in old bean!

I think the main hurdle for me apart from much more practise is the chain lvl
second time round it becomes very busy and you really have to be in the matrix to foresee what is going on.
I always seem to try and wipe-out as many snappers as I can on the first chain,if it doesn't happen I struggle to organise a plan b.
If you know what I mean

Nice score Al....Is that 193k your high score saved?

The chain level is pretty tough Al and the hardest level without any question. Level 4 onwards the snappers are on speed. The other problem is there's only just enough space to allow junior between the birds, if you are sat a pixel two high/low, you'll get hit. Some people use patterns, for example some guys push the keys up from left to right, some go from right to left (I used to) but to be realistic, which ever way you go, be ready to switch chains quickly and like you said if you can hit snappers for points is great, but they respawn from level 4 anyhow.

I've just jacked in for the night at a paltry 95,000

. Seem to be just making loads of stupid ass mistakes.

enjoying the music tho' now can't get it out of my head.

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

That's my top score mate

I do always have a pattern but as with this game it doesn't always go to plan
That pixel perfect positioning and re spawning sounds eye boggling
So want to crack the 200,000 mark

 

[Guests]

Not good Eric, we all get that and it's mighty frustrating

If you get stressed out Alex drop down to the bottom 3/4's of the chains and hang out there and wait. After 10 birds are released there's a massive gap, then go for it!

Nothing wrong with 190k anyhow....but you're capable of more, you played well at my place.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Won't get to play till Tuesday now as all machines covered up while electrician fits some extra sockets on Tuesday (hopefully). got to get in the mood for this.

 

[Guests]

Me too Eric....no play until Friday

Extra sockets sounds like extra cabs!?

Good to see we're back on the Junior train though!

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

144200 tonight so far
Had all my life's up to the bird lvl
What you want is the light gun to shoot the birds at this lvl

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Great idea to have the score table presented like that
Thanks Al
But you haven't put my highest score up of 193,900
