But, is that including saving games and restarting from a good score ?
-
afaik you can do that in Wolfmame....
and, i put your score in the "allow hammer scores"... hope it´s ok... :)
-
But, is that including saving games and restarting from a good score ?
nope, its even verified by twingalaxies, the image is from theyre website ;)
its the mame version allowed by them, no pause possible
@muerto: sure, in anotherway you'll need too many categories
i mean people can read right , and DK = DK 8)
the only difference is i am using the japan romset (wich have the IMHO "normal" level sequence)

My top score on DK is 284,200, which I achieved about a year ago (May 29th 2009). Sadly I don't have a recording or picture to prove it anymore, I had a picture on my old webspace but apparently I didn't save it anywhere else... ???
Haven't played it regularly in the last year but I'm working on it again...
-
.... Sadly I don't have a recording or picture to prove it anymore, I had a picture on my old webspace but apparently I didn't save it anywhere else... ???
I got to the kill screen a few times. Unfortunately no picture or recording of it. Thought it wasn't a great deal until I saw the KoK documentary. Have been planning to do it again since then, but unfortunately no time for it. ;)
-
Heh, I'm pretty sure there have been a good number of people who reached the killscreen "back in the day" or more recently and who went "what the hell" at the game and just quit or whatever because they didn't know what happened or its significance. I think the King of Kong was an eye-opener for a lot of gamers and has certainly revived interested in the classics, and especially DK. For example, Hank Chien, the new DK arcade world record holder (<boast> who I had the pleasure of meeting a few months ago </boast>) got (back) into DK because of the King of Kong.
Anyway, I think that if you have the ability to get a killscreen/million points in DK, you should definitely go for it. I hope you can take some time for it. :)
-
hehe..
I think Ckong is joking with you ;)
however, Steve Wiebe reached the Kill screen in his early days playing DK, but he though that there was something wrong with his machine, så he just let it go....!!!!!
-
hehe..
I think Ckong is joking with you ;)
YGM, :D
-
Hey, it's plausible. As I said, I think there are more than a few people who had that happen before it was widely known what it was. I've read about a couple, at least.
Also, huge news: Dean Saglio has scored 1,136,400 on DK in MAME. Go to the CAGDC forum thread (http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/forums/index.php/topic,2603.0.html) for more information and a link to the video.

Hank Chien reclaims Donkey Kong high score
(http://www.twingalaxies.com/images/generalinfo/rsz_2img_5212.jpg)
If you can say anything about Hank Chien, it’s that he evidently doesn’t take defeat
very well. Sure, he knew not so deep down that his Donkey Kong World Record score
wouldn’t last forever, but he couldn’t have foreseen that it would have been toppled
so quickly. Twice, even. But he also knew that more Kong competition would be coming
his way; namely Richie Knucklez Kong-Off in March.
So Hank had something to prove, and prove he did. Scoring a massive 1,068,000 points
in less than three hours, Hank has officially reclaimed the high score in Nintendo’s 1981
arcade classic. We took a second to catch up with Hank to see what’s what in all things
Jumpman.
First off, Hank, congratulations on reclaiming the title belt. How does it feel to get it, lose
it to Billy Mitchell, only to have that beaten by Steve Wiebe, and then reclaim it? Was it
harder this time?
Thank you! I was obviously very excited to claim the title the first time. However, I knew
it was only a matter of time before Billy Mitchell or Steve Wiebe reclaimed it. However I
did not expect it to happen on my birthday! Yes, Billy Mitchell's score was announced on
my birthday. I also knew Steve Wiebe was trying over the summer but heard he was
having some vertigo issues. When the summer was over, I thought the vertigo had gotten
the best of him and was surprised when it was announced in September. I knew the score
was still within my reach. Although I was excited to reclaim it, nothing beats the first time!
Of course it was harder this time, however I have gotten better since last time so relatively
speaking it was a bit easier.
How long did the record attempt take?
The attempt itself took 2 hours and 45 minutes. It was my 2nd attempt of the day.
Wow, only the second? What kind of preparation did it take, then? Did you approach things
differently since doing it the first time?
I actually had not been playing much during the several months prior. However, there is a
Donkey Kong competition coming up, "The Kong Off", which is being organized by Billy Mitchell
and Richie Knucklez. A lot of players started playing again in preparation, so I started to play
myself to try to get back in shape. My approach was very similar to last time. I played more
aggressively in the beginning to put my pace well above the world record score and then played
more conservatively towards the end of the game. The score is getting high enough now that
you will have to play fairly aggressively all the way through the game to get the world record.
If the score is pushed up much higher, I will have to revamp my playing style next time for a
higher risk/higher reward.
So you’re planning on attending the "Kong-Off" in New Jersey in March?
Yes, I'm very excited about the "Kong-Off" in March. It will be the first time all the former
Donkey Kong world record holders will be under one roof along with some of the world's best
players. It's also the first Donkey Kong competition I'm aware of that has attracted such
high caliber participants. I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow players, sharing tips and
watching varying styles of play.
On that note -and you know that I was going to ask you this- but you do realize that you're
a three-way melee for the top honors for this game. Are you practicing still in case either
Wiebe or Mitchell (or a new comer) overturns this in the next few months?
Like last time, I know it will only be a matter of time before Steve Wiebe, Billy Mitchell or
another competitor beats my score. I will be practicing, but it's a fine balance between
staying in shape and getting burned out. I think breaks are a necessary part of training
much like training for a marathon. I don't think I will hold the title forever, but it is fun to
see "How High Can You Get?"
We know that there must be a maximum score for Kong. Do you think that it's the next
great challenge?
There is definitely a maximum score for Donkey Kong. However, the game is so complex
and there are so many ways to play the game, I don't think anybody has figured out
exactly was that score is. In fact I don't think anybody has even figured out the maximum
score for the first board! Since there is so much randomness and luck involved no one will
ever get the maximum score. I know that the current score still has much room for
improvement, so it is likely that this back and forth will continue for a while longer.
Any words of encouragement for the new Donkey Kong competitors out there?
There has definitely been a lot of interest in this game recently with all the back and
forth. For all the new competitors out there, keep practicing and good luck!

I got my copy of Steve's world record dvd (which isn't a world record anymore :shock: ) today, and he added a personal message on the DVD. (just: 'to Erik, Steve Wiebe', but still it's a personal message)
Now I have to get one from Hank! ;)
-
Hank reclaimed the title on my Birthday.... nice!

New DK record.... again!
Set by Hank Chien.... Again!
The WR is now 1,090,400!!!
Also there´s a doku comming...: (From TG)
Rich: You’ve got a film coming to market soon. Tell us about that.
The film is called Doctor Kong. It is a short documentary that provides a glimpse into my life before, during and after the first time I broke the Donkey Kong world record.
I met Alexis Neophytides, a filmmaker, at Barcade in Brooklyn around March 2009. After a few months I got to know her pretty well and she asked if she could make a documentary about me. I’m not sure if it was coincidental, but it was around the time I felt the world record was within my grasp. The first scene was shot in November 2009 at Funspot. Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t able to do it in November, but she said it was fortunate for her film as it would have been “the shortest documentary ever.”
The film is a completely drama free and tells a very positive story. In fact, I would classify it as a feel good comedy. She already had her first screening and it was warmly received. She is going to have future screenings at various film festivals and gaming events. Screenings are already planned at the Kong Off, the Midwest Gaming Classic, and Funspot 13.

can't wait to see this one! Hell yeah :)

".... I'm playing DK so that I can get laid ...." :shock:
Oh man, he acts and looks like a loser. Too bad. And one of the worst trailers I've ever seen.
Doctor Kong! Who made that up? Someone without any imagination nor marketing skills.
But of course the new world record still is a great achievement.
-
well , he is a doctor, so that explanes doctor kong 8)

yeah I know that he is a doctor, but ...... doctor Kong ??? :? :roll:

I find it funny he's a plastic surgeon. I mean, those guys probably need very good eye-hand coordination for their work already, so in a way it's only "logical" that he's so good at Kong....
The other way around, he's probably a great plastic surgeon if he has such good eye-hand coordination to be the WR holder of Kong..... :D :D :D

Please scroll to place 52 in the world! Christer Kristensson. Got a higher score two months before but that was an unofficial score unfortunately. Only 8000p more though.
860300 with killscreen it is!
