Tips: -Hold down to two ropes to go up and only one two go down. You will go a lot faster this way.

-On level 2, you can take two items up at a time by holding to two ropes.

All I can say, those who say Coleco didn't make inferior DK ports to other systems to prop up their sales, DK JR is EXHIBIT A B and C!

 

Terrible Controls, the music is even OUT of sync, and fall all the way, but if you hit the trampoline, your fine? (Note this happens cause u dare to move while grabbing 2 chains above the tramp, mind you!

I may have to sit this one out.

 

a.) I don't own the game.

 

b.) My internet has been turned off. I am 3 months behind on my bill. I am at the library using the computer.

[cparsley]

Nice excuse rgw, you just don't want to play this embarrassment of a game... Hopefully everything works out for you rgw!

[cparsley]

To try to help others thru this torture, the game is setup thusly...

 

Lvl 1 - Jungle1

Lvl 2 - Chain/Key1

Lvl 3 - Jungle2 (2nd pattern)

Lvl 4 - Trampoline1

Lvl 5 - Jungle3 (SPEED UP occurs here)

Lvl 6 - Chain/Key2

Lvl 7 - Jungle4 (Extra red guy/faster yet)

 

Haven't got past 7 to see if they put the 4th screen or left it at 3.

Good job cparsley. You've got me beat. I really don't think I'll be able to improve on my current high score.

www.videogamecritic.net rated this game with an A...

[cparsley]

Let's see what this ratings guru has to say to see if he's worth anything...

 

Tarmin C+ (dingbat)

Armor Battle D (ok, he got 1)

Auto Racing D- (definitely wrong)

Astrosmash C (buzz him again)

Buzz Bombers F (please, there is way worse games, so wrong again)

Donkey Kong D- (Was he drunk when he called DK Jr. an A)

Ice Trek D (God this guy is pissing me off)

Microsurgeon D (Iconic game and this moron rates it a D?)

Night Stalker D- (CASE IN POINT, VCS you taking this guy's word?)

Space Armada D- (AGAIN, I doubt this donk has played a INTV game)

Star Wars (Empire) D+ (looks to find a garbage can to vomit)

Tron (Maze/Solar) F (Again, shoot this guy now)

Vectron D (SOLD, this guy is a moron)

 

 

AND from his OWN writeup on DK Jr.

 

...In order to rescue his father from Mario, Junior must traverse a "vines" screen and a "locks" screen.

 

This guarantees he NEVER played this game, as they are more than just vines/locks, and describing it this way proves to me this boy doesn't know jack crap.
