DK Arcade impressions thread & Unofficial High Score Competition


Rev

Recommended Posts

gameforyourintellivision: Seriously....Rev....what do you think of the quality of the 'cart only' and instructions for DK Arcade?

 

 

 

Since a few of us have started to receive the updated DK Arcade cart release. We can post our impressions in here. I started playing mine today and will play more tonight. So far it is great...and so was the Donkey Kong Arcade release by Intelligentvision, maybe we can call this Super Pro DKA. :grin: . The voices are nice. Nice label, Instructions are cool. :thumbsup: I will try to upload a gameplay to YT soon.

 

 

 

Also post your high score of DK Arcade. (both versions. Elektrolite or Intelligentvision...just specify!!!)

Love the gameplay, and the digitized sounds, and I am one of the "lucky" ones that has to use the 30 FPS mode on my Vizio... but I am grateful its there !! :D

 

And Rev - hi score competition ? 22300 in my first day, and that's with Bruno :)

 

Yeah, we should use this as an 'unofficial high score competition' thread as well. snap a pic of your next high score and I will too..or if its too much trouble just tell us. :P

Don't worry about the 30 FPS mode… The graphics are still being updated as fast as your TV will allow… It's just that there is going to be more flicker for objects that multiplex… But much better than been disappearing altogether! ;-)

 

Don't forget to specify Game 1 or Game 2 when listing your high score… And of course, the character you played as. :-)

 

And preferably, call it D1K to differentiate it from the original intelligentvision release

Rev, it is called ElektroNite.....not 'LITE" :-)

 

LOL....oops...I would say it was a typo...but the N is a little far from the L on the keyboard. :grin:

 

 

Btw.....I cant hardly play with the kid hogging the controller! :) He keeps hitting the buttons and not using the disc...silly kid!

Wow, Outlaw! I am sorry to hear that you had to 30fps it. It works fine on my HD TV......I wonder how many people will hit that strange television problem.

 

Not sure, my TV is a 26" Vizio..I will try it on my other TV's a see if it does it on them as well

Hey, I'm pretty sure 7600 is the default score for Game 1… You didn't even beat it. ;-) Don't give up! :-)

 

Really?...I have been playing without taking pics and paying attention. All of my score so far have been in the 5k to 7k range anyway.....Tonight I will beat it!!! I am sure I have to be better than intellivisiondude..... :grin: :grin: :grin: Im off to play some more.....

7600-Mario-Game 1-Elektonite

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure it was your son that got this score, not you. I'm fairly certain you lost to a two year old child. :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

 

 

You may be right!

Last one for a while, and hang in there Rev, I'm sure he can give you some pointers ! :grin:

 

And I am really liking game 2

 

I can't remember what I got, but I'm pretty sure that score is huge. :thumbsup: Nicely done OT71 (I've just made that the new shortened version of your name. Lol!)

Here we go, with my humble high score.

As for the game, it shocked me into wakefulness immediately. This is HARD... but fair. You have to keep your wits about you and try to watch the whole screen at once. The timing on the screen where DK throws girders seems a bit random to get up the final ladder, but I am still in an adjustment period.

 

Toni's the most fun to play with for me, since his speed fits in with the difficulty of the game in general.

 

This is EXTREMELY well done; I think this is the best of the home console versions now.

Great score !! I thought the same about the girders as well.. Also the AI on the fire seems a little too good sometimes .. ;)

 

Are you using the 30 FPS mode ?
