Vocelli Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) ~ WEEK 23 ~ ~ Bad Monkeys ~ Congo Bongo and King Kong CLARIFICATION: No use of CHEATS, emulation advantages, bugs, cart frying or other variables that gives you an unfair advantage is allowed in this HSC. Before you even consider using such non-sense a PM must be sent to me, the Moderator, to ask for clarification on any such advantage or rules and if any of the above variables are allowed. So assume you cannot use any of the above variables to play in the 2600 HSC until you are given authorization to do so by me, your humble yet strict MODERATOR! Congo Bongo Released By: Sega Left Difficulty: B Right Difficulty: B Game Mode: Game 1 King Kong Released By: Tigervision Left Difficulty: B Right Difficulty: B Game Mode: Game 1 Post your scores right here in this thread, and I will add them to the list. Remember to play the game with the recommended game mode and difficulty settings as shown above so that your scores will be consistent with everyone else. The deadline for posting scores is Midnight the evening of October 20, 2013 NOTE: PLEASE READ! Bad Monkeys Final Scoring Post a score on both games You will be ranked 25 down to 1 after the deadline just like normal on both games separately. (1st =25, 2nd = 24 points and so on…) BUT only your highest finish (ranking) will count. Finishing 1st on Congo Bongo and 2nd on King Kong gets you 25 points. If you finish 3rd in Congo Bongo and 10th in King Kong then you will get the 23 points for Congo Bongo because that was a better finish for you. So you will only receive ranking points from EITHER Congo Bongo or King Kong. UNLESS… ( here comes the fun part, I think AND the BONUS.) Bonus If you get the same ranking points on both games then you get BOTH points! So finish first on BOTH games gets you 50 Points! Finish in 3rd on BOTH games gets you 46 points. If you happen to get 1 point on both games, by finishing 25th or lower on both games then you get 2 points. Get it…. Good.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Do we have to post scores for both games each time or can they be posted separately? I'm sure they can be posted separately. Problem is, if you end the round with two very different perfomances (very good in one and bad in another game), you won't reach same rank in both games and won't get double points... This is a very interesting bonus but also very difficult to know where you're gonna finish in the end of week... I'm not sure if I should go for the fun, playing, posting and hoping to get the 1st place on both games or if should wait until the very end of round. Maybe a last minute score with 5th place would be much better than a failed 1st place try... This bonus gives me the dilema: simple fun or try the championship... I think I won't resist posting my scores and trying 1st place... Not a good strategy but it's the best way to enjoy the tourney, fun above ranking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Congo Bongo - 24,740 I've played a lot of fun Atari games in my day. This ain't one of them. King Kong - 1405 This one ain't, either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Congo Bongo (I had this game when I was a kid--well, I still have it, actually. I remember my parents got a kick out of it.) 45,450 King Kong (I've never played this game before. I didn't miss out on much, LOL.) 1,380 Congo Bongo is very unforgiving at times. Jumps have to be precisely executed or you'll take a step and die or jump in a bad direction. King Kong, on the other hand, is very forgiving. Several times I didn't think I cleared a bomb on my jump but the game gave it to me anyway. What's tricky about that game is anticipating whether bombs will drop down ladders and gaps or not.

Gorfy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 just getting on the board for now, although I'm not sure I'll get much further with these games. King Kong: 550 It took me entirely too long to get this score. Congo Bongo: 3,030 HuH Guess I'll have to read the manual. I feel like I need to take remedial classes in classic gaming after these two zingers. Fortunately, I'm not required to videotape my ineptitude....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I'm not required to videotape my ineptitude....... It's interesting you're not good at platform games. Since I know you have very good reflexes, I would say: Do not try to press buttons at the right time. You're very good at judging the right time and reacting at things fast. When it doesn't work, try another way. In Congo Bongo, I walk jump and die. Then I don't insist in my reflexes. I experiment another distance and do a leap of faith, I try to jump from places I would consider wrong. If it works, I go like planned and forget my reflexes. Just experiment, check what works and follow plans. That's what Im doing in Tower Toppler! I die countless of times doing what should be the right jump. Then I try another one, even when I think it shouldn't work. When it works, I mechanicly repeat, forgeting my reflexes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 King Kong - 2410 The more playable of the two, but it's easy to not be worst when the bar is set this low. I didn't initially realize that 'Bad Monkeys' was a literal description of the games. Okay, that's all of my commentary on the quality of the games. On to making the best of it. .

S.BAZ Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Congo Bongo 45190 King Kong 1265 I really actually enjoy Congo Bongo. I understand the frustrating awkwardness, but I have to give it some props, SEGA's attempts at 3D back then weren't too bad, and I always appreciate a music soundtrack. I also get a kick out of the fact that the creator/s put that torch scene in there. but I agree KK is really bad, and a blatant crappy attempt at a DK ripoff. not as good as Fast Eddie. however, I still rank it above Coco Nuts. and maybe just barely above Wabbit. I am also going to just try for the best scores I can get. It's just to iffy trying to wait, how will I know what other people will post? but maybe as the week progresses, I will change up my strategy if I'm ranking low in one of the games...

Scrabbler15 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Congo Bongo - 61,000 I went to get my camera, and by the time I got back, the game had started over without me (taking my high score with it.) It was actually 61,000 and change, so I'll take the 61,000 even. I did a test on the following game, and sure enough, it started without me, again. This video game doesn't like to wait around; it really wants to be played. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
