carlsson Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If she gets to watch a few screens before so she gets an idea what to do, it might help. In my case I haven't yet got past level 3-2 but one day I will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 No luck on the kid front but a great new score for me: 134700 My first time to L5! Hit stupid fireball on ledge above where I was jumping. I hate that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Donkey Kong: 88,600 Some improvement in level 4. Seem to get my best score on the first or second try in a play session then go down hill. Maybe need to try playing every couple hours 1 game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Your son did some very fast progress, from 2700 via 8100 to 18500. Soon he'll catch up on me (and you). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'd assume I had access to one or both versions of Donkey Kong on the C64 as a teenager, but I never wrote down a personal best on that game. Probably I didn't find it very enjoyable and preferred a hundred other games. Thus I can't compare my 40++ year self with my 15 year self on this particular game. For many other entries though, I'd say nowadays I'm nowhere near my (still mediocre) PB:s set as a 14 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 42900 pts (level 3-3) which equals a new personal best and for the first time I cleared 3-2 and was extremely close to clearing 3-3. At least I'm fending off most 10 year olds by this score. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 From what I gather, currently the average top score is 71767 pts counting all 18 (including Sikor's son) participants, compared to the median score of 55550 pts. If McKong's "get all items" score is used instead, the average is 63278 pts which still is over the median. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I've been limiting myself to playing one complete game...which takes me quite a long time because I restart if I don't make it to level 3 before losing a life. Very frustrating (but fun) game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fres Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Finally got a usable 8-bit setup in working order again... 76200 on DK. Figured i'd give it a go on this old thing too, but it didn't turn out well after one attempt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caco Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 New season, new players. I entered the description on atarionline.pl Hej. Zostałem poproszony o reklamę kolejnego sezonu High Score Club na atariage.com Główny prowadzący therealbountybob zaprasza wszystkich - oryginalny sprzęt oraz emulatory. https://atariage.com/forums/forum/60-8-bit-high-score-club/ Zabawa jest przednia. Nawet jak nie masz czasu pilnować całej rozgrywki, to warto choć raz zagrać w tytuł, na który zagłosują forumwicze. Wiem, że kilka osób z Polski z atarionline zagląda na forum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
