So you need to hammer at least 2 enemies to about break even. I find on the second level (blue metal) if you grab the hammer without 2 enemies around you can lose points. To make it worth the risk I think you need to hammer >=3 enemies. With one hammer - I got 13 of then on the pie screen (including pies as enemies) @Rogerpoco excellent post above I guess for anyone who played the arcade version this one might be a bit quirky! - there is the recentish DK arcade we will probably play that one next time we feel the need to keep it interesting. Yes Ski-It is one of my games. I'm hoping to resurrect my [assembler project] it's been on hold for 2 years project soon as I have half a game in limbo. Now let's see how the Round 2 polling is going... Edited February 3, 2022 by therealbountybob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariSphinx Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Tried to break 100k but no luck. However I finally understand why Jumpman/Mario after dealing with these frustrating levels resorted to capturing Donkey Kong and designing a yet more frustrating course to watch Donkey Kong jr deal with.

+therealbountybob Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) * If you missed this first round llate scores are accepted Somehow I held on for the win on round 1 with deteacher in runner up spot and the usual suspects making up the top 5 places, thanks for so many of you playing, 32 of us as I type. Special thanks to those lower down the table, you are just as important, even if it's one go with a bad eye, much appreciated I could play DK for another week, really enjoyed playing it collecting everything, less frustrating than trying to get through the levels quickly. We'lll probably pick up a few late scores so the points may change slightly before the end of the 2nd round, talking of which let's get that show on the road or possibly underground?!! final tables * same scoring system as usual and keeping the bonus point for the top player on NTSC system 1st therealbountybob 161,000 12pts 2nd deteacher 155,300 12pts # 2.5th errrrik 154,600 11pts 3rd 8BIT 1337 141,300 10pts 4th McKong 137,800 9pts 5th graywest 112,200 9pts 6th Gury 108,700 9pts 7th AtariSphinx 90,900 9pts 7.5th littleman jack 84,100 8pts 8th thank you 80,900 8pts 9th Fres 76,200 8pts 10th MichG 72,900 8pts 11th tompateus 69,800 8pts 12th Cafeman 68,900 7pts 13th jblenkle 67,300 7pts 14th Rogerpoco 67,100 7pts 15th Atari8guy 62,900 7pts 16th Gazzabass 59,900 6pts 17th Caco 51,600 6pts 18th MagicMarc-er 48,400 6pts 19th pusakat 46,200 6pts 20th carlsson 45,500 5pts 21st Sikor 38,700 5pts 22nd Shawn Jefferson 38,300 5pts 23rd devwebcl 34,300 4pts 24th NIKON 31,900 4pts 25th chevymad 24,400 4pts 26th Benighted 23,800 3pts 27th RedThunder 20,100 3pts 28th Piotrus 18,500 3pts 29th BoatofCar 18,100 2pts 30th roadrunner 17,400 2pts 31st slx 13,100 2pts 32nd Alicja (Caco Jr) 6,400 2pts McKong set a new HSC record 248,100 on standard play (not collecting everything) in the old days I'd give him a bonus point but where's the fun in that I ask you?!!! * If you missed this first round late scores are accepted Edited April 16, 2022 by therealbountybob late scores welcome for anyone who missed the round 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
