VFVL S2 - Game 2 - DONKEY KONG - Dec 3 to Dec 17

Postby The Evener » Sat Dec 03, 2016 9:37 am

The results are in! Jasonec was a late arrival during the competition, and he claims high score for DK! There are a lot of great Kong players in the VFVL league -- would be fun to see them slug it out again next season!

With Points awarded according to the 3, 2, 1 points per five places.

Final Scoreboard (as of 17 December 2016):

jasonec - 451200 - 3 pts - (1st place)
HPR Pinball - 260400 - 3pts - (2nd place)
Newfie - 229700 - 3pts - (3rd place)
Toeckeder - 104600 - 3pts

Season standings will be updated in the Scoreboard thread.

For those VFVL players who didn't have the chance to submit a score before closing, feel free to post a score today (Sunday) if you'd like to qualify for 1 point in the standings. Even if your score surpasses someone in the 2 or 3 point range, you'll receive 1 point, but serve notice that next time around, it's on!

Next round we move from a carpenter to a clown - Mr. Do! is up next!


GYRUSS has reached Earth! Or more accurately, that game's competition has come to a close.

Which brings us to the launch of the second game for season 2 of the VFVL:

That's right, we're going back to a simpler time, before Mario, Bowser, and Princess Peach ruled Nintendo - back to when the world was introduced to a carpenter named Jumpman, a damsel called Pauline, and a barrel-loving ape almost as big as King Kong.

Back in 1981 it was just a fun game, but it now DK has an outsized role in gamer culture thanks to Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe, and the film "King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters." The annual Kong-Offs (last year held at ReplayFX) have also turned DK into a premier game for high score achievement.

Now it's our turn.

Game Settings:
Start: 3 Jumpmen
Extra life: 10000
Difficulty: Easy (not found on original PCB)
Speed: Normal (not found on original PCB)

Post your high scores, post your kill screens.

That's not a terrible score on DK - it's more than what most players get.
DK is a game that is very different than most arcades, so most people hit a ceiling on stage 3. The trick is to play it like it's an NES platformer, and suddenly you'll be getting hundreds of thousands of points ;-)

I just emerged from downstairs after a few games of DK -- nice break from shovelling snow. :D

Damn.......I sort of almost wish I participated in this round. I could totally blow that high score out of the water ;-)

A higher score? That's exactly the kind of gamer the League needs!

Saturday is still a few days off, 'cause talk is "inexpensive," after all :wink:

Damn. I should have kept my mouth shut.
Realistically, I won't have any time to myself these next few weeks due to the holidays. I've actually had to use Microsoft Project to plan my tasks down to the hour from the beginning of this week until New Years.
But in good fun, in the New Year, I'll record one of my DK plays and post it here.....I'm fairly confident it will be impressive :D

All right people, we're staring down less than 24 hours before this round of DK is consigned to the history books for Season 2!

Take some time during the snow storm tomorrow and jump some barrels.

Going for family dinner now so this is the best I could do: 33,900

Thanks again for getting the VFVL going again, Jason. Enjoying the challenge.

Fine. I'll play......if it's not too late to join ;-)

Got home from my step-sister's Christmas party earlier than expected and had some time.

Before any purists freak out - yes, I replaced the Sanyo CRT with a Wells Gardner LCD + flat bezel + sound amp inverter board from Mike's arcade.
I like it better in every way.
