Pre box protector days, I had all those higher end games in clam shells. I also have a cool place to play dk, but memorial day just didn't cooperate. Kept hoping for rain to force me back inside, but it wasn't in the cards. Was going to try to make a run toward 250,000 tonight, but im chasing a participation score at this point. Really impressive scores Haha, agreed! I feel dirty thinking about all of those carts not in box protectors! If you look closely, you'll see I kept the heavy hitters in standard game sleeves when on the shelf. Still, I feel much better about the way it's set up now. I'm trying to decide if I should just move on to Puzznic or not. @Jeevan might be disappointed though Did @skinnygrinny get lost out in the glades somewhere's looking for Bayou Billeh!?

Jeevan | 8,910 Events Helper · Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 prolly got some more rona and drank himself silly @ninjistar. Also, that's alright, im disappointed that a few more big dogs showed up and imrpoved their score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,515 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Skinny will put up a score. I think if there was a reason not to we would have seen a dejected post about memorial day beer woes. Im surprised that didn't get more people. We were supposed to get all this rain this weekend, but its been perfect. Can't complain about beer and golf with family though. Always next year for dk. Now I have to figure out if I have a copy of puzznic. Edit: No copy of puzznic. Gotta rectify that situation Edited May 24, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjistar | 517 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Score updated on page 1. I cracked 100k early in the week and haven't done much since. I may have a few runs left in me, if I can find time. Lots of great scores this week! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjistar | 517 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I gave it a final push and had my best round ever! Not that I've played a lot of Donkey Kong But it was a good one for me. SO CLOSE to my personal goal of 200k (197,000). I may give it another go, but for now, I'm out of time. I really enjoyed revisiting this game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed revisiting this game! Lol I tried to get to my personal goal of 250k after my kid went down at 9:30 est. Of course I'm a few thousand below the ninji score. I left so much on the table with this. I'm not even sure which part of the game I'm bad at because all my deaths were just stupid careless mistakes. 300k is so doable if I had a real block of time. And it finally now just started raining here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been playing all day and was able to push my score up to 609,100. I thought I might have been able to get it higher, but that's the best I had after about a dozen attempts.

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Whoa I think I misread that and Bert actually won by 200 points! 602,300 vs 602,100...the equivalent of two regular (not ladder glitch) barrel jumps. Well done guys that’s as close as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have gotten in almost two dozen attempts since I got the 602,100 and was only able to improve my score by 7000, so we must have really been pushing the limit.

I'm too tired to go back through all the scores, but it's going to be interesting to see the final leaderboard. If Tom would have counted his score, there would have been four players over 500k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, i appreciate the level playing field you and casual got me there tbh, you two are the real champs behind my score Edit: shoutout to @ninjistar for keeping me into this as well with the banter and talk outside of here Edited May 25, 2020 by Jeevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guillavoie | 1,208 Events Team · Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Another great week for the NES Weekly Contest, and @Bearcat-Doug managed to finish 1st with a final score posted with only a few seconds left on the clock! @bertsampson tried to upset him earlier today by posting a score of 602,300, which was just enough to top Doug's earlier score by 200 points.This has also stop @Kid Dracula winning streak to 3 consecutive wins, but the Drac Kid still resume on his stunning performance with a solid 3rd place and a score over the 500k mark! Not too far away was @Jeevan who build up his score throughout the week and posted a terrific score of 459,200, with @0xDEAFC0DE following closely at 440,400. Let's also mention the honorable efforts of @TWarwick07 with 366,000 and @CasualCart who not only delighted us with 3 art posts in the thread, but also with a slick score of 337,000! Thanks to everyone livening up the contest threads and see you all for the Puzznic week! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
