Quick bit about myself. I have a dedicated Donkey Kong machine. Well, DK Jr. with a Donkey Kong PCB. I have a personal high score of 190,000. Set that probably 2 years ago (time is a funny thing, no?). I have been slacking on playing Donkey Kong since then. Just finding it awfully difficult to get motivated. That changed last night when I decided to listen to music while playing. Made the entire experience much more enjoyable.
So I wound up not beating my personal best. However, my last two games were above 100,000. Not great, but early in the night I had been averaging like 60,000. More than that though it was fun playing again and I actually look forward to playing some Donkey Kong again tonight. I'm pretty confident I can hit 200K by Thanksgiving. I know that isn't much, but I'm tired of seeing that top score of mine.

love it good luck on your future games mate. trying to play dk without some background noise is pretty much torture <Tim>

Thanks man. I don't know why I never thought of it before. I guess because I used to only be able to play in stealth mode once my kids went to sleep. But now I'm in the basement (finished) where I can have a little noise.

Yeah, I think it helps especially when you start taking games deeper. Music makes the game "feel" shorter, at least for me anyway. Drinking helps, as well. :o

Drinking helps early in the night, but not so much as the night wears on. At least for me. <Pigger>

Good stuff. I enjoy pandora or nightbot so people can pick music. I still realize i suck but i try and have a good time doing it :D

Once I hit 6+ beers, I can't do the 4+ springs at all. Always ID a long spring too late and get a bad jump. FailFish

I hear that. Last night I was actually undefeated versus the 4+ springs. I think the music let me turn off my brain and just go when I needed to. Of course, I made plenty of mistakes on the barrels and rivets to make up for it.
