Welcome to DKF!

Thanks, chaps!

I'll look into that stick for sure.

89,200 now.  Might be a while before I trouble any kill screens.

Just got my first 100k. 120809.  Still playing on a PSP so it’s got all the legitimacy of a Donald Trump presidency.  But even so, I’m chuffed.

Hey Guys. I wanted to join the community because I recently started playing daily. I use to have the original Donkey Kong arcade machine when I was a kid. I am female and am interested in beating the top female score which I understand is around 350k? Right now my top score is 85k. That is with just running the boards.

Welcome to the forum!!!!  imho This is the best classic arcade website out there and the best group of players too.  I think you'll enjoy it here.

Hi Godlessgirl!  I don't even know you.  I haven't even seen a single game of yours.   I do know one thing already though.  You can get the female record.  All you need is dedication.  If you are willing to put in the grind, you can have the record.  In fact, if you're willing to put in the grind you can get a killscreen.
I have no doubt about that.  It's all up to you, and your willingness to do so.

Welcome GodlessGirl!

To my knowledge the top female score is 333,200, held by Kayla Rose (https://go.twitch.tv/videos/50267001).  She was darn good and even attended a Kong Off or two, but I reckon she quit playing some years ago.

As Homer suggested, the score is well within your reach so long as you remain dedicated.  DK -- being the asshole game that it is -- will test your patience and dedication as much as your skill.

Best of luck.  And don't hesitate to ask any questions or jump on the streams and learn by watching others play.

Haha  I remember playing the arcade machine a ton and never making it past the initial elevator stage. I regret selling it on Craigslist

Hello from Finland. I started playing DK after watching King of Kong 10 years ago. I occasionally played couple rounds of DK when modern games bored me. Only this autumn I started playing more DK when I got better score than my brother but saddly he is now again better. Well the game is on!
