I'd love to come out of retirement and verify your DK million point game when (not if) it happens.

Also, a gluten-free diet may be a good thing, but a Wagner-free DK Data Library is an absolute travesty.

Let's rectify that flagrant miscarriage of gaming justice.

My main goal for 2015 is to wrest control of my life back from my truck driving job so I can play at least semi-regularly again.  For the past two years I've been working 6-day weeks on average, away from home for much of the week, and when I do get home I am usually too tired to play and need to use the home time for other things anyway.

But I just got a regular shuttle run that, while it will make my average work day longer (11-12 hours on average), will get me home regularly on Friday nights so I can have full weekends again.  I should be able to get home most evenings during the week once the kinks get worked out, especially after winter is over and I don't have to contend with chaining up on the mountain pass that I will be crossing four times a day.

I may not get to all of these in 2015, but that's why they're goals:

Goal:  Mario Bros. - 1M
Current Progress:  895k, where I stopped playing a year and a half ago because of work

Goal:  Congo Bongo - get actual play time on this game I've owned for 9 months now
Current Progress:  no scores logged yet

Goal:  Alpine Ski - get actual play time on this game I've owned for 9 months now
Current Progress:  no scores logged yet; need to cap the monitor first

Goal:  Black Widow - 500k
Current Progress:  362k

Goal:  Centipede - get this damned thing fixed so it doesn't go down again
Current Progress:   FailFish

Goal:  Circus Charlie - 500k
Current Progress:   218k

Goal:  Krull - New WR (current is 441k)
Current Progress:   320k, which I got four years ago, so I'll have to start over on this one

Goal:  Moon Patrol - Beat Eric Ginner's golden era record of 740k
Current Progress:   334k

Goal:  Tutankham - get this fixed; I think the power supply has burned out
Current Progress:   none yet

EA I'll be streaming live on my channel a lot.

 Kreygasm

Goal:  Elevator Action - play mine a lot more

Edit: I forgot one!

Goal:  Acquire a Pole Position upright and a Dragon's Lair running DAPHNE
Current Progress:  making room and raising cash by selling a few games

Title: Re: 2015 CAG goals
Post by: CaptainJivePants on December 22, 2014, 11:49:40 am
Donkey Kong - 500k, currently at 76k
APB - 300k, currently at 215k
The FairyLand Story - 1cc, current high level 51/101

Not sure I want to break off more than that since tournaments and trying new games always takes up a lot of time. Been playing DK at least a couple times a week (minimum once per visit to GGA or Underground Retrocade), and starting to get the hang of it. Long way to go for that KS, though!

I posted some long-term goals (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=269.msg14334#msg14334) in my blog that I've made very little progress towards...so maybe setting some 2015 goals will help light a fire under my ass.

Goal: (http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/xelnia/WdOQefshHBFknPnJBXlH_zps1ogvzlmu.gif)
Current Progress: DK - 905,700

                             DK3 - none

Current Progress: Stage 4 / 75,240

Goal: More "classic" kill screens (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug)
Current Progress: none

I am pretty narrowly focused presently.

3 million on Mario Bros. I have gone just under 1 million on one guy already.
500k on NES Tetris.

Nothing else comes to mind.

Well, 2015 currently looks like this -

1. I have a Donkey Kong to restore, so want that finished! (currently in storage)

2. I also have a Galaxian to restore and also want that finished! (currently in storage)

3. 1M on Donkey Kong would be nice, just started grabbing the bottom hammer and it's proving tough at the moment but it's a challenge!

4. I have 1M on DK Junior so a kill screen would be cool!

5. Sell my PAC-MAN and replace it with Galaxian.

6. Learn to play Galaxian......properly!  Kreygasm

Since GGA has a real Bubble Bobble, I'm dropping FairyLand Story for now and focusing on that. Both 1P and 2P. My Yolympics goal was 2M, but now I feel like I have to shoot for 3M since I got over halfway there already.
