Despite the haterade by the nay sayers Donkey Kong Junior has one of the greatest top 10 score lists in all of arcade gaming.
Given how strong the competition has gotten over the past 10 years I dare say it is easily in the top 5.
Yes, a lot of the competition has been because of Donkey Kong. But still getting a 1.3 million score to make the top 10 is incredibly hard given personal experience.
As far as competition goes, it's an A plus level game.
Well said Mr. Riley.
I'm hoping that some of these "Kings of Kong" see what Justin Elliott did and decide to go for their Master rankings. Can't wait to see Mr. Tecchio playing Junior!!!

As for the scoring, I think I've proven that if you're willing to take the time to press for everything you can get, 1.3 is actually pretty easy to pull off. I'd be really interested to see what some of you guys who haven't played for a while would get using current pressing techniques. There are a slew of you guys that I think could pull off 1.4 without breaking much of a sweat if you wanted to do so.
Mr. Chambers is playing again, as is Mr. McGill. If we could get the Barrow's, Copeland's and... Riley's of the world to have a go, I think that top ten list could require a 1.4 to break into within a year or so.
For now, I'm just happy to see people playing the red-headed stepchild of Donkey Kong
