Due to chronic back problems and some other chronic pains i have not been able to play as much as i would like the last couple of yrs. I have been doing Physical therapy. and exercising 5 days a week. and have been eating much better ( still could be even better , but baby steps). I have been feeling much better and am very confidant i can avoid another surgery. With that being said. I have several goals in the next 2 YEARS I hope to ( plan to ) break the WR on the following games. DONKEY KONG JUNIOR. Its been to long .And i know MARKY D wants a reason to play again LOL. CONGO BONGO. ZAXXON. PHOENIX. KANGAROO( i have already did on mame. didnt turn it in that one will be easy LOL ). ken already said he can get a board. ) PANDORAS PALACE ( again for the hell of it.i already broke the WR on mame just didnt turn it in). SCRAMBLE. MOON PATROL.EXCITEBACK. There are a few others im thinking about but im no where near the ability level. With the choices right now. i already have the ability or am very very very close to the ability to break the WR.
The games i am practicing right now are. DK JR> CONGO BONGO> and ZAXXON.
My score goal for each game is.
DK JR 1,425,000( although i believe this will eventually get to 1,500,00) WR IS 1,412,2000
CONGO BONGO 2,000,000 WR IS 1,506,300
ZAXXON 5,000,000 WR IS 4,680,740
PHOENIX 1,250,000 NO current wr on twin galaxies but i know knuckles previoiusly had 1,050 something.
KANGAROO. 4,000,000 WR IS 921,800 ( screwing around i have beaten this on my first man LOL )
PANDORAS PALACE 10,000,000 WR IS No current WR on TG. But on cgac its 4,650,000 ( i got 5 million and quit with 25 men left LOL )
SCRAMBLE 2,000,000 WR IS 1,147,850
EXCITEBIKE 5,000,000 WR IS 3,644,445
MOON PATROL 2,000,000 WR IS 1,1414,660
I have done some calculating on DK JR. and have adjusted my play accordingly to be able to get just enough to break the WR. and i will adjust my play each time marky d beats it. Instead of banging my head and trying to go for a monster score. plus i think it will be funner to go back and forth with marky d . and hopefully more enjoyable for the viewers.
I have in the last week figured out many many small things on CONGO BONGO. recently smashing my PB with 558 k ( 551 on first man . EPIC KASPER MELTDOWN). As far as i know this game has no kill screen so i have adjusted play to clear levels with only safe pressing. I sat and watched the coconuts for about an hr. and noticed several configurations to go on. also can beleive it took so long but you can jump each snake long ways while its standing still.( only for use when timer gets down though and have to hurry ). On the snakes as long as two snakes are on a connecting log a third will not go on even the red snake. so at the top you can just sit and wait till you have an opening to jump onto the hippo( no KS so just wait and make sure you dont die. ). On the rhinos. from level 6 on there is a specific opening pattern for safety. I now use everytime.I am very close on this game now. just need to cut down stupid mistakes and be more patient.
Zaxxon , the only issue has been and for pretty much everyone is the planes. I had been for a long time banging my head against the wall trying to pattern them . If there is a specific pattern for each configuration. I cant figure it out ( and im pretty good at this patterning thing LOL ). Today though i changed my thinking. and instead just tried to figure out a better strategy to attack them . and I figured out something that works. now i just need to sharpen my play , cut down on stupid mistakes.
Tommorow i will be a little more speicific on the dk jr changes and the zaxxon strategy and my congo bongo play.
ENJOY> MIKE KASPER.
