Kong Rock

[Weehawk]

<Personal note> Last September I moved back to Texas after several years in California. Just got my DK Forum t-shirts out of storage, so let's have some fun.

Below is a list of brief intros from 26 pop songs form the Golden Era of arcade games (roughly defined by me as 1978-1984  everybody else).

For the first person that can identify all 26 songs, title and artist, who does not already have one, I have a DK Forum t-shirt:



If you already have one, and if Amazon delivers to your location, you may choose a reasonably priced Donkey Kong themed t-shirt in lieu from Amazon.

You may post your guesses to the thread and I will tell you how many are correct, but not which ones.  You may guess as many times as you like, but wait for me to respond to your previous guess before you try again.

If nobody gets all 26 correct in a single post by Sunday March 4, the winner will be whoever got the most correct in a single post, ties broken by earlier post winning.

18. Oxycoden- Rush Limbaugh 

Very amusing.

OT: Just got around to watching your Sky Skipper inp at MARP. You really got that last level down pat. Too bad it never changes. Not much fun for competition this way.

Originally I thought the last level was sort of a quasikillscreen, and that you were guaranteed to die at least once per level.  Then I saw how Dalar made it to "board 13."  I never did watch Dalar's .inp, but I realized that he found a way past the last level without dying.  So I set out to find a way as well.  To be honest, I am curious if he uses the same technique as me, or if went another way to get his score.

Ohhhh...I'm sorry. #16 is Synchronicity II.

Just kidding. And #13 is by Big Country.

Close enough. PM me your address and size. (S,M,L,XL)

Maybe I should have required at least one previous forum post for eligibility...and prohibited any connection to TAMU.
