Junior Progress

Another factor is that, when I was finishing the sparks board, I yelled to my girlfriend in the other room "there's a Donkey Kong Junior kill screen coming up... if anybody wants to watch..."

She came in to see and I immediately got more nervous.

So there might be a case for blaming her, at least in part.

I swear DK Jr and DK share some code about killing you off on the last regular board.

Yeah, no kidding. I can think of 3 times where I died on the final playable screen. And it's funny, 2 of those times I wasn't nervous at all but I may have been too cautious. Doing that when you are used to being kind of aggressive really throws off the flow of things.

I'm not sure how else to link it, John can maybe put it on youtube since he is the owner of said video but basically 1m point game, die on very last chain on New Years Eve at the closing event of Richie's old place.

While we are sharing the pain... one of my many 21-6 deaths:

Wow, Steve's is actually a lot more brutal than mine. Bigger game and people watching.

Also, I'd forgotten about the "F" badge...

I don't care how dumb it is, it's seriously incentivizing me to give this another shot.
