I don't feel this post deserves it's own thread, so I'll attach it here since it is somewhat related.
I was checking out a pizza place today, and ran into one of those DK/DKJr/MB multi cabinets stashed amongst an array of "modern" games and redemption machines. I had never seen one of these cabinets before in person, but I was aware that the high-score table is retained after powering down, so I decided to play a game or two. I got a couple of bucks in change from the manager and he made a comment about that not being very much. I mentioned my near geriatric status and my interest being focused on the one machine. He replied (as if I have never played them before), "Well, you might need more change than that, those games are pretty hard". I told him that I can hold my own with those games, and mentioned that I have the highest recorded game for Junior, but I get the feeling either he didn't believe me or he thought that I was confused as to what version of Junior I was about to take on. He did however say that he has watched KoK, and does play Junior himself, stating he had made it to "Level 8" before so I don't think his reaction was simply because he didn't care. He mentioned that he would be by to watch me play a little, and I thought I could clear some things up at that time but he never stopped by.
Anyways, when I started I was suprised that the top of the screen was cut off and you couldn't see the score. I was just going to play a "fast game" anyways, very little point-pressing, so it really didn't matter. I did play to ensure at least a 700k game, and when the game was over I was suprised to see over 900k, just barely over 900k, on the high score table which was nice.
You can see here, the score cut off at the top...kinda annoying.
What's up now, pizza-chewing kids? That's what I thought...
