Thank you for adding me as a member. I admit I am late in life, late to the game, and late to the forum. So, I will be fifty this summer and I still remember the first time I ever saw a Donkey Kong machine. It was in the entrance foyer of a little seafood restaurant that my parents liked. I remember how much I loved it and just how much I stunk at it. We only ate there rarely so I had few chances to play it. I did not see another DK for quite a while after that. I never got the hang of it in the 80's... I would say I would max out at the second elevators, so I played other games I was better at.
I have always loved DK. Now, there is a new 80's style arcade in my hometown, Greensboro, NC. They have all the old Nintendo cabinets, lined up side by side... they even have Popeye. Anyway, this has brought me back to playing DK again, and I am already much better than I was previously. I max out around L6 or L7 now 175,700. I've only been at it a little while so I'm pleased with my progress.
I just wanted to thank you guys. You have done an incredible amount of work, posted some amazing graphs and explanations, so those of us who need help can advance. I did not want to just be a "leech", so from your humble, newest member... THANK YOU!
