Welcome, Steve!

Hi Roger, I started a separate Funspot thread so as to not derail, but yes I'm going.

Can a bot do that?

I'm not sure if this is an "introduce yourself" thread, but I figured I might as well throw a hello out to everyone. I started playing DK (MAME) seriously at the beginning of March, mostly at the behest of f_symbols. 

I don't have a current time-specific goal, but I'm definitely pursuing the killscreen. Eventually I'd like to attend a KO. Most of my gaming hours are spent on Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, a sort of "retro revival" of the original Pac-Man. Recent killscreener f_symbols is the world's leading player at this game.

I enjoy watching many of the Twitch streams by this forum's members and I might starting streaming DK if I can starting getting 300K or 400K consistently. If anyone hears of a DK cab for sale in Hawaii, let me know!

Hi all, my name is Brendan. My first arcade machine was a DK, but I didn't particularly have a taste for it at the time, and I got rid of it. I now kinda wish I hadn't. Now I'd like to atone by getting better at the game. I stream other games on Twitch, mostly Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, but DK will be in the mix soon.

Welcome, Brendan!

You might want to post a reply in the "List of DK Streamers" thread.

If you include the URL for your Twitch TV channel, Jeff can add it to the master list.

Welcome, Ben!  You've come to the right place.

A substantial number of DK heavyweights are members of this forum.  Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.   

If the game is giving you a hard time, you'll find that there's plenty of guidance and support here.  All you have to do is ask.  Of course, once you overcome the Level 3 obstacle, you'll have to face the L4 elevators, the L5+ conveyors and rivets, and other frustrating random elements.

Over time, I predict that you'll become more of a player and less of a fan.

For those of you who don't know Ben, he is a Tetris god!  Watch Ectasy of Order on Hulu if you're not familiar with the NES Tetris scene.  Those guys have been around, supporting each other and holding 'Tetris Off's longer than most of us have been playing DK.

Yea it's a good documentary, I enjoyed it...welcome Ben!

I think I still have my white NWC hat with the gold sticker on it at home somewhere...

Ben and I live in the same general city/area. We hang out every now and then. I'll be sure to get him past that level 3!


Ben. Training. Monday. 5 am. My house.

Be there, or I will hunt you.

Hello all.  Who doesn't love the Kong...

[syscrusher]

Welcome, Ben and Jason!

I'll be there!, well not really and my family is in town for like a week.  However, 2 things need to happen with far greater regularity and ferocity, one thing really: Starting at RQ you train me in DK and I slowly get better.  moving later to Chatterbox where I train you at Tetris and one or the other of us wins at chess.  Those are good ideas!  In addition I also met a number of Nintendo age folks in Milwaukee who said there should be get togethers Aaaaand, did you know some of the best Mario kart 64 and Bond players in the country live right around here?... Its true,  Minneapolis is basically ground zero in gaming I hung out with them recently... They RUINED me at those two games, and I thought I was a good Mario kartist, nope!
