Ironically this is in response to mikegmi2 in one of my other threads, that might sidetrack the thread.
It's in regards to "I know nothing about DK3. Are you bringing it up because you'd like to see more people try to break your record? Do you think your score has been contested by anyone?"
The only person who I am publicly aware of going after this record is Dwayne Richard, and he really didn't prepare that well before he tried to break my 3.5 million (I think) record at the time. His highest was 2.07 million. Now as far as wanting to see more people try to break my record that is a little more deep.
Personally I would just like to see someone try to take it semi seriously, and not even try to break my record. Over the past 3 years this is what 90 percent of the new DK3 players do when they play this game. Once they hit 1 million on ANY level they stop soon after. Some have done it on Twin Galaxies settings, and some do it on the easiest settings. But almost all of them stop. The only exception to this rule was Justin Knucklez who reported he got 2.2 million on easy settings. Of course he went to prison for who knows what, and that was the end of his DK3 quest.
So what I would like to see is one of two things. First I would like to see someone bluescreening this game on ANY level. For those who don't know Bluescreening starts when someone hits board 159/160 in DK3. The board repeats blue for the next 97 boards. I found out about this crazy glitch in the game well over 2 years ago. To me I would say this would be the closest to killscreening this game as you can get.
On easy settings it takes a 3.3 or so million score in order to bluescreen the game. On easy settings it's definitely doable. Someone years ago came close on MARP with a 3.06 million score on easy settings. They just didn't know about the repetitive blue screen at the time. I am sure that person would have trudged through to get it, had he known about it.
If not that, than I would like to see someone at least get two million or more on at least medium settings for MAME, which is still one notch below Arcade settings. I have even toyed with the idea of putting up a small bounty of some sort to see one of those two things happen.
