Jason, I wish you nothing but the best.  You're a respected member of our community, and a great friend to many of us.  Take as much time as you need to do what's best for you.

Jerry would like to offer some personal advice (from "Franklin's Tower"):

"If you get confused, listen to the music play."

Things will work out.  Good things happen to good people.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.  They mean a lot to me, as does the community.

I figured I'd post here, since it's my abandoned blog from many years ago.  With the help of a good mate on Discord, I now have the latest MAME all set up and I've been playing Donkey Kong and, of course, Crazy Kong.  I do not have the ability to stream currently, but I hope to change that sometime this year.  For now, I am practicing and will try to up my DK from my nearly 12 year old PB of 555,000.  And looking to kill screen Crazy Kong as well.  Playing when I can.  Since I can't stream, I'll just submit via .inp to MARP when I get a score that is worth posting.  I realize this forum doesn't really get used much anymore, but I always liked it a lot.  So game on, mates!

Welcome back sir! Looking forward to your submissions and future streams. Love to see more Crazy Kong play as well!

Haha, the punishment begins!  My goal for both games is the same.  KS.  I also forgot to mention Zookeeper, as I was beginning to develop some good skills on that game well over a decade ago. 
After a few days of play, I feel quite confident the CK kill screen will come really soon.  DK is a whole other story, as I need to redevelop my elevator/spring/retreat skills.  But it will come in time.
Game on, mates!

Got 390500 on CK.  Died my last death on 14-4.  Just looking to get this CK KS monkey off my back, then I will return to DK.  Playing in my spare time.
