Donkey Kong High Score List General Discussion

[Fast Eddie]

well played Corey 

 

[stella_blue]

I, Corey Chambers, am posting my new personal best which I did during the WCR #3. Here is the stream:

http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/c/2462659.

It was a score of 964,500 and it was a killscreen game! It was achieved on 6/22/13 on MAME.

Hey Corey, congratulations on the new high score!

I could start working on the game summary, but I fear another personal best might be announced before I'm finished.  Let me know when you've achieved a score that you feel is "stable", at least for a week or two.

I will be updating scores after the tournament. I may not start until Tuesday. Here is the link to my game on youtube:[noembed] Donkey Kong Killscreen Game 964,500 (High Score) [/noembed]

Just a reminder to all the MAME players during the tournament this weekend to make sure that your zip folders with the inp and wlf files are available during the updating process on the High Score List.

[corey.chambers]

I have updated the following scores:

George Riley, Phil, Eric Martin, Mike, Dustin Pease, Corey, Bookoo Tabor.

I will be updating more soon, it just takes a long time and patience.

I will be going through the score list for the WCR #3. I will post those scores which could be updated but I don't know if you are MAME or Arcade for some people, it takes a long time to sift through all of your stream highlights so please just post it here if it is different than what is on the list already. If you played on MAME then I will need you to post the inp anyways so just do that according to the criteria on the list, and so you might as well post the link to your Twitch highlight. Thanks.

Mine went up to 997800

backhalf: http://www.twitch.tv/milehighdt/c/2472621

now with some unsound logic and fairy dust I should up this to about 1.09 in WCR #4. since in 2 I beat the best score of 1 and in 3 I bested the best score of 2 so in 4 it just follows I will beat the best score of 3, Thanks dean.

Ok, after sifting through the WCR #3 scores, I realized that I had updated most of the personal bests already. Just waiting on info from two people. Does anyone know who Erin Drake is? I can't find this person on the registration list or on the list of streamers. I have no info to follow up with this person.

Can I borrow some fairy dust?

I've got plenty of unsound logic here, but no dust.

I have no clue to what you are talking about, and so my guess is that Corey has no clue either.

[marinomitch13]

It was a play off of Jeff's (Milehighdt's) comment.

[Milehighdt]

Chris I'm overflowing with the unsound logic too. It comes out of the TV, radio and its all over the streets, can't do a damn thing with it unless you have some fairy dust and I'm in short supply. Maybe you know a politician that can get you some. 

[homerwannabee]

OK, I know this was posted on the Killscreen thread, but just in case Corey did not catch that Christian Van Meter scored 863,200

[corey.chambers]

Thanks, George. Yeah, I saw it on facebook and on the DK Forum. I had sent a personal message to Christian in order to see if he has got the inp and wlf files and then I would be able to update the score on the list, well, I think add him to the list is more like it, I don't believe he is on the list yet. Way to go Christian. We expect great things from you! One million attempts now!

There are currently 104 players and scores on the list.

A score of exactly 800,000 will not even crack the Top 40.

There are players with scores over 700,000 who are in the bottom half of the list.   

That's not a typo.  I'll say it again:

There are players with scores over 700,000 who are in the bottom half of the list.

This is getting insane.

Yeah, a good example of how crazy it has gotten, consider this.  In 2005 when the movie came out Brian Kuh was in 8th place MAME/Arcade with a 586k score.  Now 8 years later he improved his score by 111 thousand, and now is in 56th place!  Also I personally this year have increased my high score from 319k to 603k, and still I don't feel like I have made much of a dent despite improvement.
