DK Data Library of Memorable Games

Hopefully I'll have something higher soon.  I may have actually done an analysis on that game already.  I'll see if I can find it... will save you some trouble of deciphering scores from poorly focused streams.

Sounds good.  Vincent keeps pestering me to post a summary of your 897K killscreen game on MAME.  I suggested displaying it alongside his first killscreen of 809K.  He's been uncharacteristically silent since then.

I have reason to believe Jeff cheated

Coward, A real man would of confronted me at the kong off if he believed such a thing. But you air your grievance here in a public forum to tarnish my reputation. Well for that, I will continue to go for crazy averages with no apologies. 

Thanks for tipping me off, Hank.  I'll have to keep my eye on that Wolfe character.  He's a slippery one.   

Scott you turncoat, If I ever get another score worthy of this Data Library I will replay it with this in the backround Can you survive 10 minutes of the afro circus? No more SRV for you. 

I don't remember the rivets much from that game but the avg shows I probably didn't get @!%$. I had looked at my 1.05 game and was concentrating on upping my barrel and elevators scores. I know I lost quite a bit on conveyors with only 6 free passes after the start compared to 10 for the 1.05 game.

O.K. Scott , I won't play that video (no one should) I don't want to add a hindrance to the great contribution this thread is. Hank you should play some no-hammer it's more fun than all that point-pressing.

Can you survive 10 minutes of the afro circus?

After 32 seconds (4 cycles) of that clip, I was desperately searching my kitchen for a ball of aluminum foil to chew on.

Thanks Scott for putting this together. You can see with the low 108K start I came out the level 5 gate strong for a while, but must have backed off after my first death. Ashame to see the pace drop as low as it did by the end.

Dave, I performed a very basic "what if" analysis on your game, with the following edits:

• Adjusted the start to a more typical 118K
• Replaced the L12 spring death (0 points) with a 10K sac on L21-5
• Eliminated the final spring death, substituting your L05+ stage averages for the last 3 boards on L21

Even with the pace reduction during the game's latter half, the KS score projects to 1.079 million.

That's cool you did that little extra analysis, yeah I usually get better starts, but I need to stop backing off early to keep the 1.1M going. Havent had the urge to play much lately, maybe tomorrow.

Thanks Scott, good to see the break down.

Thanks Scott, I was gonna do my own (to see just how horribly I'm doing certain things, especially elevators lately), but now I don't have to. 5,200 avg. elevators. Barf!

I went into that game with the goal of Mike G's 953K, which was in third at that point of the tourney (and also probably about the best I can do with my current skills), planning to do 45K levels early and then up-shift to 53K levels later on, but I had to go double-hammer early in L8 and 9 to make up for that BUTT AWFUL L7.

Then I lost my last reserve life on 17-1 and gave up on the double-hammers and the 953 target. I switched to gunning for Jry's 905 at that point, which worked out.  I was all over the place though. Sloppy!

I have one potentially useless suggestion:

The fire objects may be more likely to oblige your requests (to climb up or down ladders) if you ask politely.

Be sure to use the magic word (hint:  it's not "asshole").
