Hi everyone  My name is Eric and I'm very new to Donkey Kong.

Here is my personal best. I know it's not official but just wanted to post for fun! Gonna download the wolf 106 mame player soon.

Good luck to everyone and happy high scores

I won't attach a ZIP for this score, but thought I'd post anyway since I'm the last member with a sub 300k in Corey's high score list.  Just improved, at long last , to 278,300.  Not a big improvement, but my first improvement in nearly 18 months.

Included 2 really stupid deaths, but more pleasing was a 126k last man.

I'll keep plugging away for that 300 score

Nice scores, guys! Keep at it. When you are at 300kish, a huge jump in score is always right around the corner!

Geez I hope so, I'm so sick of this low to mid 200's I keep getting.   I think I need to get the Dr. to put me back on Beta Blockers so I can control myself during the Spring stages

You're not alone, John.  I was sitting on the same high score for 577 days, from 01/19/12 to 08/18/13.  After finally improving my personal best, I was able to do it again 36 days later.  I haven't submitted either of those games yet, because I believe "the big one" is imminent.

I'm confident that you will experience a similar breakthrough soon.

I have added the following platform notes to the bottom of the High Score List. If you did your arcade score on a TKG-4 board and would prefer that your platform say this as opposed to Arcade, please let me know. Please let me know if you used the D2K or High Score save kit on your pcb for the score on the list. (I am updating scores this evening so that is forth-coming) Thanks for your response in advance and as always thank you for your efforts to add more value to the DK Forum HSL.

Platform Notes:
Arcade = TKG4 or unknown since some earlier TG scores may not have been TKG4
TKG3 = 4 board set using US Set 1 roms
JAMMA = a multi pcb (X in 1)
MAME = Any version of WolfMAME or unknown since some earlier TG scores may not have been WolfMAME .106
* = A D2K board was plugged into the Z80 processor location
^ = A High Score save kit was plugged into the Z80 processor location

I have a video by Jonathan McCourt on youtube showing that he got a killscreen during the WCQ#3. Initially he streamed this game and since Twitch does not automatically archive broadcasts by default anymore and this setting was not checked, his game was lost.

I actually need further verification for this score. Any video that shows the ending of the game only needs to demonstrate a restart to prove that it was done on a 3 man setting. So, like in the case of Svavar, I will need to know if anyone witnessed this game while it was being broadcasted that witnessed that the game was started on a 3 man setting, or if a restart was done, etc. It looks as if the cab had a high score save kit. Any support or information concerning this score would be appreciated. Thanks.

Honorable mentions:

Aaron Rounsaville 632,200 I think he will submit if he gets a really high score, I talk with him before about this, I think (memory fails me)

Still processing Jonathan McCourt's submission, pending further verification.

Jason's 159,000 No Hammer score (ending on Level 6-5), achieved on 10/22/13, has been verified.

Nice job, Jason.  I may have to try my luck on this variation.  My life isn't nearly as frustrating as I would like.

Todd Lalonde here. This is my current high score submission for DK 1-1 9,300 points.

Todd's Level 1-1 score of 9300, achieved on 10/16/13, has been verified.

I also learned something new from Todd's INP:  the "Skip game info" option begins the game immediately, bypassing that rectangular frame on a blank screen (where you would normally press <Enter> to begin).  I doubt I'll ever use it, but it's nice to know.
