D2K High Score Attainable??

It's way harder and no point pressing though. My high on D2K is about 78,000. The farthest I've gotten is Level 3, Board 1 (although I'm pretty sure that wasn't my high score game.)

Don't get me wrong it is very hard. What counts as point pressing in. D2K? Jumping by DK's foot on the girders?
 
The set number of lives is higher too, but D2K is just a whole different animal and much more difficult IMO. I'm only in the 40K range myself, though I'm no expert and I don't play it as much as I play DK.
 
yeah your right ! I just played it in Mame and i had never passed the barrel board.. Well i just passed it... Boy the Elevaders are slow on that screen
 
Never heard of big kong. Thanks for posting the video. That is messed up.

Does it plug right into a DK or is it a different pinout?

It's a daughtercard that plugs right into your DK board (you have to pull the Z80 chip out and install it on the daughtercard). At least that's how it works on my 2-board set. Not sure exactly how it works on the 4-board.

Thanks for the reply. I have the 2 board set, but I don't know if I have the guts to play that! Maybe on Mame. lol

You need a hacked version of MAME (MisfitMAME I think it's called) in order to play it. A standard MAME build won't play the rom files. At least the last time I tried playing D2K in MAME.

Ah, I was talking about that freaky Big Kong above. Sorry for the confusion. I do have D2K installed on my board, and yep that's pretty friggin' hard too.
