Nearly have my DK3 done and decided to commit a cardinal sin. I put the game together enough to play before the resto is complete. Oh well, I had fun. This game is really quite cool, don't know where all the hate for it comes from. Anyhoo, I played it 3 times and just hit 49,000 on my third try. Not that great but hey, haven't played the game much evar. Looking forward to breaking 100,000. Where are you DK 3 owners at, and what tricks do you have to share with a kick ass old school gamer like myself?
 
I can break 100k pretty easy on that game. Don't know for sure what my high is, but I figure it will be 2-3 minutes before someone comes one and says "I can get 1.2 million easy".
 
I can get 1.2 million easy.

Seriously though, when I play it I just focus on getting as far as I can as quickly as I can. I suck really bad and can maybe get 100000.
 
my high is like 182k, I played in on mame for a while and never broke 50k, I got a dk3 pcb and my first game was 72k, impressed since I couldnt break 50k before I played again, 170k awesome one more try and I was at 182k which is my high still. I havent played in a bit but will again soon. I am trying some new strategies which might help me score higher. On my coinopspace group there is a member named keith, he is at 1,625,700. I have no doubt that by the end of the weekend if you play you will shatter 100k

Man when I get that spray bottle and can then jam it up his ass from way down below, I really feel empowered. I hate the exploding bee guy that turns blue. Also, the inch worms bug me.

Yeah I love getting the spray bottle towards the end of a level when DK is close to the top. I'll shoot him full of juice, clear the level, and clear the next level in just a few seconds since the bottle carries over.

im sure you know but hit the inch worms on the vines and if you can keep em away long enough they wont even hit the platforms.

Best strategy to break 100k quick is to save the super sprayer till the level with the silver platform (where you cant jump straight up to the top) and use it there and on the next level as quick as you can. then get it again and save it till the next silver plat stage. The other stages are easy, just watch out for the blue mosquitos and exploders
 
You could always watch some MAME replays from over at twingalaxies. Or MARP for that matter.

That will be 2 cents please.
 
I've gotten in the 400k range and my 9 year old son can get into the 150k range. There really isn't much to it after you get the hang of it. Just use the super-spray on the hard boards and keep the worms up as long as possible.
 
I am around 130k I think. I think. Need to check when I get home. I have the high-score save kit with freeplay. Totally worth it.

I like the game a lot but it sure is hard!
 
197,600 is my high, so far. Like DK, I'm trying to crack 200K on DK3. I'll do it someday...on both of those games!
 
My highest is 255,000. I can get over 200,000 regularly.

I just need to practice more and set up a pattern to use the super spray on the harder levels.
 
My top score is 232K on TG marathon settings (not sure if they're default or not, whatever the machine at Funspot is set at ;) ) I agree with the strategy of using the super sprayer on the level with the split on the top row. I usually just kill all the bugs except on that level when I have the super sprayer (and on the 1st couple of boards, before it starts to get insane)
