Greetings,

I am a new member to these boards and am in need of some help from some experienced minds.

I have recently acquired my first arcade machine, an original Donkey Kong. With that said it is a major restoration project. Cosmetically the machine is a mess and everything in general needs some love. I am currently trying to ensure the game functions properly before I concentrate on the cosmetic look. There are two major problems I am having with the game play.

1. Sometimes when jumping barrels I do not get points for jumping them.

2. Pauline, pretty girl, or princess whatever you want to call her, her head is off her shoulders and moves to the far right of the screen. Also, when I get to the first elevator stage, the springs at the top have extreme lag.

I have tried to explain my problems as best I can, and any help with these matters will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike
 
Thanks for the response, here is a picture of the problem.

That's not normal. I think Dick Millikan fixes the boards. He's a memeber here.

The lag on the elevators is also no normal

Like Darren said, the no points for some barrels is normal. If you press left or right while in the air it increases your chance of getting points when you jump a barrell. You may also notice that there are times when it says you get 800 pts but you only get 500 (if I remember right it's when you jump 3 barrels in one jump).
