I played one game tonight and it's all it took. I yelled up to my wife "I broke 200,000!" and she replied, "That's great, honey."

Oh well. 300K, here I come!

P.S. I need to get a D2K/HSS kit. Haha. But pictures are good for the time being.

That kicks ass Jess,
But I don't see a pic?
Bad link perhaps?

That's a pretty good score right there.
Once you get used to the difficulty past level 5 it's alot easier.
I still struggle at times with the elevator timing on level 4 and above.
If I think about it too much I die. If I relax and go with the flow I usually make it.
 
Awesome, Jess! Lol, yeah, you need the HS kit for sure now. I always seem to do better at DK when I haven't played for awhile and start a game really relaxed. That being said, I suck and can't even get close to 100k! ;)
 
Awesome Jess! I've been stuck at 399,200 for just about a year now, and I haven't broken 300k other than that. But with getting a real DK (instead of playing in the mame cab) this weekend, I'll probably actually get back to playing regularly. :)

Nice!

I hate being stuck at X99,XXX. At the time, did you lose because you were staring at your score? Haha. When I first hit 199K, I checked my score and said "ALMOST THERE!!!" and I got hit by a falling barrel.

DK has no mercy or tolerance for the unfocused and weak-minded.

Wtg I'm stuck at 179 But my high score on the machine is nothing close too it. I lost all my high scores when my high score kit/DK2 Crashed.

GL getting the kit only saves your high scores for only soooo long!

I've been stuck on this score for a year! I can't beat it... Very frustrating

Let me rephrase. I'm being held back by random barrels or I misinterpret which way a flame is going to move. I don't really get stuck at any one point. I've mastered the elevator springs. So I guess you could say I die the most on the girders (random barrels) and the cement factory (flames).

Honestly, I lose my first 3 lives between L-2 and L-4 and then my last man usually lasts the longest. It could just be I'm trying harder when I'm down to one life. Haha.

Jess, I gotta ask, What level or area is holding you back?

Jess, watch the Weibe video from his E3 attempts. They show how he stops in certain areas on the barrel levels to avoid the dangerous spots for random barrels. Seems he has some locations that he holds back in to let those pass without worry.

My problem is the same. Even trying harder I just do stupid things a few times and before you know it I end in the 200's. I can average over 200K but can't hit 300K. Sucks!
