My son just turned 12 and has always loved my arcade hobby. The last month or two he has really concentrated on improving his Donkey Kong score. I told him that if he ever scored over 100,000 I'd give him $5. Well, I had to pay up tonight. It feels good to have another classic arcade nut in the house.

Heh, yeah, it's the reflection off of the plexi. It's a Double Donkey Kong board in a DKJr cab.

Damn.. this 40yr old has trouble getting over 100K.. My 10 and 12 year olds rocked out on Time Pilot, wiping me completely off the HS charts..
 
That is so cool!

How many quarters did it take him to get to 100,000? I bet more then $5 worth. :p
 
He practices a little each night. The big help for both of us was that DK101 class that Steve Wiebe did downtown last month. There were several things that just clicked after watching him play and watching his methods. It was after that class that my son really dedicated himself to it. I suspect he'll be beating my 250k before long. But I hope not. :)

Your 12 year old son is as good at this game as I am. :eek: Nice job!
 
You could always distract him as he approaches your high score, just sayin.......
