This is just a friendly messageboard high score competition.

The game in question is Donkey Kong Junior.

You must achieve your score during the competition, which runs from 10/08 and ends sunday evening 10/14 at roughly midnight central time. No using your old score from last year. Current and former Twin Galaxies world record holders on Donkey Kong Junior are not eligible to win this contest, although they are encouraged to submit a score for exhibition purposes.

Please attempt to photograph your score in some manner if you can.

Dip switches must be set to 3 lives with bonus life at 7000.

Mame, real pcbs and multiboards are all appropriate platforms to play the game on. dkongjr version should be used if using mame (it is the default version anyway). Any version is fine on real hardware provided it doesn't have any cheats installed.

No mame cheats, games achieved using emulator save states or modified roms please.

Please post your scores in this thread. Go ahead and post your score even if it isn't competitive with the others (I know mine won't be).

Winner of the competition may select the game for the next competition. I suggest you go ahead and post your selection for the next game when you post your score, that way I don't have to have any delay between contests. If you pick something obscure that gets no buzz then I reserve the right to replace the selection.

You are also certainly encouraged to use this thread to post your Donkey Kong Junior tips, tricks, stories and technical information.

LOL! I've got 125 on it if I'm lucky. I still haven't broken through the barrier on DK Jr. I'm hoping some of the better players don't see this post!

Last contest I played it for I got 1m on my first man and killed the game off before the rollover. Marky D knows about this thread but he has the current WR so he's ineligible :) I'll enjoy checking out the threads seeing how people are doing on it, it's a great game.

I have already moved over to my Tron after posting my score. My DK Jr is kinda sick right now.
 
I'd play but I just swapped my DK Jr board out of my DK cab and put DK back in .
 
It is totally possible to make huge score strides in a game in a short period of time. During the BYOAC Space Dungeon contest I increased my high score by about 10 times my previous saved one.

I'm going to try again tonight. It feels like I'm working on games more than playin them lately.
 
this is the best i could pull off in a few games. it's been a while since i've played jr. and i couldn't shake the rust off.

Ha, luckily, Steve W graciously passed on submitting a score and maybe Mr. DK Jr. didn't see the post. Those guys are world class players.

It must be that 2nd springboard level that's getting you. I can get past that about 1/2 of the time now (if I even get there) but I still haven't really figured out the 4th lock/chain level. I can get past it sometimes but I usually die. I'm still refusing to take advice on how to play. I've figured out a few patterns but not all of them.
