Shout out to ZK players, I've just gotten mine back up and running, and started playing again. What are some of your consistent scores ?

All time high scores?

All time best jumps?

 
Everyone knows that serious ZK play is done head-to-head, simultaneously. Elbows and sidekicks are not allowed. Trash-talking and/or verbal abuse, however, definitely is.
 
It would be an honor to kick your ass on not one, but two zookeepers.

Simultaneously.
 
Personal Best of 7.8 million. 4 million point jump is my highest. Usually average in the 4 million range or so.
 
Steve, that's impressive. I've never gotten higher than a 2M jump. 5.8M high score. Consistently score in the 2's and 3's.

My limiting reagent is the 4th escalator. If I can get past that, I'm off to the races. But it usually does me in. I certainly don't feel I've played my best ZK game yet. One of the times I got a 2M jump, I only scored 2.8M for the whole game. LOL
 
Here's a moose level I filmed one night a few years ago. For me, this is the first board where I'm able to start picking up serious points...

Are there any vids of the Cram Bros in action? Or one of those 15 M point jumps I hear about?

I've seen Shawn play on a few occasions during some Funspot visits. It is a great watch. IMO the best players in the world on this title right now are the Crams, Greg Bond and John Petric. The latter of which will likely post here once he sees this thread, he is the only one of the 4 I've never seen play, but IMO, judging by his scores, big jump ratio and survival rate, is the most likely candidate to challenge or break Shawn's WR in the immediate future.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that Shawn hasn't played his best game yet, his WR game had a maximum point jump of 4m. I'll give everyone a few minutes to ponder that....35m points. Maximum jump during the entire game of 4m....

I think I watched this awhile back while messing around youtube. Nice work. I have a few of my 5m-ish point games I shot at Funspot sitting on a camera right now but I'm having lots of trouble uploading them to youtube. Once I get that figured out I'll supply the link here.

Wow, that is good info. I've played with Shawn a few times as well, but only seen him do average games, for HIM, 5-6M. I always assumed that his world record score had the 15M jump in it. Interesting...

And prok, let's play dude. Anytime you're ready! You better be on your game ;)
 
I've never played Zookeeper.

Looks like fun though ...

(patiently waiting on my invite to come to St. Auggie to play ZK)

;-)
 
I finally broke 2 million on mine, only to have it konk out on me shortly after. Still can't get it going and it is killing me. Anyone have spare working boards for sale?
 
Joeseph, go thru the self-test, it might be as easy as replacing a chip or two. Or the power supply if you haven't already.


Steve, ur close enough where u can shoot down whenever. Lately I've been hanging around working on house/game projects on the weekends.... if the weather turns nice, I'll be out on the water tho!

prok, u have a working Zk right? I need to drop by ur place anyway, let u watch some real Zk gameplay, and start work on that top secret project.
 
Yep my zk works fine and school's open. bring your pen and paper.

I got this to work finally. Here's a few decent games I played at Funspot last year. Joystick wouldn't move left all the time so that made the high level bonus boards a pain.

I specifically asked Shawn about his WR score when I met him last year at Funspot. I had read somewhere that it included a 30M point jump (that's the max, with all 17 animals) and he said no, it was with two 15M point jumps.
 
I only got my ZK a few weeks ago, but have managed to put up a few good scores ... . I hope to do a lot better after sorting out a few timing issues, and some more practice

Here's a screen shot after playing 70 games over those few weeks.
