Last night I beat my personal best score in Donkey Kong and it reminded me of the fun thread here a few months back where we all posted our Crazy Climber scores.

My new high score on Donkey Kong (I'm playing in MAME as I have no dedicated machine) on factory settings is 247,200. I had 100k when I started my last life so I had one hell of a good run on that last man.

Post your scores here (with photographic evidence) so we can have some fun. Dedicated machines or MAME is fine. Factory settings. If playing in MAME it is US Set 1
 
Shortly after I got my cocktail (3+1 lives) 373,200:

Great scores everyone! I have some more practicing to do in order to keep up! I was really excited with my new personal best last night as it was 100k better than my previous best.

Also I've always loved the DK in the orange cabinet because that was the one I used to play at my local arcade when I was a kid and the game was new (which for awhile also had the roms in it that allowed you to put your hand on the level above you on a ladder and not have barrels come down on your head).
 
I know I can put up a better score, just have to dedicate the time....

A few years ago, I hit 287,500, but I can't get close too it now. I added a high score save kit last year, and I think the high on there is 138k.
 
Damn!! How do you guys get these scores?? Granted I've had my DK for less than a week and haven't played since the 80's, but my score is no where near these. My highest right is in the 40K range....with 6 Jumpmen!!!
 
My high is right at 305k. Stupid random crap and my own lack of patience keeps me from achieving better scores. I feel like getting back into working on upping that score.
 
Right around 157,000. I'm not at home to check it exactly. Don't play too regularly these days but still love it. At least I'm better now than I was back in the day which isn't saying much.

I'm amazed at some of the scores posted here!
 
I know you can beat that too! :D

Actually, playing with 3 men, the closest I've come is 350K in MAME. (did it recently over at MARP during a tournament). I seem to have horrible luck with barrels flying at my head near Kong ;)
