DK 300k club

There was a time when I couldn't really crack the 200k range in Donkey Kong. It was an interesting problem because at that point the game doesn't get any harder. Donkey Kong reaches a point in difficulty where the game just continues to repeat until you reach level 22 and it runs out of memory and ends the game.

That is why I know my high score of 378,600 will not last. It is merely the first step in what will be many more very high scoring games.

I was already able to get another 300k+ game the other night. There's no longer any certain point I fear getting to. There is no particular spot or enemy that causes me the most trouble. My deaths usually come when I lose concentration for a moment or knowingly make a bad decision hoping the best will come of it.

So my buddy Arron was over and while I was dealing with laundry he took a stab at a few quick games of DK. Having just witnessed some atrocious gameplay he asked if I wanted to try. So I did try. I REALLY tried. Normally if people are over and I play a game of DK, I don't put all my effort into because the game will last at least 30 mins and I don't figure anybody wants to watching me play DK that long.
