I imagine they did it they way they did so the barrels would shoot down a ladder as you ran toward it, to make it harder. Having the player use this to their advantage was probably an unintended consequence.

I agree - it is details like this that make DK so replayable though.  Also, I often wonder if they thought Mario could jump a barrel while jumping in the same direction as it is rolling or if they knew that you could skip 1/2 the elevators level or if they knew on the cement factory and rivets that you could control where the enemies spawn to your advantage.  I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out but it all adds up to a GREAT game.

In all honesty, he's really awesome to fans.  He was willing to travel to the middle of nowhere to bs for hours about games.  Very inviting and nice.  Pretty eccentric, but that's no crime.

At this event in Ottumwa, a bunch of people went to eat at "The Canteen" which was an old hang out for them in the 80s.  They had an eating contest (him and Steve Sanders, Tim McVey, and others) and he kept hiding how many Canteens he had eaten.  He ended up winning by like 8-4 because he was hiding the wrappers as he ate, and the whole time Walter Day was badgering him to get back to the event.  Pretty hilarious.

A little OT but The Canteen is my favorite all time place to eat.  I can't imagine eating 8 of them.  I can eat 3 with no problem but 8?  Wow. 

Glad to hear you met him and had a different take from the movie.

You will get there.  I was stuck in the 80s because I couldn't get past that 3rd elevator level - once I did my score shot up to 125k which is where I'm at now.  All 5 high scores are over 100K now.
