Lutus:

It has different screens with different goals for completion. 



Some day I will rescue that hottie and get my just reward!   :laugh2:

TheShanMan:

Hey, Lutus - what are you doing posting in here when he explicitly excluded those of us "hardcore students of the game"? ;)

Well, since I'm already starting a post, I might as well answer the original question. ;D To be honest since I fell in love with the game 25+ years ago I don't remember for sure why I initially liked it so much. Probably what Lutus said though. One thing I like about it now is that there are patterns that will sometimes work, or at least make completion easier, but there is no pattern that will ALWAYS work. Makes it more challenging, even for us "hardcore students of the game".

DonkeyKong:

I have always liked the game, but sucked at it so I never tried to get better.  After seeing TKOK, now what intrigues me is that I'll NEVER be as good as Steve Wiebe, but I sure can try!  I really enjoy just challenging myself to try and beat my own high score.  There is a lot of randomness in this game that makes me curse Donkey Kong's name all too often!

YEAH, HEY MAN. Anyways, that thread turned into a sporting event so I thought I'd try something else. Like I said there, I didn't really like the game when it came out. I didn't get it, though I probly would've if I'd watched more people. Since finding mame, I've gone from, 'oh, well let's try it out', to 'yeah this is fun' to...I play it every night almost. Sometimes more than once.

Certainly I need a better stick. It not working right and me jumping straight up instead of to either side, depending on the circumstance, costs me lives. Something I always wondered about was whether one could do back to back jumps. Recently, I found out one could, at least twice, but until last night, I wasn't sure if it just required timing that was possible by mortals or if only a succession of taps would hit the right point, or if even just it required multiple taps due to how the game timing runs - especially in connection with other events: barrels in proximity, coming off the top of a ladder, etc.
