Dude, shut up. I've looked at the faq at Pugsy's and if it was there for these specific cheats in these specific games I didn't see it. I've also looked in the readme, etc. If you say it's in one of those, and your hand (or chad's) isn't in your pocket and working, I'll go look again.

I don't think he was telling you to research the answer to the cheat question. I think he was referring to what happens on the kill screen. So you were pwned by a noob. ;D

Yes, you just spontaneously die for no apparent reason. I've experienced it once by using the infinite lives cheat.

Actually, Shan, I think he was, though I think pulling my chain was a greater part of it.

Anyways, recall above I said the timer didn't expire. In reading Don Hodges article on the DK kill screen, I was under the impression that the counter rapidly decreased such that one couldn't finish the game. In my case, I got to exactly the same place on the screen and then just died. Maybe my timing was close between runs? Also, I thought the kill screen was level 256. Maybe I'm off.

I tell ya one thing. After reading that article on Mitchell, I feel better about myself some in that he seriously studied the game and all to get there. He wasn't just some wiz-kid that sorta intuited everything through a hundred (or less) plays. I do find it interesting he's also the Pac/Mspac champ.

That was the impression I had, but no, you just die for apparently no reason.

I googled "donkey kong kill screen". The first two entries were:
1. Steve Wiebe reaching it: youtube.com/watch?v=ZPglteec8BA
2. Somebody doing it in MAME: youtube.com/watch?v=UmkhXdSC62w

According to Wikipedia the DK kill screen is the 22nd stage, the 117th screen. According to the Don Hodges page you need to "warp to level 22". It's odd in the MAME video that the counter isn't counting down and it isn't making the "almost out of time" sound. But the bonus starts at 100 in the video and you are dying because you run out of time according to what I've read.
