MAME ROW #68 - Donkey Kong 3
-
Glad I could help put a thumb down on the scales for this sometimes overlooked classic. I should also point out that it's purely out of nostalgia. To stay on top of things lately, I've had to temporarily cut out nearly all gaming. I did manage to find time to beat the twelfth level of 'Famicom Wars' the other day, leaving me with only five more to go. Talk about getting your money's worth out of a game, I would not have regretting buying it as a kid. I might have even beaten it by my teenage years.

45,600 for now. Also, I'm pretty sure "registrated" is not a word.
-
You're lucky I'm away from my arcade build, and wil be for more 2 weeks. :-)
-
Well, I never played this so I'll try to give it a go :) I had seen in come up on the random game screensaver every now and then, so it's as good a time as any to give it a shot (no pun intended) :)

Do your version save hiscores? My score from above is not remembered in the game..
I'm running the FBA .42 version... -
My entry for this nice game 56400 Pts
You get a better insecticide (made by Monsanto??) per live if you hunt Donkey Kong up the rope!@pjft Try this! It's a nice game for casual players and one coin lasts not for long....

I reset my high score and played a little bit today. After a few stages, I have more luck focusing on killing all the insects rather than trying to push DK all the way to the top. It's still important to give him a healthy boost at the very beginning, otherwise he'll fall on top of you before you have a chance to kill everything.
-
My best so far is a paltry 26000-ish.
I work in a warehouse and a guy I worked with thought boxes of Monsanto stuff was an Italian wine! -
MAME ROW #69 is live!

This is essentially a vertical shooter. Don't focus on spraying DK all the way to the top unless you have the super sprayer, just kill all the bugs and the level will end. This is especially key on the level with the missing platform in the center.
On the level where he is throwing coconuts at you, he alternates between throwing one directly at you, and throwing one at a hive to release bugs. Keep track of which one he is on, and be ready to dodge the one coming for you. You need to move quick, don't be in the middle of a level change or jumping in the air to shoot him. On these levels you do have to spray him to the top, but it is quite easy to do as he doesn't release very many bugs at once. Remember that shooting the caterpillars just stuns them and keeps them in your way, so when you are trying to spray DK to the top on this round, don't hit the caterpillars, let them crawl past your line of fire.
Don't "run and gun" the bumblebees, as they split into parts that will kill you, always be directly under them and stay there until the shrapnel is past.
The blue wasps will fix on your vertical position from the sides and then VERY quickly move in for the kill. Get under them by dropping down one level and shooting them from underneath after they fix on you but BEFORE they move in. If you see blue wasps coming out of the hives, do NOT be on the very bottom , as you won't be able to kill them after you dodge their attack until you move under them again.
