Retro Game Challenge #21 (12/19-12/26)
Week 21 is over!
  1. [*]
  2. [*]
  3. [*]
  4. [*]
  5. [*]
So far we have only been using MAME to play the games, but that can change, if the winner so chooses.
I am going to host the current ROMs and list of all the past winners and high scores here.
New to MAME? Feel free to ask questions here or read the tutorials

The Games:
(click the titles for info and how to play)

Bump 'n' Jump - Score to beat: trozkd 68728


Donkey Kong (US set 1) - Score to beat:devilshalo 111300


Time Pilot (Centuri) - trozkd 425700



The Prize:
Whoever gets the high score for one of the games picks the next game that replaces it, so we should always have 3 to choose from. You also get your name engraved permanently etched onto this eye catching trophy with a genuine Sharpie!

This Week's Winners:

Jeez, you couldn't wait a couple of days to give me false hope?
I'm not sure which picture to keep up there, the cabinet or the flyer

I guess I'll get started on this one...




And I KNOW I can't touch that Donkey Kong score. I always have trouble on Level 3 - 75km, the one with the bouncing springs. I can never make it up the top ladder without getting hit

I'm holding out till tomorrow to post and using your devilshalo rule..
Plus, I would have picked Crazy Kong. Small cheats make it simpler for others to play.

I would've picked the Japanese version of Donkey Kong. It doesn't make you play the first level over and over.

Generous, giving me a whole 5 minutes. You were just waiting for me to post mine, weren't you?

Ok, I won't wait this time...


I'm finally remembering how to play this well. I don't think I've played a version of it since the NES days.

Glad you're enjoying the game. I remember playing it in the arcade.
