    Hey John, nice effort on this attempt. DK Jr is a monster to dominate. Have you tried getting a hand on a Japanese board (this one will have all four stages on every level.
    Playing that version will help you get better on the US version.
    Keep trying, and do not give up!!

    The light's a great move, John. Defuser's totally what you want. Illumination control is totally boss. After all, a standard cam-corder's head lamp LED is there as a means to an end. Field illumination. It's poor, blinding and probably capable of doing eye damage. As for field work...I'll advise just like with the tri-pod/handheld. Choose the right approach for the environment. The right tool for the job. And, every situation is going to be unique.

    Hi John,
    Love your channel, only discovered it recently.
    I hope you haven't given up on 100k for Donkey Kong Junior. I only recently started passing 100,000 on it myself. That extra 30,000 points from 70k mark to over 100k isn't an easy barrier to break.
    For practice purposes only, I changed the dipswitches to have 6 lives. The 2nd springboard screen is a bitch to get past (Those egg dropping birds are much more packed together) and it gave me the opportunity to get much needed practice in when reaching Mario's Hideout.
    I then took the extra lives off, and now I'm a much better player. My high score is currently 169,900.
    On a seperate note, I'm in the UK and have never played an original DK or DKJ cabinet. They are as rare as hens teeth here! Looking forward to visiting Barcade in NYC lin August where I will finally get to play on original machines!

    People are really complaining about a convention announcement? Guess you have to consider age when dealing with youtubers subbing to your channel. "Please cater to me, John, ALWAYS." Come on, think about other people other than yourself, you know?
    Anyway, I dig the new lighting! Looks nice and lighty.

    I think on those chain levels you need to attack the two end locks out of the gate before the board fills up with birds. Its way harder to predict where the birds will drop on each end. By jumping on them first there are way less birds to roll the dice on. Once those are cleared those central locks are much easier to judge your path through the birds to the top. Try it out.

    I like that light setup. It shows the area more clearly. It also makes your blacks look better. I also your like your transitions between scenes.

    Just a quick tip for people with screen burn. If you have an old CRT computer screen with a De-Gause button on it. If you put the monitor next to the screen with burn as close as you can get and press the De-Gause button it will also De-Gause the screen next to it too. Dont ask me how it does it, it must use a radio frequency or somthing. I found this out by accident as i fix PC's and i pressed a De-Gause button on a monitor to clear the burn and the monitor next to it De-Gaused too. Or you can buy a De-Gauser. Dont know if this is standard for all but ive used the technique a fair few times. Give it a try and let me know if it worked for you too. Sorry for bustin in on your page John just thought it maybe a useful tip. Cheers.

    • @Johnsarcade
      @Johnsarcade  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Degaussing doesn't get rid of burn. It gets rid of color blotches from magnetic magnetic fields.

    • @craiggilchrist4223
      @craiggilchrist4223 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ive used it a fair few times and its done the trick dude, seriously. A few buddies of mine have too. You do have to do it a few times. The principle is the same. My old man used to fix TV's back in the day and use a Degausser to get rid of minor burn in. Admitidly its probably not the correct tool for the job but im just letting people know what it can do not what its really for. Like using a knife to change a fuse in a plug lol. Gotta be resourceful. If it helps one person then cool.

    The key of point pressing is getting points from jumping enemies repeatedly and getting 300 a pop on the first screen and the fourth screen.

    @craiggilchrist4223 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    John feeeeeeling goooood! lol If im feeling awesome i tend to bust my games open. When im feeling gloomy i tend to make schoolboy errors. Really wished i lived in the US so i could go to Brofest. Seriously. Your gonna get wasted and have a blast. Your a legend dude and very sorry to hear about your buddy who passed away, he gone to the big Arcade in the sky. God bless buddy and take care.

    Jusst a quick word on when you do your next shirt run, PLEASE use the thumb ring artwork you promised to do for the original one. I would really like to get one if it had that artwork on it.
    Next time, make it happen man.

    New light looks ok. Not quite as nice as the old one, but it's worth it to prevent you from going blind.

    we finished the highscore savekit with upload for DK Jr. while testing it i also did not get passt 70k. this game is so hard... and the terror in marios hideout is freaking me out as well. not so many problems with the chain-level though.

  • @theorgandude
    @theorgandude 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    hey i like the idea about a parallel tournament for fans that can't make it to brofest. can we play the games in mame and register highscores online?

    Frogger was 1981. I got curious so checked a screenshot from every 1982 Sega game and I think your Pole Position monitor may have been from Super Locomotive. Check the KLOV page for screenshots www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9910

    I'm trying to get passed the hideout myself. It's hard to even get there and you dont get a lot of practice getting there every once in awhile.

    • @JoeCnNd
      @JoeCnNd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm now up to 83,400 and made it to the second spring/bird stage. Made it there with all my men with 83000ish k with all my men and died all there.

    I think you might need to reconsider point pressing in order to break 100K.

  • @stt5v2002
    @stt5v2002 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do not watch game play videos! You can't take it back and do it yourself once you do. I'm not a DK Jr expert but it looked like both of your strategies were helping on the chain level. Getting the keys up part way first does give you less to worry about when the screen gets busy later. Playing more fearlessly was working too. I might suggest taking a game or two where you get to the chain level and just stand at the bottom and watch what the birds are doing. Might be some insight to be gained. Looking forward to the next try!

      Loggins1969 Please quit generalizing. This is part of John's style. He is very passionate about this arcade hobby. Don't change John.
      And I don't know where you are from. Australia, Britain? Don't give a fuck. Quit acting like your shit doesn't stink. Plenty of loud-ass Aussies and Brits out there.
