Donkey Kong - a disappointing version of the game that has the look down pretty well but all it retains in terms of gameplay is the barrel-jumping. From what I can tell it's just the same level over and over.

Yeah, looks that way to me. Oh, and by the way, I kicked your sorry ass. Just thought you'd want to know.

I'm saddened not by the fact that you took the trophy from me but rather that you played this sorry game all morning to do so :P

Yeah and sorry dude I had to CRUSH your sorry ass in the game. Just thought you'd like to know.

*holds up DK trophy to the nth power*

[Rogmeister]

So close! I managed to get 50,000 at DK...but died soon after. For now, I'll have to settle for that 2nd place trophy. Well, it's the first trophy I've had in a long while!

Maybe I'll go try Lander next...

[Keir]

Stop taunting me! I really don't want to have to play that game again!

[Rogmeister]

This game isn't that bad! I actually kind of like it...am I the only one? I think I'll play it again after I check my mail...

[Rogmeister]

Hey, I seem to have encountered a weird glitch of some sort on Donkey Kong. I play okay for one round or two but then as soon as the next round starts, there's a barrel right in front of me...there's no time to dodge it and I lose 3 quick lives. Now that's just not fair...

[D-Lite]

ZooKeeper will officially get me fired. I love that freakin' game. It's as if the DS was designed specifically for it.

sorry man, and i hear ya, i dont want to go through that again, that took alot out of me to get the high score. me being forced to sit through a sucky game for a half hour sucked bad. the worst part was that i still had one guy left when i got my high score, but i had a customer and had to let my guy die

I havent had that happen to me, unless it just started happening

[Captain J]

oh my goodness, i just beat my own score and got 77,000 and i had to go through 28 stages to get there! im starting to get addicted to this sucky game! you have to be in the zone for sure to play this game!

[Rogmeister]

I'm kind of glad you got such a high school...makes me want to play it less. That glitch just got me again! I didn't mind it so much before but now I had about 36,000 points and hadn't lost a life yet...and then 3 barrels at the beginning of each stage and BAM! BAM! BAM! my game is over! I now officially hate this game!

[Captain J]

sorry man, i think there is something wrong with your computer, because like i said i played nearly 30 stages and no glitch! its funny because when you said that before about it freezing, it made me paranoid into thinking it was going to glitch but it didnt

[Rogmeister]

It didn't freeze...it just put a barrel down at the bottom of the screen where my character was...and was there each time it went to the next man. I don't think its my computer...whose computer would do something like that? And it hasn't happened that often, only a couple of times. I guess several of these games do have bugs and it doesn't bother me that much unless I'm doing really well. I'll doubtless play again but I'll be curious to see if this bug happens to anyone else.

[Rogmeister]

Well, once or twice it's appeared to the right and I could jump over that. But then the next couple of times it appeared right next to me and it was impossible to jump...there's just no time, even if you hit the button as the level begins. I'll just have to live with this occasional bug and hope it doesn't happen again when I'm deep into a game.

[Captain J]

i think i always use the term "freeze" to describe any video game problem sorry about that! anyways i still have not had anything weird happend to me in that game. i didnt mean like your computer is broken or anything but i think sometimes those glitches have to do with things like whats going on in your background. i know i got some glitches in some flash games at a different site along time ago and after i got a pop up blocker, they stopped. who knows? computers have minds of their own :/

[Rogmeister]

Well, I do have a pop-up blocker though I still doubt that's the problem. It's just weird. And it seems to be happening even more often, at least once every 3 games or so. I'm not going to worry about it, though...I'm not THAT crazy about this game...I'll just move on and play something else.

Earlier I was playing a miniatrue golf game which was fun but I see no trophies or scores listed for it. In fact, when the game was over, you basically had one option, to play it again. Am I right in assuming some games don't have the ability to keep points or award scores for?

Right. Please read my first post in this thread.
