On behalf of Twin Galaxies, I'd like to congratulate Steve Wiebe of Redmond, WA for re-claiming the WR on Donkey Kong Junior! Steve reached the kill screen and scored 1,190,400 points on his home machine on 2/11/2010 to take back the crown.

Way to go Steve!


Below, a shot of Junior getting bit by an "invisible" snap jaw on the kill screen. :mrgreen:

Congrats, Steve. Saw you on DVD at the MSU Theatre, vs. B. Mitchell. BTW, I've only been mildly good at Donkey Kong '94 (Super Game Boy version) and DK Country (the first one on SNES), though my half-sister had the SNES sequels for a while. The original Donkey Kong arcade series is largely out of my element, and thus I am not very good at any of it. It's mostly Mazes and Bubbles for me.

Congrats to Steve for regaining the title here. Amazing competition on this title over the past year and a half... first Ike Hall breaks the long-time record, then Steve comes in, then Mark, and now Steve again... by over 50k!

Great to see so much back-and-forth competition on a title, always.

Congratulations on your new Donkey Kong Junior world record score,

I'm looking forward to your next world record!

Steve was nice enough to sit down for an interview with me at my Examiner.com arcade column about this score, his music, and more.

I ask him his plans for Donkey Kong in here: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-3173 ... lishments#

Enjoy :)

One question that you didn't ask that I would like to know though Scott. Where did the Stampede score on the 2600 come in?
