Is there a version of the video that includes the Pie Factory? I have read articles where people wrongly leave the Atari out as a version that has the pie factory. It's one more reason that it was a top version in the day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+darryl1970 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Sorry--it's because I wasn't good enough to get there I understand. It's a challenging game. Nice to see them side by side anyway! I always felt that it was a feather in Atari's cap for including all 4 levels. Even their Vic 20 version had all 4. Since ColecoVision was the popular game system for DK, many didn't even know it was an option. Nintendo left the conveyors off of their NES version. That was really pathetic. Even the 4-screen version they released for the Wii years later was extremely flawed. I think Landon said he didn't even really care for DK much, but he really captured a lot of the feel.

JamesD Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Nice job. I always thought the 1983 Kong looked worried or afraid. Not very Kong like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biobern Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I just played it again on an Atari 400 NTSC with a perfect Sony 8" PVM. Very very good gameplay and graphics! So much better than the 1983 version. The only thing I miss is the attract mode. Wouldn't it be great if you could run this game all day long? Just to know it's there? Just like the Arcade game? Naturally you should also remove the stupid color switching screen saver that comes after just a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 We need more 8-bit carts in the store. I think this version would sell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would sell, up until the point it caught the attention of Nintendo's legal department I'm afraid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
