Donkey Kong Arcade is Official - Pre-Order Now!

[DZ-Jay]

Nice find Rev! Interesting how they ask if you own an INTV I or II... wondering if there will be two different types of carts?

 

I don't think so, I think they just make sure to code it to work in both and test it accordingly. The incompatibilities and potential pitfalls are very well known and easy to avoid--especially with the 30 years of research and reverse engineering that we have at hand today.

Whether a game will start on an Intellivision 2 is a matter of a single bit. If the game contains a valid year for the built-in copyright screen then that bit will be set. On the earliest Coleco games (and Word Fun) it wasn't, so the INTV2 refuses to boot those.

 

I suppose the author is concerned with the timing differences that affected certain games when played on the Intellivision 2.

[NightSprinter]

Yeah, Phredreeke, that actually is a concern for INTV homebrew developers. There were timing differences, as it's documented on the Blue Sky Rangers site. Wouldn't be good to make a game that works differently on one revision of the system compared to all the others (including the licensed clones that were based off the original's design).

Wondering if they would put two games inside one cart, and one would automaticly boot based on the console?

 

I think Rev has probably drummed up a little business for INTV!!!!

I'm still working on my first home-brew, which should be ready in a few months; but when it is, I'll be sure to pimp the heck out of it--in here and everywhere.

I told Dave we'd put some posts up for him since as Dryfter mentioned he's out of the country for a couple of weeks.

This is a game worth pimpin'! again, to be clear, neither Rev nor Dryfter nor I have any interest in this game other than being really stoked that the INTV homebrews are starting to roll out the door again for the first time in four years! DZ-jay, know that we'll help you pimp your games as well whenever they're ready!

I am curious about one thing: did licensing become an issue at all with using the DK name for this new release?

I don't think it will or did......Look at all the other homebrews on other systems.

 

pacman collection on colecovision

 

pitfall arcade on colecovision

 

look at probably half of homebrews made and the name is owned by some large game company.

Any word on this lately? I signed up for the e-newsletter and have not received a single thing.

It's coming. I believe hardware production has already started and the boxes will be printed real soon.

When did you sign up? I know Dave was away for a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure this will sell out pretty much right away.

[retrorussell]

Beautiful! I wondered aloud before the video showed if the elevator and pie factory levels would be included. Yup!

[Vic George 2K3]

It's not only done right, it also has two additional screens from the arcade original. Pretty good job, whoever programmed it.

Carl Mueller Jr I believe. He's done a great job with this.

Spoke to David this morning, if you want this title I'd really encourage you to go to intellivision.us and sign up for the newsletter, at which time you let him know that you want a copy of DK Arcade as I believe that might end up being the only way to buy one. The demand for this is understandably pretty high and I suspect it'll sell out on pre-order or pretty close to it. Looks like pre-orders will be taken around July 20th with the games hopefully being shipped late August/early September.
