+nanochess Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Cookie Kong vs Zombie Red. Someone has noted that Mario has a white face? Truth to be say, the two included levels are very reasonable for Atari 2600 capabilities, specially taking in account the diagonal floors of level 1, although sprite bitmaps/colors could have been done better.

+wongojack Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Barrel Bear I didn't play this game at all "back in the day" and the first time that I saw it in emulation, I was shocked at how much it just didn't look like a gorilla. However, once you play it, you figure out that its a pretty good version of DK for the 2600. If they just could have done something about the shocking moment of seeing DK for the first time, it wouldn't be such a big deal. Maybe if it was called something like "DK Archives" that would prepare players to expect something less than what they are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameGirl420 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 There's no need to rename this imo, it is Donkey Kong plain and simple. A rather crude version but still DK. Now the INTV version on the other hand should be renamed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Gingerbread Man, Mario, and the Chocolate Chip Cookies. And I do like this game, and liked it back in the day too. I was upset at first that it didn't have the third and fourth boards, but got over it once I played it on the Atari 800. You have to have a different strategy for this one compared to other versions, which makes it uniquely 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) This is easy! Considering the quality of the game, especially compared to Coleco's version, you should call it... "Gorilla My Dreams" EDIT: Whoops, I saw "Donkey Kong VCS" and thought you were brainstorming for names for the new Donkey Kong port.

WildBillTX Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Ripoff Kong I just wonder how Gary Kitchen wound up at Coleco.. wasnt he happy at Activision or was he doing freelance work by then? Anyway My brother bought Coleco Donkey Kong new in 1982-3. I remember thinking it looked lousy and it played too easy. And after seeing what Colecto did to Zaxxon for the 2600 at a store demonstation (I think it was at one of those Imagic Kiosks at TG&Y or K-Mart) that turned me off from buying any Coleco 2600 games until they were being discounted cheap by the mid-late 80's. My favorite was Carnival. Edited November 10, 2013 by WildBillTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Rather it just stays as Donkey Kong, but you could always do: D0NKEY K0NG (Keeping it all uppercase letters with zeros replacing O's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+darryl1970 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Rather it just stays as Donkey Kong, but you could always do: D0NKEY K0NG (Keeping it all uppercase letters with zeros replacing O's) Always thought Atari should have gotten the right to do a home version of "Crazy Kong". They could have re-released the 8-bit version for the 5200 and won the war! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Famous programmer Garry Kitchen did an excellent job doing Donkey Kong for the VCS (there was nothing purposefully trashed, that's not even a myth), you can read the interview in 2600 Collection The lost interview with Garry Kitchen, here on AA. Say....where can this interview be found??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Say....where can this interview be found??? And if the ROM from the afformentioned VCS DK port still exists, I would like to see it. Surely they weren't using 32kb and Super Chips back then.
