oo7 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I plan to play and finish Donkey Kong next. I dont remember ever finishing it. Will attempt this weekend. Currently still playing 5200 centipede but sucking drastically lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I'm too A.D.D to just stick with one "currently playing" game at a time. I have about a dozen "every day" titles that slowly change over weeks or months. Donkey Kong, the improved "hack" version of the original, 'Donkey Kong Arcade' is one of them. I think I finished Donkey Kong once...the original cartridge version. Donkey Kong Arcade.xex Edited March 17, 2021 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The V-Man Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I've been playing Bounty Bob Strikes Back and Miner lately. Forgot most of the levels, had to re-learn it all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark2008 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I love Donkey Kong. The other game I was recently introduced to, was disco pop. The last time I sat down to "find a good game" - Dr. Mario stood out, it was quite fun. I suppose if I count games I was looking at for porting, I was playing a dice game "pig", I wrote a quick Atari basic port of "Poison". Well I didn't actually port it from anything, I just based the game on the description, I think I found in creative computing. They used to describe irl games as ideas, without providing the code, which was kind of a cool idea. Poison is a learning game that teaches "unfairness"...not entertaining at all, of course.

Sinjinhawke Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Bosconian. So fun. Quick question. How does one finish Donkey Kong? Doesn't it just continue to loop through the levels until you lose? I'm probably missing an inside joke here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just joking around, I did a quick google search, and screen 117 is a kill screen, whether because of a bug...they say it is the last screen. Presumably they are discussing the arcade version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I also was thinking how could you finish a continuous game.. There's 3 games I rarely play, Galaxians, Pac Man and Donkey Kong, the reason, finding arcade cabinets in every fish and chip shop etc etc back in the day, I got fed up of seeing them...(I was also rubbish at all of them) Might have a game of spelunker now..

oo7 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I guess i should of been more clear lol I play many games at a time as well but tend to pick the odd title and focus on beating it the odd time. Ive been told the a8 one has a kill screen I dont recall ever making it that is what I plan to accomplish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) When I said I'd "finished" Donkey Kong, I personally meant I'd made it through all the screens/levels, that's what I consider as finishing it because I've seen it all. I assumed that's what @oo7 meant as well. The only games I consider "unfinishable" are the early arcade games like Space Invaders, Galaxian, Asteroids, etc. since there is no additional screens. I consider Pac-man "unfinishable" for the same reason, but Ms. Pac-man has different mazes so I'd consider myself "finishing" it if I made it through all the different mazes until they repeat.

Beeblebrox Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 @rdefabriI am planning on tackling RGB too. I had a quick play earlier this year but hadn't really read the rules of play which is rather important! (Too stoopid to figure it out on my own heh heh!) It looks like a very challenging and fun game and as a bonus the graphics and colour it's creators have managed to pull into it is fantastic. (I'd love to see more A8 platform games adopt these very technique's to pull these colours into their games. (Lemmings revisit anyone? ) My rather poor memory skills means I'll keep having to revisit the rule book for the colour combos. Objective Your task is to eliminate all robots in a level by deactivating their RGB components. To deactivate a component, shoot at the robot with a missile that has the colour you want to deactivate. For example, to deactivate a red robot, shoot at him with a red missile; to deactivate a cyan robot, shoot at him with a blue missile and then a green missile (or vice versa); to deactivate a white robot, shoot at him with red, green and blue missiles consecutively in any order. You can change your missiles' colour at the recalibrators or by picking up certain bonuses. Available colour combinations: Cyan = Blue + Green Magenta = Red + Blue Yellow = Red + Green White = Red + Green + Blue Manual and game here for anyone who missed this one: Other than this I often power up Flob which is an astonishingly good game: https://bocianu.atari.pl/blog/flob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
