Donkey Kong Land (GB) buggy?

[StanJr]

I've been playing Donkey Kong Land for the original Game Boy on the GB Color and the sprites are waaaay buggy sometimes. It's only the sprites and they tend to dither all over the place. DK and Jr are the worst, but barrels and baddies will succumb occasionally as well.

 

Anyone else notice this or know why it is?

Mine does this too, but only for the Sprites of DK and Diddy. At first I figured the cart was a bit dirty, but I cleaned the hell out of it to no avail...

 

Great game tho

Is that game the same as donkey kong country. How can they fit that game into a gamboy cart??!!

[figgler]

They did manage to port DKC over to GameBoy Color at one point, but we're talking about DK Land which is a separate game. It uses the same gameplay and dumbed down 8 bit versions of DKC's visuals but has all new levels and worlds. It is to Donkey Kong Country what Super Mario Land 2 was to Super Mario World for example

still very impressive what they were able to do with it!

[figgler]

Yeah damn straight. DKL 2 ad 3 are even better IMO, visually anyway. These games have Super GB borders too Stan if you have one

I have been meaning to get one, but I just haven't gotten to it. But this might influence me further...

I played the original DK Land for the Gameboy and found it to be difficult due to the sprites, which seemed difficult because they seem indistinct on the GB screen and hard to make out.

I really miss my DKL games I had one and two when they were new but sold them to buy a game boy color, what a mistake that was. I love the game boy color but at the time I played my B&W games way more.

Yeah, I tried playing DKL on the Gamebrick but it was way too hard to see the sprites and stuff. It is MUCH better on the Color.

Hell even on the pocket the improvement is huge.
