sandmountainslim Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Anyone know what the second level of Donkey Kong on the VCS is supposed to be? Maybe some strange place where you trap ducks by leaping over them? I have been curious bout this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 it was atari's attempt at making fireballs. if you played the arcade, the fireballs had faces on them, so they tried to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I always referred to the Atari 2600 Donkey Kong fireballs as two-way chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Coleco developed the game with help from one of the Kitchen brothers from Activision. Atari only acquired the rights to re-release this game (and some other games from Coleco) in the late 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Technically it is the rivet level from the arcade game. It would be a better port if the fireballs would move up and down the ladders, but oh well. You know, with all of the improved hacks/homebrews of Pac-Man that are out there, it would really be cool to see a homebrew 2600 Donkey Kong. I would love to see what kind of magic some of the talented programmers around here could do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
