Goochman Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I wrote a nice plug about DOnkey Kong on the usenet boards many moons ago - Landon wrote me an email from that with a few comments about the game - Unfort lost due to a HD crash the few things noted were: 1. The cart version is not the final one - there were a few more fixes that didnt make it 2. When Mario dies the chars overlap - this was one of the things fixed 3. No matter how he scrunched it the first board didnt look right with another level to the girder/tower 4. Landon worked alot on the smoothness of Mario's jumps - something about spending lots of time tweaking to algorithm to just it perfect Thats all I remember - I was surprised I got a msg!

If you did a certain combination of moves then died his initals would appear in the Level/Score box. Landon doesn't remember how to trigger them though. I don't remember hearing about another version of DK though, I'd be interested in hearing more about what was fixed. Landon was very willing to talk, he's a nice guy.

Goochman Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 From what I remember the 'death' Mario looked better in the later revision - like many software houses you never know which one will hit the 'gold' release - The one with the fixed death sequence didnt IIRC - Mario is a bit scrunched at the end of the commercial bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
