Video Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 That's Cool! Dk 94 had almost a hundred levels, that would be friggin sweet to see a translation of on the Atari That level's cool looking, though it also looks like it will rely FAR more on luck than skill, as the fireballs jumping from the bottome of the screen will just happen to have to miss you up to 8 times.

Technosis Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Wow, a new "foundry" level...very cool! BTW, I often wondered what the coin-op Donkey Kong would have been like with many more levels. Sort of like what we saw in Jumpman, but with the Donkey Kong type graphics and enemies. Apart from the Gameboy Donkey Kong, were there any games on the consoles, or even the PC (i.e shareware) that came close to the style of Donkey Kong, but with multiple levels? Thanks.

madhatter667 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It would be neat if someone could homebrew that for the Dreamcast, or the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Donkey Kong for the original GB had many levels and ended up resembling Mario vs DK by the end. Give it a try you can buy it for like 5 bucks loose now. Don't have an original GB you say, no problem...they cost about 5 bucks also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Need to add that to the mame cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Very cool. I'd like to see more real Donkey Kong levels. The Gameboy Donkey Kong games are good, but they're NOTHING like the real Donkey Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Is this new version of Donkey Kong actually available to play on MAME? I'd sure like to try it! Apart from the Gameboy Donkey Kong, were there any games on the consoles, or even the PC (i.e shareware) that came close to the style of Donkey Kong, but with multiple levels? There's johnnywc's Champ Kong for PC, which features the 4 arcade levels plus 4 new levels and a bonus level. (If the link doesn't work, try Googling Champ Kong, you'll find a mirror of the software somewhere else on the net). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Chuckie Egg was close I think. It had 8 levels from memory, maybe more, and was available on all home comp platforms in the early 80s - even the dragon 32 (which is what I had at the time). It was the closest thing to DK without being DK at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Havoc Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 That "5th level" of Donkey Kong was brought up last year as a possible suggestion to Eduardo's port of DK to the colecovision. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...77782&st=25 Who knows, he just might do it. Or if he includes a level editor, that would make the possibilities even more awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Looks cool. I wish he would have added another level to Kangaroo too!

jpfalcon2003 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Would be cool to have all 5 levels on a 7800 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werejag Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Would be cool to have all 5 levels on a 7800 version. there is a rom available for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph74 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 You can buy the arcade rom image from Jeff on his website. For what he put into it, it's probably worth the $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBman80 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If I ever get a Donkey Kong I will get one I have the original Mario Brothers and I plan on getting the High score save feature and free play feature offered by another web page. http://www.arcadeshop.com/mario-kit/mario-kit.htm That would be neat if he could design even more levels for the game you can really do a lot with DK. I guess Nintendo never really thought their games would have any other use other than a commercial application when they made these games to never include a free play option.

arcadebasement Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Am I the only collector who likes the purity of the original 4 levels. Sure the HS save feature is nice but beyond that I'm happy with the original. My Ms Pacman/galaga anniversary cab has all sorts of bells and whistles -fast pacman, rapid fire etc but I've NEVER even tried them. I don't want 'lucas' style revisions - just the game I played 25 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your reference to Dk 94 to the gameboy game or some other game? I've never personally seen a true Donkey Kong game with 100 levels but that would be amazing. Maybe for the 50th anniversary of Nintendo Donkey Kong they can make one with 50 legitimate levels 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
