Donkey Kong | Arcade & Atari 2600 Game Review | Episode 01
Has Gary Kitchen seen this?
Garry Kitchen recently said in an interview that it wasn't sabotaged. If he was given limitless ROM size, he still couldn't have done more given the time constraint. It had to be in stores in Sept, so he had a May deadline. He said he could have done all four levels, given an 8K cart AND more time.
Yep, I saw the interview and really, it was the most logical of all the guesses out there... business. 🤪
Meatwad!!!!!!!
Love this video... and the history of ancient Olympics was cool as well. In the beginning, I was wondering if I might had clicked on the wrong video... ha ha😂
When it comes to the various Atari 2600 VCS versions of Donkey Kong I already have the original Coleco Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600 which I like playing, but I was not really satisfied with it being missing two of the arcade levels. Having watched your video I believe that I would like to have the Donkey Kong Arcade version for my Atari 2600. I don't care for the scrolling up and down the screen like on the Donkey Kong VCS version. What I do like is that Donkey Kong Arcade and Donkey Kong VCS both have all four screen levels like the original Nintendo Donkey Kong coin-op arcade video game has. I might buy the Harmony cartridge some time in the near future, but for now I will have to rely upon playing the various versions on my Stella emulator program for my Windows PC.
Having only two levels in the original 2600 DK also bothered me. I am glad it also bothered people who could program the 2600 and remedy it! Enjoy all the levels!
The Atari VCS version is sooooooo cool. I even like the vertical scrolling aspect; it’s both an interesting innovation as well as a clever workaround. I really admire the creative ingenuity that the team put behind this version. Oh, the Gingerbread monster 😂
I personally don’t like the vertical scrolling BUT it does minimize flicker and it also shows the status bar scrolling with mario,it really shows what the 2600 is really capable off👍
As always, the original arcade is the ONLY version that should ever be contemplated. ;)
Always annoying when someone makes a version of the game and changes the order just to show that they KNOW it was originally supposed to be that way. Doesn't matter what it was going to be. You are still not making a faithful reproduction. Unless you are making a Crazy Kong port.
Found a boxed words Attack , what could be the value of it ?
Not sure... but I know when a boxed version of Air Raid was finally found, it went for $30,000. Your mileage may vary though. 😀
My parents were children of the 70s and 80s so me and my sister were always avid lovers of Atari and arcade games growing up, only now have I finally beaten all 4 stages of this game and it feels so satisfying
Great detailed video. I played heaps of Video Olympics against my brother and friends back in the day, even 4 player variations.
I like this version how do I get it
Imagine if Atari had of cared about its customers enough to put out the best versions of games they could instead of cheeping out to maximise profit short term. Thanks Atari your greed gave us Nintendo.
Dumbest comment ever. You try programming games with 128 bytes of RAM.
Very nice review of the Donkey Kong games for the VCS!
Thanks!
So level 2 is Hoth from the empire strikes back? At the end of the level up top i couldn't help but notice the ATAT Walker and snow speeder... Lol
Yeah, with the snow speeder and ATAT walkers, Santa must be wandering around Hoth! :)
What a nice Christmas game!
Some have made claims that this contributed to the crash. It makes sense at face value; it is a poorly made game designed to cash in on the gaming craze, but then logic is applied. Not a single shop stocked copies, and it had low sales and production. The unsuccessful selling strategy also resulted in most copies getting destroyed. As such, it's one of the rarest and most valuable Atari VCS/2600 games.
Ive not heard any claims about this particular game. You come to expect and avoid companies like Mythicon and Froggo... but when you cant trust titles from Atari itself (like Pac-Man), then you have ruined customer confidence.
@@ReviewAtari2600 I knew someone who lived in Canada when Atari was big and he played Pac-Man on it once in a while. I remember asking him if he didn't like it, and he said it was amazing the Atari could do a Pac-Man game, so he didn't care if it wasn't exactly like the arcade original. In comes the Ms. and Jr. sequels, and Atari proves you can make a faithful conversion on such limited hardware. I did find the flickering in Ms. Pac-Man more intrusive though.
Nice video, cool homebrew, and awesome gameplay! Will be including a recommendation, and a link to your video on my channel's review video Sunday.
Thanks, glad you like it. :) I am hoping I find time to do another one this year.
@@ReviewAtari2600 will be looking forward to it! Remember consistency is one of the key elements of a successful channel.
@@bmkretrogaming7634 Yeah, understood. A bit difficult when you work full-time and are not monitized. I am planning on a Christmas one though, so fingers crossed. :)
I'm quite sure I've seen the arcade machines that say "How high can you try?" In fact I questioned why some of them said one thing and others said another thing. Maybe it was a change made to take away from the idea of "How high can you get?", which obviously sounds like you are talking about something else.
Donkey Kong VCS is visually beautiful, but the Donkey Kong arcade version is far more accurate to the arcade in many ways. Sure, it's not as visually nice, but simply fantastic and incredible when considering that it was created via basic.
I agree. The big advantage is the whole screen viewable at once. I still find it amazing to think it was done with Basic.
Such DK versions on hardware that was designed never to do this is simply astounding.
"This little ending animation tune" is the main theme from Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant"!
Wow... you are so right, there is no hiding that is the same tune... all 17 minutes worth! Thanks for the comment. 😀
Always thought it had lots of levels, smh
You should review Pac Man, E.T., and other games that caused the Video Game Crash of '83. That would be nice.
Yep, I do eventually intend to review those and many other titles... Pac-Man will be a BIG one to cover, so many variations in the homebrew community.
Great review :)
Thanks Atari Dude! 😀
Never heard of it!
Mission accomplished! :) I like to review for everyone rarely known or heard of games! :)
About to get this game tomorrow
I had this one at the time... got a lot of play from it.
@@ReviewAtari2600 😎
If they want to make sure they don't offend any over sensitive"woke" folks, they'll add an option to play Mario in Pauline's dress and another to play Pauline in Mario's overalls.
I'm sorry to disagree with you but the Atari 2600 Donkey Kong wasn't good. It sucked. It was one of the worst versions of Donkey Kong that has ever been made. The Atari 8 bit computer Donkey Kong was much better. Donkey Kong for the Atari 8 bit computer was a must have game but the Atari 2600 version should've been thrown in the trash. The Atari 2600 version of Donkey Kong Junior sucked as well.
informative video. 3 of the Sancho games where released over here in Australia under the John Sands brand. Exoset was Exoset Missile, Skin Diver was Aquatak and Seahawk was Seahawk.
Thanks for watching! Great additional information, another piece of the puzzle. I guess we must also not forget Zellers who also licensed/pirated some of those same ones as well. I am really sort of surprised they all made their own boxes and instructions as if it was their own creations.
Neat video. I've never heard of this game or Sancho outside of your other video on Forest.
I find the lesser known titles and companies fascinating to research, and hopefully others find it interesting too. Thanks for watching the channel! :)
I wonder why the US version had the levels the wrong way around?
For what i know,back then they had to create the graphics by knowing exactly how the raser beem gun of a tv works by telling the beam wich pixel to generate at wich color and at wich moment,same thing for sprites, so you can imagine how hard and boring that must have be to do so, I don’t know if theres software today wich could automatically convert backgrounds & sprites automatically into co.ordinated signals for the tia chip,but if so then it should be nowadays much easier to make atari 2600 g ames unlike back in the day and adding extra rom and ram into the cartride should allow better graphics to be possible on the atari 2600😁
Played this heaps back in the day, especially 2 player on the ice tracks, lots of fun.
The ice tracks are a lot of fun.
Informative video, keep up the great work :)
Thanks Atari Girl!
Check out Mark Dice and Sarah Corriher The Crusader Gal
Go mario
id like the music if you would shut the fuck up while its playing.
Awesome series!♟
Thanks so much!
Loved this game so much as a 5 year old. The sounds are unique.
Great video. I'm really loving the series so far. I never had this one as a kid, but I do remember seeing the arcade version.
Thanks! II am trying this series as there is not that much info on it in one location.
I played this game heaps back in the day, especially all the 2 player variations.
This is a much more interesting title for the two-player variations.
Great review
Thanks... it's appreciated Atari Girl!
i played this when it came out in 82...my favorite year of all time....lloved it then ...love it now....
great video!
Thanks!
Ultimate classic
This is an addictive homebrew, great review :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Very nice graphics and cute puppy. And this is made only for 3 days Wow!
I enjoy your channel. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you very much and Merry Christmas.
When I was in JHS, we used to play the hell out of Space Invaders. Used to have contests and all the weird 2-player/co-op options were just a blast though it did leave to a few punched arms here and there.
Yep, will be going through all those crazy variations on the full review video.
