Donkey Kong Arcade on 12 different platforms - Comparison (Part 2/2)

- How low can ports get?
Greetings, people! With the combination of inspiration from summ22's "Street Fighter 2 on 11 different platforms comparison" video and Donkey Kong fever returning to a new height thanks to Retro Studios' efforts on his return with Donkey Kong Country Returns, I have compiled nearly all ports ever made of the arcade game that started it all in two parts, which showcase all versions of 25m for your comparison pleasure.
The only ports you won't find in this compilation are direct arcade/NES emulations (Donkey Kong 64, the original Animal Crossing, GBA (Classic NES series, in case you forgot its existence) and Virtual Console) and the MSX version (which I couldn't find a download of).
So which version do you think looks, sounds and plays best/worst? Why did Nintendo outsource a bunch of the ports to Atarisoft or Ocean instead of someone more competent? Discuss!
Part 1: • Donkey Kong Arcade on ...
1982 -- Atari 2600
1982 -- Intellivision
1982 -- ColecoVision
1983 -- NES
1983 -- Commodore 64 (Atarisoft)
1986 -- Commodore 64 (Ocean)
1983 -- DOS
1983 -- Apple II
Part 2:
0:00 - 1983 -- Commodore VIC-20
0:46 - 1983 -- Texas Instruments TI-99/4A
1:53 - 1983 -- Atari 8-bit computers
2:50 - 1986 -- Amstrad CPC
4:26 - 1986 -- ZX Spectrum (You can clearly see Mario's ass when he climbs a ladder. Ugh. Also, his walk reminds me of Jet Set Willy somehow.)
5:41 - 1988 -- Atari 7800
Bonus: 6:45 - 2008 -- Somewhere in an alternate dimension in Japan where the time cracks of Doctor Who have taken on the form of a delicious blue/green cow, there's a series waiting to hijack EVERYTHING...
All footage is self-recorded.
2:48 Donkey Kong is depressed
RetroAsgardian Pixelhammer he needs some zolft
@Harry Warburg He's doing that to keep him away, not cause he enjoys it.
but at the time, this was the best version of the game...had all 4 levels, and for a home port it was the first time for this
You Mean Konkey Dong.
He miss candy kong
5:46 The second best intro song
I thought the 7800 was more capable than that.
My. EARS!!!!!
MY EYES!!
MY NOSE!
@@commentator9134 graphically yes, but it has the same sound chip as the 2600
2:59 Mario looks like a high blood pressure mustache bean in a suit
I think waluigi wears jumpmans suit.
Its like its his original Head ill say?
Is the original Donkey Kong box art
The Amstrad CPC is very powerfull
no
Take a drink every time the port goes straight to the original version's fourth level.
AFAIK, he level sequence was revised to 1,4,1,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,1,3,4... or something like that for the American release, so one will see the conveyor level only after beating the final level twice. I have played Crazy Kong as a kid here in Germany, and the level sequence was 1,2,3,4 - I suppose the Donkey Kong level sequence was the same here.
Depends on the version; the NES, for example, goes 1-3-4 no matter what.
@@natnew32 It misses the pie stage, even for Nes Mini.
In terms of greatness,
Commodore VIC-20: 2
TI: 3
Atari 8 bit computer: 3
Amstrad CPC: 40
ZX Spectrum: 0
Atari 7800: 4
Kana Kong: -4,000,000 (negative 4 million) because its a ripoff
and they even insulted their own company trolololololol

The zx spectrum has the most jumpman ass one could wish for lol
4:42 I don't know if that's Donkey Kong anymore!
Lmao probably not
the atari 7800 version hurts my ears
Me too
In spite of the better graphics hardware compared to the 5200 and Atari 8 bit computers the 7800 had the same sound hardware as the 2600 and the pokey chip was optional in the cartridge. I guess this was to lower the cost of the console a bit but only lowered the price probably by $10-$20 (about the price difference between a Pokey and non Pokey game cartridge) and really didn't make much sense.

You clearly haven’t seen the ZX spectrum.
Wow…the ZX Spectrum version is by far the worst version of the game EVER MADE.
Nathan Walker Ain't that the truth.
GameBot 2000 Actually, The DOS version is the 1st Worst Version, While the ZX Spectrum Version is the 2nd Worst Version.
AGREED
apple 2 version and dos version are simillar in versions
Nathan Walker not as bad as Sonic 06
when that texas instruments port came on I was thinking "it ran on a calculator?!" forgetting the fact that TI also made computers.
why the sprite work for the ZX version looks like some pixel art that 7 year old me would do on ms paint?

Kana kong: rip off
VIC 20 version was impressive as the VIC 20 has no hardware support for sprites
1:55 Donkey Kong is sad
Agreed
his emo phase thats why... :(
Yeah (~_~)
Kana Kong, despite being a hack, is still better than all those creepy ports.
Vocaloid kong

@supermariosunshine64
How many times must I repeat this? As I said in previous months-old comments here, I did not include the GB "version" because it's in fact a completely new and unique game of its own after the initial four levels.
The TI-99 DK is suprisingly good.
And I thought the DOS version's Donkey Kong was scary...
VIC-20 was nightmare fuel
vic 20 looks cute for me (i have no idea why)
There was also a Game and Watch version and a mini arcade version. Those tabletop mini arcade games were so popular back in the 80s. And don't forget the various clones such as "Crazy Kong" and even "King Kong" himself for the Atari 2600.
If we're counting knockoffs, there'd probably have to be a nine part series dedicated to the C64 alone!
@SCBianchi
It's a Touhou-themed ROM hack of the NES version.
@ClassicTVMan1981X
Then again, I've never heard of the Coleco Adam Super Game 'till you mentionned it right now!

Oh, my goodness! What is that at 4:42!? It looks hideous!
Behold the ZX spectrum.
@johneymute
As I said in the video's description and previous comments: the Game Boy game is a completely new adventure after the four arcade levels prologue, the Game & Watch game is too divergent to be condisered a straight-up port, and the GBA version is just the NES version on a squashied screen frame.
3583 bytes free......wow
REGAMETRO Apollo 11 ran on like, 6 kilobytes. A song on your phone is usually around 3 megabytes.
I'll never see Donkey Kong the same again...
@KMerrow
Clearly, that incarnation's "best" sprite is when you beat the stage, where he gives the impression of having eaten Pauline in the blink of an eye.
0:25 Is that a Diamond Pickaxe?
@SonicandInuyasha
Indeedy. I did plan on showing the GBA release, but I thought a stretched screen wasn't worth being the only difference for an official NES emulation so I just threw a hack as a bonus ending.
Missed Donkey Kong'98
The ZX Spectrum version is way more cursed than the one from DOS.
I think the beginning of Donkey Kong '94 was too good to put in a video with the dreaded ZX Spectrum version.
What about gameboy donkey kong
As I watch each variation of this game, I descend further into madness.
I used to have an Amstrad CPC. I never had the genuine Donkey Kong on it, but I had a clone called Killer Gorilla, which was pretty enjoyable, if ugly (at least it included all four levels, unlike a lot of ports in this vid).
6:49 I Returned to this video after six years. Now I understand the Touhou Hijack. I have descended even further into madness since those days.
@MarkTheMorose
Nope, I'm Canadian.
And then there's the Game Boy "Port" which turns into a completely new game after the first 4 stages.
@EdgoIsGo
As I said in previous comments, if you're talking about the first four levels, it's not a port; it's a completely new game after the beginning.
Damn Mario you got some Fries with that Shake GODDAMN
@SonicandInuyasha
Not just that, but you can clearly see Mario's ass when he climbs ladders in that version.
Didn't know the people that made my schools calculators made a computer! And it had Donkey Kong?
Amstrad…. Good God that distortion.
Makes everything sound so much more sinister lmfaoo. Especially the beginning jingle.
I LOVE it. ♥️💯
3:04 my favourite intro
so epic
Aaaghh MY EARS
ZX Spectrum wins best looking port.
Space Titanium I hope you’re joking
Is sarcasm?
angelGAMER999 I think so
Just look at jumpman's fine ass
I guess you missed the Atari 8-bit version.
3:26 no one else sees wario's face when he barely leaves the barrel?
What do you mean his face?
@Mariofreakman
A quick search says it's a homebrew. I don't count those.
ZX Spectrum looks like a creepy-pasta.
4:43 OH MY FUCKING GOD, Donkey Kong, Eater of Souls.
I suppose it's fair to say that all the ports give the 'essentials' of Kong, though of course there are large variations between the more- and less-capable systems. Some surprises: how off-key the Spectrum version's sound was; similarly the Atari 7800; how the VIC-20 version didn't look at all bad, considering. The Amstrad CPC version looked quite accurate, and even seemed to have a sampled tune at the start. Given the CPC and Spectrum are listed, are you a British gameplayer?
Holy fuck, did the people who made the soundtrack for the 7800 version even listen to it themselves? I'd rather there be no sound than whatever they made here. That noise sounds like something you could use to torture someone with.
The 7800 used the 2600 sound chip.
That's no excuse. They should've used fewer sounds or different sound effects rather than putting something in there that tries to imitate the original but instead sounds like an audio nightmare. For example, eliminate Mario's walking/climbing noise completely (never was a huge fan of it in the original either, to be honest, but here it's so much worse).
True. The 7800 did have the ability to have audio chips on the cart. Of course that would have driven up the cost of the game.
It's loud...
vic 20: respectabletandy: wtf is this?zx spectrum:... why bother?
I don't know if gosub works correctly. I can't program anything else with it because I get an undefined statement error
is there a problem? all I said was gosub doesn't work correctly

A whopping 3.5K RAM left.
It has 5K of RAM, but the rest of the memory is used for functions of the system.

Aweh, poor DK looks really sad/depressed on the Atari 8-bit version :c
djbandagegirl he’s gay and lost his husband. Then went drunk and insane.
Why are the barrel physics on Kana Kong so realistic and polished
I like the sound of the hammer destroying barrels on the atari 8 bit computers
Danny: 3:04 sounds like hell and even DK!
Where's the Amiga version?
+uriituw yeah, and that version was actually quite good.
+SailorNeptune It had cool easter egg, Pauline clothes disappeared as time foes down.
Yeah i know xD
@ClassicTVMan1981X I'll see what I can do. But, as I said, it's basically the Spectrum 48K game with the Amstrad CPC version's sounds (same sound chip and everything).
Who thought that the last one was a good idea? Those silly Touhou fans...
0:41 Bass boost sound effect
his teeth tho
What about the Game & Watch versions?
2:50 It's Amstrad CPC, Baby!
2:05 in this version your saving the mascot from Wendy's.
@DeekayX
A hunchback toad troll?
Well, it looks like those who had made the sound design in some versions had definitely no musical skills at all...
It doesn't appear in the video, but the original arcade is definitely the best. But if you want me to choose one of the 12 showed, the NES version is still the best overall, but it's shameful that there's one stage missing, and don't see the cutscenes when Donkey Kong grabs the princess and climbs the ladders, the in-between stages screen with the piled Donkey Kong's saying "How high can you get?".... The difficulty... The sound effects...
The arcade versions were always better than the console versions; I've never understood why the companies badly lacked of generosity when transporting an arcade version into a console.
The ZX Spectrum is clearly unwatchable. Horrible.
The Game Boy version said hello by the way.
What about DK64?
Didn't Nintendo release a remastered version of the NES port for people who bought a red Wii in Europe or something? It had all the stuff that was missing from the Arcade version.
It’s because arcade cabinets were more powerful than all home consoles of that time. Also some consoles, like the Atari 2600, didn’t have the graphical power. But the most ones that did sincerely tried to at least make it visually appealing. Others had bad color palettes available. Some had horrible sound systems. The pcs ran on very different hardware. All had an excuse for being worse. Though some do not have an excuse.
Even if Mario runs super fast.
Even if Donkey Kong looks like a pink demon.
It'll still be Donkey Kong for us.
4:47 Pauline’s just a fucking stick figure.
Truly nostalgic
