"This is Donkey Kong on Atari computer, being played with a SEGA Genesis controller."
Wow... that's quite the gang bang there.
You can say that again MegaMan
And the 2600 version was put out by Coleco. I use my genesis pad on that.
Sega Nintendo Atari Coleco all comes together for my DK experience.
Maybe the best port of this immortal legend.
Yes it is. Control is extremely tight.
Nope, that belongs to the N64 version found on DK 64.
Game Boy version is awesome.
***** It added a needed dash to the game. I wish N had made an arcade version of the Game Boy version!
Colicovision was the only port to have the pie/cement factory.
Wow, this version looks pretty good. Not to mention playing a Nintendo game on an Atari platform with a Sega Genesis controller is a trinity of irony. XD
I love donkey kong because when you start it ask you "How High Can You Get?" I'm usually like "I'm pretty damn high Donkey Kong, but I'll try to get higher if you want me to".
drug addict
...and this version is has the pie factory that even the NES version misses... Cheers.
I could never get past the first level of the original arcade Donkey Kong. It's brutal man. I still love it.
I really want to get into the whole gaming computer scene. C64 and Atari Computers and stuff like that. Great review :)
Sawyer Lightsey emulating c64 can be a little difficult at first but wow there's at least 500 high-quality games easily available
Makes me wish I had an Atari computer in my collection. But I DO have Donkey Kong for...let's see...Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Intellivision, Texas Instruments Ti-99/4a, NES and...I think that's it.
One of my favorite arcade games from back in the day.
Sadly, the pie factory didn't make it to this video. That is one of the highlights of the Atari Computer version, as many console versions lacked that screen, including ColecoVision.
I love the 1:49 sign "How high can you get?" because it's 4 20 in my country
The following review has been approved by me... LIKE A BOSS!
I really hope Mark makes that noise in future reviews.
The Atari 800 version of DK is the most difficult port out of all. The same goes for DK jr. I'm uncertain why Atari decided to ramp up the difficulty on their version but it certainly makes for a challenging game.
For those that keep asking about the Pie/Cement factory, yes the A8 version has it as does every other computer port, same with the electric level of DK jr. No game console ever had either originally. Current homebrews have corrected some of those glaring omissions though.
Derek is preety good at this game. Nice review btw!
I like how it says by Nintendo on the cartridge when they had NOTHING to do with this port, not as publisher, or developer, just licensee.
This is the one where one guy made the entire port with no help from Nintendo and had to play the actual Arcade cabinet and reverse engineer the entire game. There's a whole article about it called 'Donkey Kong and Me'
I remeber trying to beat this on donkey kong 64 for the n64.... ALL I NEED WAS THAT LAST KEY!
One of the only ports with all 4 levels.
Oh man! I played this on my XEGS just yesterday!!
This game was unlockable on Donkey Kong 64.
best home port at its time. possibly all time. plays all 4 levels in proper USA order, as far as i know the only home game to do this
as far as i know the only home port with all 4 levels
I've played this in the arcades.
Thanks for posting this fun review.
Never, I repeat, NEVER try and jump the fireballs. You will almost always get burned.
Hey, Nuts & Milk! A fun little game. :)
You could try to make Mario Kart on Jaguar CD but Nintendo would wait until its finished before threatening legal action.
IMO the best Donkey Kong port is the Gameboy Classic game.
This is known to be true.
Like your reviews man. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Alan Thicke???
Imagine being able to say "I'm gonna play the new Super Smash Bros. on the Atari ST."
Loved the Coleco Version. The sounf was perfect. This one seems a little high on crack lol.
true but there was better gameplay on the atari 400/800 since it has all 4 screens in proper US order
Why is the first level backwards compared to the Arcade and NES?
Supposedly this is the best port.
Don't Cha just miss the Good Old Days of personal Computing?
Yes I Know! When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth [I played with them too]
The Atari 400 / 800, [Mylar keyboard or Regular]
The Comodore Vic 20 [Where it takes 20min. on a cassette just to load a game:
IN GLORIOUS BLACK & WHITE]
The Timex Sinclair 1000 [The do it yourself computer? Kinda]
I played on all of these and even programmed my own code in: BASIC+ :P
How come you don't get those little hammer things
Nintendo games on a non nintendo system? MIND = BLOWN!!
DOES THAT VERSION HAVE THE CONVEYOR BELT BOARD THAT ALL PORTS SEEM TO LEAVE OUT ?
YES IT DOES!
+ i reeeeeally hated that level. dont think i ever got passed it...
Colicovision has it.
So what is the Atari XE capable of besides playing games? I assume there's some sort of programming language embedded into it.
Was this actually made by Nintendo?
Many of these games (On Atari) were just licensed from Nintendo and Atari either developed it or gave it to another developer to make. It is part of the reason why the designs of the characters always vary (among other slight differences) from the Arcade original. (Well, besides being less powerful) I remember this version, and I don't remember if it was actually made by Nintendo (In fact, I think it wasn't)... it just was a very good version. (Until an arcade perfect version was able to be made on the NES)
this is a nintendo game on an atari console played with a sega controller.
this is the kind of fact that started those stuffing games into wrong consoles bits.
Doesn't anyone notice that donkey Kong is on the opposite side of the first stage
Why is the captured footage darker and less saturated?
couple reasons i can think of
1. you are seeing the image on the TV 3rd hand. first from the computer, to the tv, to the camera. so you are dealing with whatever connector CGR is using to get the image from the computer to the TV (i.e RF, composite etc which all come with their own pluses and minuses fidelity and colour saturation wise). and then filming the TV itself which will also not give a 100% accurate picture.
2. the TV settings, camera settings, ambient lighting affecting exposure
3. the capture card should be taking a direct capture from the device. it would be the most accurate.
Why is Donkey Kong sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right?.
To fit a level on the screen some versions will compress the level. The Atari 8bit version does this.
Donkey Kong for the PS4
is it the arcade ROM set
Is this the only home version with the "pie" level? Or was that another system?
Coniseur of gaming!
Your voice is pretty good. 7800 rocks the 2600
nice
I'm guessing no "pie factory"?
Also, you really should've used some hammers.
No, pie stage is included
You need to use the hammer more!
Why does Donkey Kong look sad on this version?
The gameboy version is the best one
review the Atari computers,i dont know this console?
"How high can you get?"
Hueueueueueuueeuueueueueueueueueueueueueh...
DANKY KANG
Welcome to the comments section, where I like Sega games, but I like to play them on my PlayStation 3.
I have the Intellivision version, developed by Coleco.
It's downright awful. I remember years ago reading a game magazine about Mario's appearance in every version of Donkey Kong, rated from best to worst, and the Intellivision Mario ranked as the #1 ugliest Mario ever.
EXPAND DONG
this guy memes.
Ever played contra ?
I spent 40 bucks to get Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600. I think I lied to myself thinking it was a good game. It's utter trash. Only the Coleco vision one is worth playing.
Oh come on, we all know that the NES version is the best port.
He sounds drunk! LOL!!
hes always one kind of drunk when making reviews, when he states it its because he is almost wasted.
Who's good at this game? Me.
nuts and milk
test lallallalalalallalallalallala
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
the nes version is easier and far better
40th comment woohoo YEA hey can you review the hyperkin supa boy
Huge gf.
First
Derek is preety good at this game. Nice review btw!
So what is the Atari XE capable of besides playing games? I assume there's some sort of programming language embedded into it.
The Atari XL/XE is a full blown computer line. Several programming languages, lots of hardware peripherals, productivity applications, etc.. Was quite successful.
