@@JackieChiles007 The Gold Mine here. It was dark and noisy. And if a machine ate your quarter, you'd have you to the back office and knock on the window. An extremely annoyed looking college student would come out with a set of keys, unlock the machine, give you a credit, and then go back to doing nothing. Good times.
Imagine hearing 50+ arcade machines around you making similar but different sounds, music and voices ("I hunger!") and you'll be about halfway back to the 80s. Hair and clothing will take you the rest of the way.
I was born in 1971, and I have a lot of nostagilic memories of playing these games back in the early 80s, but then I remember I never had the quarters to play very much during that time, so most of my time in the arcade was spent watching other people play. I remember there was this one kid who asked the change guy for $5.00 worth of quarters, and I was thinking that this kid must be rich.
As a child of the 80s, I spent all my pocket money in this machine. In the treadmill level, if you stand all the way to the right on the second floor and jump out of the picture to the right, you are in the next level.
I was born in 1993, how were 1980s arcades the best? I am just curious. Is it because more people used to hang around arcades...families and stuff...and play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong?
@@ArranVid every person prefers the era they were born around, it has to do with their cherished memories around that point & a healthy dollop of nostalgia
@@pumagination Yep. I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, so I have a lot of nostalgic memories of that time, but I would never want to go back to the games of that time. I like modern computers and games too much.
@@ArranVid I was born in 1975....ehhh, 80s hated school, but awesome time for tv show, Saturday morning cartoons and bicycle riding for me in the country and MTV.....today, gamers go out killing ppl cause they think they can hit the reset button like on a game console....till reality hits when their sitting in a state penitentiary with other life inmates like an idiot getting the rectum reamed out by big slong dong Johnson and his 15 friends
Also, level three and four have the correct level order, which is pretty interesting, since the rest of the levels are completely out of order and random, in the Japanese set of Donkey Kong the levels are in perfect order and it always Loops the same level order every time, in the US set sometimes the levels are out of order, sometimes they are not, the reason why. Is probably just because Nintendo of America is a different company than Nintendo of japan. Because in the Japanese sets, there is a glitch where if you're on the first ladder and you hold right and jump at the same time you can fall through the floor and glitch through the top and skip the first stage all together, there are also a few glitches where if you're touching the girders the barrels will never roll down on you, this is most likely due to the fact that the Japanese boards were a modification of Nintendo's classic failure, radar scope. The first ever cabinets designed in japan, kind of looked similar to Midway cabinets. And when it came time to release them in the US they were just conversions of radar scope, which were red cabinets.
Fun fact, the US set of Donkey Kong has 22 level rotations, just like the Japanese version, the levels are just out of order. On level 22 you will get killed for no reason, it's called The Kill screen, it's just a glitch in the programming and it's an interference with the bonus timer on the right. The numbers go out of order then start counting upward and downward then downward again, which messes up the game, Nintendo admits that it was just a glitch.
This guy makes it look easy, but it's way harder than it looks. This game requires lots of practice, which must have been expensive back in the day considering 25 cents was worth a lot more back then. I beat this last night so I watched this video to confirm that I did indeed play all the levels.
I can't count the number of quarters I spent playing '80's vid games back in the day. There was a place called "The Time Zone" in old town Sacramento back in the 80"s that I zoned out at!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a kid in the 1980s, I spent a lot of time watching people play this game in the arcades, and I almost never saw anyone get as far as the conveyor belt level. A lot of people did not even know that it existed. If someone managed to beat the first elevator level we thought they were a good player. I also recall that there were printed books containing pattern diagrams that showed how to beat each level. Of course, simply knowing the pattern was not enough, you had to be good enough to execute it.
I like how the US Version makes you unlock Pie Factory (50m) and Elevator (75m) by reaching Lvl 2 (Elevator) & Lvl 3 (Pie Factory), as if the where bonus Stage's.
That is a retcon made by the Rare company. Miyamoto, the Donkey Kong creator himself, didn't agree with the retcon and I am sure that deep down inside he considers red tie new DK to be the same as 1981 DK.
As a man who has worked with BILLIONS of pounds of 55 gallon barrels and drums I can confirm getting hit by one won't end well! A 55 gallon barrel is actually 59.5 gallons and weighs nearly 450lbs with most fluids and since it's a liquid it's going to hit with a lot of force! So Mario getting killed is a serious possibility! Years ago I worked at a place called Panhandle Containers and one of our 18wheelers wrecked and tipped over and we had nearly 200 plastic barrels scattered across the highway with everything from diesel exhaust fluid, potable water, oil, pesticides, and even dush soap and candy apple concentrate! It was a miracle no one got hurt! We had to have the cops, fire dept and the hazmat chemical clean up guys come out! The cost of it all? Nearly 800000$ gone! Take weighted chemicals seriously lol!
@@captainamerica6315 I thought it was Pauline, because that to me does not look like Daisy, unless if that was original look, then yeah I can understand.
@@JaylaisAwesomeactually it's neither daisy or Pauline that character that you see up there on top of the gutter isn't neither of them but a whole different Mario character named lady
In the first few frames of the video a bunch of zeroes can be seen and I was able to pause at the correct moment and figured out how many zeroes are there. Their are 896 zeroes here's the equation. 28*32

I would improve the second level by making it so that you have to be on one of the sides when the ape falls (otherwise you fall too), then you climb up to meet the princess.
Mom use to scream at us. We was always playin games at the bowling alley. Late for dinner. Dad's girlfriend give us quarters to leave em alone in the van. The good old days.
It would be interesting if they made a video game similar to that one... only it would be Spiderman AND Hulk... how Hulk throws the bars and Spiderman jumps on them. saving mary jane from hulk
The colors of the radar scope donkey kongs, are slightly different from the US donkey kongs, this is not anything like Mame by the way, early versions of m a m e, look somewhat similar, but not exact. The colors of the girders are more red, the peach colors on Donkey Kong are more yellow. Etc
Tomorrow is my birthday! I'm very excited! Dad said he was going to take me to play my favorite game! I love Donkey Kong!
It has the kill screen on lvl 22
Happy birthday
Happy birthday ( ik I'm late but happy birthday for this year 🎂 🎁)

Ah the 80s were so sweet. The mall on a Friday evening at the arcade and getting McDonalds. Track and Field, Galaga and Spy Hunter consumed my life.
And my wallet.
Space Port was the name of the arcade in my mall. Those were good times.

Ah yes, Pauline the very upmost unforgettable Nintendo video game character; who used to appear in the 'Donkey Kong' cartoon series. 😀
0:35 I don’t think the arcade knew you jumped over it
nice catch, similar issue happened when trying to pick up the bonus item at 3:18
Cranky Kong was once the original Donkey Kong until years later he became old.
That is a retcon made by the Rare company. Miyamoto, the Donkey Kong creator himself, didn't agree with the retcon and I am sure that deep down inside he considers red tie new DK to be the same as 1981 DK.

Such great memories. Still remember the exact location of this when it appeared in my local arcade (Fun Time at Billerica Mall, MA circa 1981).

Great run. Makes me want to go back a few decades and eat pizza or in the gameroom of my local Pizza Hut.
