@Luigi84289 No the Donkey Kong port made by Atarisoft was the first to have all four stages intact. the Ocean version(seen here) just had the how high can you get between level scene which was missing from the Atarisoft version.
It also has much less accurate music for some reason. Not as bad as the Apple II version (where all the music is hideously off-key), but it still sounds more like the composer heard *of* the arcade game's songs instead of actually hearing them.
Nintendo could have added it if they chose to but they were being cheap cutting corner to save as much money as possible. Nintendo wants to make sure they last in the gaming industry. They are doing a great job at it. Quality games consist of having all levels though. No excuse to have missing stages in donkey kong when super mario bro was a bigger game.
Back then i always wondered why atari didn't just make commodore a home video game. It had so much potential. It was ahead of it's time in many ways. Having arcade graphics that bested coleco by a feel notches including 5200 at least until commodore amiga showed up. It also rivaled nes.
Atari did make "Atarisoft" versions of their most popular video games for all sorts of home computers in the mid-'80s, including the C64. This is not the Atarisoft version. I have the Atarisoft Collection for the C64, and its Donkey Kong is completely different (and much BETTER) than this!
Theres 2 versions. This was the European one developed and published by Ocean Software in 1986. You are probably referring to the cartridge version that plugs into the keyboard of your Commodore 64, which was released in 1984 by Atarisoft.
Gutwrenching nonsensical pun from the first comment! So yeah anyways, what the hell? I played a completely different version of this game on the 64..where's all the animation? :D
Very late reply but, you most likely played the Nintendo manufactured C64 version, which is clunkier and slower than this one which is the C64 Ocean versión.

It's Covid and I'm watching games I used to play 30 years ago. Guess life ain't that bad.
This has to be the most accurate version of Donkey Kong next to the arcade!
What is creepypasta 75 m 2:19
i loved this version on the c64. At the time it was the best port available!!!!

atleast this is closer to the gameplay of the original arcade game than the NES one that didn't even have all the levels
WOuld have been icing on the cake to allow mario to have hammer at very top to cluck ole kongo upside the head and then him fall head first! LOL
This is one rare version to feature the pie factory. If only the NES version featured that it would be more of a classic.
The Lonely Goomba would rejoice if the NES included the Pie Factory
cool i love commodore and this version has good graphics and has the pie factory NES eat your heart out

when jump man (mario) runs it sounds like the opening to Clue.
@gamebuyer22
yep,but the intros are missing.

i thought the colecovision version was closest to the arcade game

Do you now, mate?
Not better they are both bad in their own ways
Great gameplay, my friend!
This might sound weird , but pay attention to the tittle art, trust me you'l catch my drift. 0:11
Its part of the charm, though ^^
Okay okay. No need to be hasty. BTW,is that a link? And also,I may have found a more accurate version. It's on the Adams computer.
@dreamcastII huh never knew that of course I would have no clue on the BBC computers since we never really got them here
wish I had more 5 1/4 disks and software for my 128 :D
@Damejro You must have played it on a PAL machine.
Interesting... this version is actually a lot different than the one I had on my C64...
its an amstrad cpc game run on a c64 computer.

@@scottythegreat1 interesting! mine came on a disk, but I was definitely not in Europe, so who knows!
This isn't the C64 version. I think it's the Amiga version. I just played the C64 version last night and this is not it.
madaracs wrong there’s 2
damn, i used to have this :O
and maybe amstrad cpc
I have the cartridge version of this on C64 it looks way better then this.
this looks like the version on gameboy
Damn those 3 color girls where hot they don't make those nowadays anymore. white brown and purple
wow this is a 2006 video
