After watching the old comparison video years ago, I tried searching it up again and come across this.

It's official, my friends! Donkey Kong gets a Let's Compare remake treatment it deserves!

Oh my god that final one was legitimately the NES game, but with the screen oriented on its side. That's nuts. I only realized it when I saw everything flickering from top to bottom and not left to right. It's crazy how at the start of the NES' life cycle that NES port along with the other launch title arcade ports were so basic and then by the end of it there was Kirby's Adventure

@GamingHistorySource

The flicker probably could have been minimized if The barrel stack & Pauline would have been used as background tiles instead of sprites. Just a thought.

I remember watching the original video when I was much younger. The second I saw this in my recommended, nostalgia hit me like a truck.

It's kind of shocking how good the Amstrad version looks. Most of what I've seen of Amstrad games (from British KZreadrs, I'm an American and never owned one) has been lousy ports of Spectrum games, but here we've got a conversion that outdoes most of its contemporaries when it comes to including all the levels, animations, and little touches from the arcade version.

Scheduled for work tomorrow so might not get to stay through the whole premiere. But I will try & pop in to say hi. :)

Colecovision Super Donkey Kong is Prototype

The Pico-8 version just missed the cut off for this video it looks like - it came out the following week.

Simply mind blowing! Donkey Kong rocks!

The music for some of these is just wild. The original MS-DOS & Apple II port was hilarious, whereas some like one of the Atari 7800 versions made me want to stab Q-Tips in my ears

“Nice!” -Lady, unused voiceline from Donkey Kong (Arcade)

My recommendation on the old video on my old deleted account is finally coming full circle!

I LOVED the C64 (Nintendo) and Amstrad version. With both being a close second, you know you gotta go with the classic Arcade. I love all 3 versions either way. :)

I always wondered why the Atari 7800 version had worse sound than the Atari 2600 version. The two systems had the same audio hardware, wouldn't it have made sense to just port over the sounds from the 2600 version?

@GamingHistorySource

Жыл бұрын

The 2600 version was made by Coleco. The 7800 version was produced by Atari. But seeing what the home brewers were able to do it looks as if Atari applied the same strategy they were always known for. Just pushing half finished crap out the door.

I played most of these ports and versions of the game

That Nintendo Switch version that you didn't show is the best handheld version of the game since it's the arcade version. I've had it on my Switch for over 5 years now. The funkiest version is the Atari 7800 version with its smart fireballs that run away when Mario has the hammer. It's droll to see.
