I used to like me some Donkey Kong. Heck, just post the Coleco Adam version as a Virtual Console game some afternoon. It was the best and purest of the home versions (except in the video DK seems to go to the right at the beginning when it seems like if I remember right he actually goes to the left). Better graphics than the NES version, all the stages, and the opening cinema scene. Too bad I was only able to play it and use the Adam that I received for Christmas for two hours that holiday before my Adam broke and my parents decided to take it back to the store to be replaced by a PC Jr. Also Adam games had cool packaging. Donkey Kong was on a tape that came in a miniature replica of the arcade cabinet.
I tried to find a pic of the tape and arcade cabinet shaped box but was unable to do so. I could probably get some good money out of them now if I had never opened it. I still have Galaxian, Pac-Man Mini Arcade models. And, a great Tron handheld from another company.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
