just a quick add to say that the box artwork is designed to fit standard RGCD deluxe cartridge boxes which you can buy as blanks from the RGCD website User Comment

McMeatLoaf: Sure, the original and the NES-ports were both Japanese (60hz) and since this game runs on NTSC C64's (and plays slower on PAL C64's), tuning it to NTSC (which is no problem with GT2) seemed the right way to go. :) User Comment

this game is impossible...! User Comment

Submitted by McMeatLoaf on 21 December 2014

Weird, the music is made in Goattracker, but tuned to NTSC? :) User Comment

Thanks for all the kind comments and messages. Now I need to get back to work... User Comment

Submitted by Linus on 10 November 2014

Wonderful! I played the Atari 7800 version a lot back in the days so this port feels like christmas <3 User Comment

Submitted by ZeSmasher on 10 November 2014

finished = just all 4 stages, ehrmm... :)

but Chuck completed all levels, killed the final boss, saved the princess and all this with his monitor turned off! User Comment

Submitted by Chris537 on 10 November 2014

It worked on a NTSC Commodore. Had problems when loading from the MSD SD2 but i suspect that from the fast load intact but worked fine on a 1541. User Comment

Submitted by Groepaz on 10 November 2014

what do you mean by "finished" though? completed all 4 levels? or actually played it until level 8(?) when it crashes? =) User Comment

Submitted by Yogibear on 10 November 2014

Thanks guys for your time and dedication! User Comment

Submitted by -$iXX!- on 10 November 2014

Finished? So there is no kill screen in this one. Highly disapointed. :) User Comment

Submitted by ZeSmasher on 9 November 2014

oh yes!! I've finished it without trainers and without loosing a single life!

no, no, I'm not Chuck Norris... :) The reason is that when I was young (years and kgs ago) I spent a fortune on that coin-op! (or better: my dad did)! :PP

fantastic conversion! User Comment

Brilliant.

Looks so good, can't wait to give it a spin! User Comment

hehehe cool User Comment

Submitted by Joe on 9 November 2014

A small remark to the so called cracking scene, within the scene:

Dont you just find it rather dull, not even snatching the prod out of the actual duplication.

A small race in the evening with discussions on who supplied what? Like former years, well we all know..



The real winner is not the cracking groups, which I find rather dull,

but the enormous effort put behind this game.

Id say Ill change my vote in a couple of days or so for those others licking the fingers of the great chicken wing.

This is great and deserves every vote out there!

Thumbs up! User Comment

Submitted by Joe on 9 November 2014

Wonderful! To darn difficult though,

I'll go for those who got the most points, went off first and have suffiecient trainers.. User Comment

Submitted by Zyron on 9 November 2014

Totally awesome. I love it! User Comment

Submitted by Paulko64 on 9 November 2014

Converting this game in essentially 2 months? Serious respect to all involved! User Comment

Submitted by Sixteen Plus on 9 November 2014

ooops. Disregard a statement in my first comment two posts down (editing doesn't work here) before anyone corrects me. The first nasty on screen 1 was always able to climb the vine from the first run. User Comment

Submitted by Sixteen Plus on 9 November 2014

P.S. I'd like to see an Ocean loader style .TAP file of this, preferably with the new Ocean'ish loading music from Zap Fight which IMO should be a standard for many new games, and as Ocean released an official port of original DK, that tune fits the bill perfectly :) User Comment

Submitted by Sixteen Plus on 9 November 2014

Wow wow wow. Finally had a chance to properly sit down and play it. All I can start off with by saying is that this is a perfect conversion of the arcade original, and with arguably better graphics. The sound is great and very arcade-like too.



Seriously you have outdone yourselves. It's probably one of the most accurate arcade ports on the commie if not the most accurate. The game mechanics are spot-on perfect. It's exactly like playing the arcade original.



I don't know why some feel it's too difficult, I think the difficulty level is spot-on. DKjr is supposed to move slow on one vine but speeds up on two. It didn't take me too long to beat it on Standard difficulty, but then it gets that little bit trickier after that with that first nasty now able to climb the vines. Just like in the arcade.



All that's now missing is the coin-slot. Well done on what is easily the release of the year.



10/10 User Comment

OK, I tried with True Drive Emulation turned off and the game works in WinVice for me now. User Comment

Submitted by mkarcz on 9 November 2014

Did anyone try to run the game in WinVice? It does not seem to work for me. WinVice 1.2, I load "*",8,1 and run. NTSC emulation. It flashes "NTSC DETECTED" but after that nothing happens. User Comment

Initial reverse engineering work was done in late 2011. But I only started working on it again for real at the beginning of September this year. User Comment

Submitted by STE'86 on 8 November 2014

according to the date stamps, serious work on this version started at the beginning of September. But I have graphic files dating back to 2012. These were charset though, in the arcade look and 80% of the graphics were completely redone for this version. when he first got in touch Andreas had a couple of rough working levels to show me what he intended.

Awesome work mr.Sid and everyone involved in this game!, just curious how long time took it to make this prod ? User Comment

Hey this is absolutely great! It does exists Donkey Kong Jr. on C64 but it looks totally different and fool.. This one you made is absolutely perfect! Great graphics but also sounds! Really masterpiece! I like it very much! User Comment

Nice work and great port. User Comment

Submitted by Tom-Cat on 8 November 2014

WOW... Great ! 10/10 !!! What a conversion. I think this plays better than arcade.



Mr.Sid - is this a fully newely coded conversion or is some other 6502 version used as a basis and then c64 stuff coded around it like with PoP ?



It is really great ! :) User Comment

Submitted by Burglar on 8 November 2014

awesome! grade A port/conversion. not as mindblowing as PoP, but great nonetheless.



and with Jammer, I wish there were more stages in the original.



great gfx too, clean and faithful User Comment

80s reviewers of Zzap!, Power Play, C+VG etc. would have made summersaults after playing. User Comment

Icon hits the nail. A true (Zzap!) sizzler! :D User Comment

Submitted by Mr. SID on 8 November 2014

@Jammer: it has 4 stages, and 8 difficulty levels (shown next to the bonus). After that the game continues at the highest difficulty.

Like Donkey Kong, this is all about reaching a high score. User Comment

Submitted by Jammer on 8 November 2014

The game has only 4 levels? :( User Comment

Submitted by iAN CooG on 8 November 2014

grasstust: it's by design, grabbing 1 rope climbs slow, grab 2 ropes, climb faster. Probably it's 1st time you play this game =) User Comment

Submitted by grasstust on 8 November 2014

Great release! Although I can't stand how slow the monkey climbs... And when climbing it doesn't really look like he's climbing, it looks like he's.... Well, anyway, that's not your fault, awesome port and a straight 10 from me! User Comment

Submitted by Mactron on 8 November 2014

awesome port. straight 10/10 User Comment

Submitted by Roysterini on 8 November 2014

Bloomin' fantastic. Best game to be released on C64 this year. So authentic.



Quite difficult, but that's how games used to be...and should be :)



Love it! User Comment

Submitted by Jammer on 8 November 2014

Brilliant! However, collision can be sometimes sloppy. Once I was killed even though pixels didn't touch together (game freezes then so I saw two pixels of distance between me and enemy). Other time my monkey fell through the floating platform in second level. User Comment
