i never knew that the original donkey kong got it's idea from Chuckie Egg, thats a new one from me..... and one day i will buy donkey kong 64 for my n64 as i want to buy it before it gets too rare and expensive.


Sorry can't see that fact as being correct, Donkey Kong the arcade game came out at least two years before Chuckie egg, unless they had a DeLaurian with a time machine and a road to go 88 miles an hour, I think the fact is wrong, either that or Hadrian's tongue was lodged firmly in his cheek when he wrote it..... Eggy Kong indeed.........

Pay more attention to the text people..

though DK has a big influence on this game too (it was originally called Eggy Kong)

DK influenced the game! Not the contrary!

I'm yet to play Grim Fandango, I think i'll get a copy soon.

Someone already mentioned the Grim Fandango Network, but people should know they also have a special "launcher" application.

It's been several months since the last time I replayed it, but I think that launcher helped a whole lot with getting things running.

What a great thread. I loved DK64 back in the day. As well as the Punisher.

Also I like the original DK games over 64, but the 64 version was ok.

Yep, agreed. Played the original DK game on the Atari 400, 800 and 800XL. Very addictive, and fun!

EarthBound is still the greatest Super Nintendo game ever made.
