Richo Rosai Posted October 9, 2008 along with the monkeys while playing DKC? Seriously. *By 'ever' I mean 'constantly'. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 9, 2008 Can't say I've played it. I did play the original when I was a kid, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

It was a great game at the time, and that being when I only got one or two games a year I played the ever-loving shit out of it (still remember almost all the secrets). Having more discerning tastes now I can see more of its flaws (way too zoomed-in, apparently to show off the graphics, making it impossible to see some parts of the screen to which you need to advance, making rote (and route (heh)) memorization necessary in a few places, and the bosses are rather phoned-in), but it's still a classic, and a defining game for me. Also on the topic of its quality, Miyamoto has openly and harshly criticized the game (see the wiki article). Oh, and the original didn't even have any discernible monkey noises, right? Stick with your bleeps and bloops old man, this is MY generation [wails on guitar while slamming radical breakfast cereal my parents just don't understand even though they buy it for me, WHILE riding a skateboard] 0 Share this post Link to post
Patrick Posted October 9, 2008 I can only say that the only time I have ever encountered DK was in SSB. And never in my gaming life have I ever had any urge to make monkey noises.

Technician Posted October 9, 2008 A buddy and me just finished the most retarded stop motion animation with paper cutout sprites today for a project. But on a more relevant-to-game response I remember enjoying DKC a lot. I think I liked Kiddy's Kong Quest a little better however. But if there were a Donkey Kong I played the shit out of it would be Donkey Kong for the game boy. My God that game was long and nut busting. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted October 10, 2008 Donkey Kong Country was awesome. It had really nice looking graphics for it's time, a good soundtrack, and really fun and intuitive gameplay. It could get pretty hard at some points, though. I never really played the sequels. As for the monkey noises, I always used the "tag" noise from that game whenever I had to make some kind of monkey noise. >_> 0 Share this post Link to post

Megaz Posted October 13, 2008 DKC2 sucked me in for years at a time. I even went to the trouble of getting every DK coin and every Bonus Coin and getting the secret ending from the lost world in DKC2...DKC was pretty good too, although DKC3 was too much of an easy game for me. But yes, monkey noises were the order of the day, and the crying of Dixie when she got hit was usually accompanied by my own crying/screaming/jumping on SNES controller. 0 Share this post Link to post

Some DKC2's levels will have you pulling your hair out, but was fair in how the difficulty was presented, as the most difficult levels were secrets. This is nothing compared to the cocksuck that was in certain DKC3's levels like Labyrinth... I literally had to turn my controller upside-down while swearing at the screen fifty times over. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chow Yun Thin Posted October 13, 2008 Never made the monkey noises, but I can imagine that stock sound effect of rabid monkey screeching if it's all the same to you. 0 Share this post Link to post
