In the early 80's Nintendo released one of the most famous games of all time, and that game was ' Donkey Kong '. A game in which you played as Mario that had to avoid obstacles across a number of platforms, with sometimes a hammer in hand to save a damsel in distress from a giant barrel throwing ape called Donkey Kong. That same game which also appeared as a more recent Arcade to Amiga conversion by JOTD, has just arrived as a pretty incredible Arcade clone to the ZX Spectrum by Artonapilos.
And here's the latest from the developer. "Amazing clone of DONKEY KONG from arcade machines ported to the Spectrum. Developed by Artonapilos. When you load this game on your Spectrum you will be transported to the arcades of the 80s. Get ready for a trip back in time! This game is part of the definitive collection of arcade games cloned to the Zx Spectrum. They also exist in physical format".

Very impressive port!
ReplyDeleteA brilliant version with a fabulous colour scheme. The author is a genius. The ultimate Speccy version.
ReplyDeleteExcellent conversion. The SFX are very impressive for the 48K. It's a shame there's not a 128K version with AY sound. The colour scheme is great! An optional ULAplus version would be good too so it could include arcade accurate colours.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, There should always be a 128k AY version or 48k + AY module version.
DeleteJust amazing what can be achieved on the humble speccy. Top work.
ReplyDeleteStunning converstion, well done!
ReplyDeleteAmazing arcade fidelity graphics-wise. Spectrum games so often prove the "limitations foster creativity" saying. I would like to experience it on a fuzzy CRT.
ReplyDeleteIt's by Artonapilos, not Bubu. Says it right there in the picture :D
ReplyDeleteIt also says " PRODUCED BY BUBU " which is the same in the Youtube description. But I can change that. Thanks for liking the article! :)
