Donkey Kong Junior for C64
For those of you not reading lemon64 (can't blame you... :)
I'm proud to announce the imminent release of Donkey Kong Junior for the Commodore 64 (PAL and NTSC).
It's one of the classic arcade games of the early 1980s, but unfortunately never got a C64 release. We've spent some time to get rid of that problem.
The game will be available as a free download on Saturday, November 8th 2014.
What are you gonna get? A 100% accurate port of the Atari 7800 version, which is highly regarded as an excellent conversion of the arcade original.
Check out this review if you want to learn more about the game:

The graphics have been done from scratch to the highest standard by STE'86 with hints taken from the arcade and the NES version, but tweaked to look best on the C64.
The music and sound effects have been painstakingly recreated for the SID by encore and complement the game brilliantly.
To make the wait until Saturday a little bit easier for you, here are some screenshots:

That was easily the more challenging and interesting way of doing it. |

I loved to play DK Jr. on that one-game-handheld ("Game&Watch"). You guys rule, example screenshots look very promising. |

So does this mean we might see other 7800 games now with this hacked rom? Mr. Sid
Just wondering as it would be cool to see some of the Atari 7800 Larger games. Well thanks and we all seem to try and inspire you on other games too!.
Looks Awesome! |

This looks really good, really looking forward to tomorrow!
Regarding other Atari 7800 games, the Pac-Man Collection homebrew released a couple years ago is freakin amazing. |

Just wanna join in and say: GREAT!!! Looks perfect! - And has that chunky, colorful C64 touch that makes me love the C64 Donkey Kong the most.
What about Parasol Stars - the sequel to Rainbow Island:

That would be my little wish for a game that doesn't exist on the C64 yet! |
