Donkey Kong (Atari 7800)

Postby VideoGameCritic » September 25th, 2018, 8:02 pm

A while back I got an email stating this:
I looked at a video on YouTube with a playback of the Donkey Kong game ported to the 7800 Atari game console and I found out that the gold mine stage with conveyor belts is also there! This would bump the grade to at least a straight, average "A."

Well, I finally got around to revisiting the game, and while it's a great rendition, there is definitely NOT a conveyer belt stage. Not sure what this guy was looking at on YouTube.

That was probably the Donkey Kong XM hack.

StrategyWiki wrote:Donkey Kong XM is a version that seeks to update and improve upon the original version released by Atari. It is specifically designed to run on the "XM" expansion module for the Atari 7800, which improves the sound hardware of the system, which this version of Donkey Kong takes advantage of. Last but certainly not least, this version adds the Conveyor Belt Stage back into the game.
