I always thought Donkey Kong was pretty good but found it boring after a while due to it having only four boards. Give me Miner 2049er any day over the Kong!
But your review has motivated me to seek and buy this game. NINE boards? And on my first love, the Intellivision!?!?! I don't know about finding it on E-Bay but I just purchased it from this site:

I'm new to the homebrew scene but look forward to playing this baby.

Anyhow, sounds like you upgraded it pretty significantly -- if I remember correctly, your previous review had it as an F(?). Isn't it funny how our tastes can change as time goes by....

Thanks Critic for the good review of Turbo.
I have always thought it deserved better and have never been disappointed with my purchase of it for the Intellivision.
Of course the fellow I bought it from thought it was for the Colecovision and only charged me $4.00. Which I thought was fair after reading all the negative info. Then I played it and thought it wasn't such a bad game.
Thanks again!

Sure thing. I happen to be a fan of Classic Game Room myself. Lots of positivity and good natured humor in his reviews.

Fellow Intellivision lovers - you simply have to get this game!
My copy came in the mail yesterday. It is amazing. The Critic nailed it in his review: it is what Donkey Kong 3 should have been, it truly is a seamless continuation of this classic and above all the control is ultra tight. I am a big fan of the Intellivision controller and was impressed how crisp the control is on the game.
I was equally impressed with the sound. It's exactly like the arcade.
Thanks for the great review which motivated me to get this gem.

I want to thank the author of this game for not dumbing things down. The game is incredibly hard -- and that's a good thing! After playing the original Donkey Kong over and over, it's refreshing to play something new that retains the spirit of the original. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the thrill of discovery you get when playing new, never before seen levels. They are brilliant and just as fun as the originals.
Considering the cartridge comes with the also excellent DK Arcade, this game is a steal for $50. Hopefully there is a part 3 somewhere on the horizon.
