6/14/2023 0 Comments Donkey kong 3 pcbIt is a homebrew game having no affiliation with Nintendo and can be applied as a chip update to a Donkey Kong PCB. Jeff Kulczycki of ROM Hack created this game in 2006. I often wonder if the Donkey Kong at Holiday Hill is the same cab I played as a teenager. Prior to letting my son play DKCR on the Wii, I showed him the original, and Donkey Kong Jr., on my Atari 7800 console and the real-deal at a local arcade. In the wake of that awesomeness, I'm surprised I didn't know about the unofficial Donkey Kong II Jumpman Returns game! I loved the tale of the father who swapped Mario and Pauline for his daughter. Falcon also produced two other games: "Royal Mahjong", a mahjong game, and "Silver Land", a rethemed clone of River Patrol.Donkey Kong II Jumpman Returns looks more like a sequel than the actual Nintendo sequels.Despite the differences in Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr., the marquee for Crazy Junior is almost the same as Crazy Kong's, just with a different title, instructions, and Mario sporting different colors.This is the first known arrest for producing unauthorized copies of a game in Japan.However, this was without a license from Nintendo and Nintendo would file a criminal complaint, causing the president of Falcon to get arrested. Falcon would later produce Crazy Junior, a clone of Nintendo's Donkey Kong Jr.Supposedly, Shigeru Miyamoto saw the intro to Crazy Kong Part II and was impressed, admitting that he thought "They've done it!" after seeing it.Unlike the original Crazy Kong, Mario has accurate/traditional colors.In the 25m level, some slopes are cut off so that they no longer go down past the ladder.During round 2 and on (when L=02), gaps appear in the girders of the 25m mark (the sloped level).After completing the 100m mark, the text "GIVE UP!!" appears.Most of the steel girders have been switched from a green color to an orange/red color, including the title screen.During attract mode, a scene is shown where Crazy Kong is breaking out of a jail/zoo along with a rudimentary one channel audio tune.The game is essentially the same with few differences: ![]() Crazy Kong Part IIĬrazy Kong Part II Crazy Kong Part II's title screen.Ĭrazy Kong Part II ( クレイジーコング PART II) is an update to Crazy Kong published by Falcon in 1981. However, Nintendo of America took notice, sued Elcon Industries, Inc. Due to Nintendo of America moving locations, there was a delay in the production of Donkey Kong cabinets and due to high demand, Crazy Kong machines started getting imported. However, versions of Crazy Kong were starting to be distributed elsewhere notably by Jeutel in France, Zaccaria in Italy, Alca in the United Kingdom, Orca in Japan and Elcon Industries, Inc. There is a rumor that UPL helped the conversion of this game but Ryuichi Nishizawa denied that this happened. Shouei ended up giving the rights to release the game to Falcon and a company known as Kyouei produced the boards. Shouei, a parent company of Falcon, got permission from Nintendo to release a Donkey Kong clone for Japan. ![]() Some of these go by the names Big Kong, Monkey Kong, and Monkey Donkey. The PCB of the game was not as complicated as the original Donkey Kong's PCB so it was easier to understand and a lot of unofficial copies of the game were made as well. All mentions of Nintendo and even Ikegami Tsuchinki (who is only mentioned through a hidden message and logo) have been removed. The game can also enter 12 characters on the High Score Table instead of 3 like usual. When each round starts, the text reads "HOW HIGH CAN YOU TRY" instead of "HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET?" The color of the girders are green instead of magenta, Mario's colors are also changed, and the glitch in 25m works as well. The game's version is based on a very early Japanese version of Donkey Kong. Also, there are other versions of the game that run on Scramble, Jeutel, Orca, and Alca hardware. The palette is also notably different from the original game as well. The sample when you jump is the voice of the gorilla in Crazy Climber. The game runs on modified Crazy Climber hardware ( Nichibutsu). ![]() This game is mostly identical to the original Donkey Kong.
