When Mike Mika saw how displeased his daughter was when she discovered that Pauline was not a playable character in Donkey Kong, he felt inspired to do something about it.
Luckily for his daughter, Mika is an experienced developer and hacking into the classic game was not too difficult a feat for him. He spent a few late-night hours tinkering with the NES version of the Nintendo favorite and managed to accomplish the role reversal his daughter desired. Continue Reading
Deviant Artist BazNet has taken the format and style of classic game Donkey Kong and given them several different popular culture inspired themes. See the infamous laddered level layout of the much loved game Donkey Kong, but this time populated with characters from your favorite series and movies like Indiana Jones, Aliens’ Ripley, and the time travelling crusader Doctor Who to name but a few.
BazNet also sends Donkey Kong head first into George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones where mini Mario-sized Ned and Robert have to dodge the devious and dastardly Rhaegar Targaryen’s dragonfire. There is also a Donkey Kong themed Adventure Time with Finn and Jake! Continue Reading
If you thought the game Donkey Kong was old school in itself, then wait till you see this mechanical version of the game which is more archaic than it is arcade!!
It really does look like a scene from the cult game has been whipped out of the console and brought to life in the real world.
Ah it’s brought back loads of fluffy memories of the hours I wasted playing Donkey Kong as a child and the insufferable devastation I felt when it broke!
The game was created by builder Martin Raynsford and as you can probably tell from the video clip, it is still in the development stages. He made it using laser cut wood and a mechanism that fires ball bearings down towards Mario who is currently suspended in the one spot, able to leap over the barrels but not do much else yet!Continue Reading
Before Mario, there was Donkey Kong. You might remember playing a round of two of Donkey Kong down at your local arcade in the 1980s, when he first hit the gaming scene. Donkey Kong was one angry gorilla who hurled barrels targeting Mario (who was known as Jumpman back then) as he climbed ladders and hopped his way to save his princess.
To commemorate Mario’s humble beginnings and the first addictive game to hit the market, designer Igor Chak drew up this concept of a Donkey Kong-inspired shelf, complete with ladders and rails on the shelves to boot. He envisions the individual sections as being crafted with light carbon fiber with anodized aluminum pixels and steel rods holding the entire thing together.Continue Reading
