it's genuinely a really good port, even if it's still outclassed by the original arcade version. if you were playing this back in the 80's and it's all you had, i think it'd make a fine substitute.

I mean is not better than the original, but is a PHENOMENAL port, the rivalry between DK ports is funny af

A very respectable port for the time, I can def see why Coleco decided to make this the ColecoVision's pack-in game

The Dev Story about this port is pretty fucking hilarious. essentially Coleco published this version and the other competitors ports so they purposefully gimped the Intelvision and Atari versions to sell the Colecovision as the more technologically advanced console. Which it was but even still the atari Could've handled alot more than they gave it.

That like if microsoft made a version of Halo for Playsation but it was shittier on purpose

Considerado um dos ports mais "arcade perfect" de Donkey Kong. Se comparado com seus concorrentes em outros consoles da segunda geração, é certamente o maior port, e o com mais fidelidade gráfica, mas ainda é notavelmente diferente da experiência dos arcades - inclusive herda algumas discrepâncias de outros ports, como a posição do Kong invertida nos 25m. Mas não dá para negar que em 1982 deveria ser um feito e tanto. E em 2022 tem retroachievements!
