Donkey Kong Country is one of my favorite platformers and a game that blew me away ever since I saw its previews and coverage in different game magazines. I think this is the game responsible for giving the edge to the SNES over the Genesis in the 16-bit war. Graphically, there was nothing remotely close to the amazing Silicon computer generated graphics. Gameplay was quick, fun and had a flow once you knew enemy and platforms placement.

A true masterpiece of its time, this game left a mark on me and I have nothing but great memories of playing this while enjoying the fantastic soundtrack by David Wise.
