... a pirate ship. The game plays beautifully - jumping, climbing, swinging and even riding in mine carts to reach the far end of each level. There are some great ideas in the level design too - switches to turn the lights on and off, crazy beavers inside giant millstones to run away from and tree-top levels with hundreds of "blast barrels" to jump in which fire you about the level. There are plenty of enemies to fight along the way too - from K. Rool's crocodile critters, to some aquatic enemies and flying f...more

Donkey Kong Country (DKC) is a platformer, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System way back in 1994. For it's time, the game was something truly magnificent - with its 3D "clay like" graphics and superb attention to detail. The game stars Nintendo's former villain "Donkey Kong" (a big ape who love bananas) and his little sidekick, Diddy Kong (a chimp with a similar taste for the yellow fruit). King K. Rool (an already rather overweight crocodile) has stolen the Kong's banana hoard. It's up to Donkey and Diddy to get it back. They follow the trail of bananas across their home island to find King K. Rool hiding aboard a pirate ... Read the complete review

Roll back the mists of time, back, back into the last century to the early 90's .... The games back then were so much simpler, as was life. We were only about ten years on from the days of the BLIP BLIP BLIP tennis bats and Space Invaders, remember. The dave27 clan was just about moving on to satisfying our lust for things material and we'd got most of the electric gear you could possibly want ... hi fi, TV, the obligatory video which was actually just an expensive digital clock, microwave, dishwasher, we had it all, but up until then we'd fought shy of the GAMES CONSOLE. What DO you get the family that has everything? Why, you get them a ... Read the complete review

[This review was not stolen from http://members.madasafish.com/~kefka/ as the above site is mine.] This is, in my humble opinion, one of the most over-rated games in history. It sold 8 million at the time, as there was a huge amount of hype, and every mag gave it a score above 90%. Why? Because it looks good. Damn good. The world's press's collective jaw dropped at the graphics and animation, and scribbled together a review ranting about rubbish like it going past the capabilities of SNES, and using the revolutionary method of 'ACM' blah blah blah... ACM is made up jargon. It stands for 'Advanced Computer Modeling' and the ... Read the complete review

After being a star in his own game Donkey Kong several years ago, he appeared again years later in this game. However he is now old and you dont play him. Hes now called granpa Kong. But the star in this game is called Donkey Kong aswell and you play him. Confusing i know hehe. Theres two characters to choose from in this game and they are Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. I think Diddy is Donkey`s nephew but i cant remmeber. Along the way you also get help from granpa Kong. Who was the star in the original Kong game. You can play either Diddy or Donkey. Donkey is stronger but Diddy is faster. You go from jungle to jungle and also in the water and mines ... Read the complete review
