I suffered through two more mediocre at best Game Boy Advance games, all in the name of the Retro Talkshop Thread.
Number: 20
Full Title: DK: King of Swing
Platform Played: Game Boy Advance
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy Advance
Original Platforms: Game Boy Advance
This game's shoulder button-driven swinging gameplay had me wanting to throw my Pocket across the room almost as quickly as it charmed me in the first place. Clearly just intended as a dusty revival of Clu Clu Land with the Donkey Kong franchise slapped all over it (with crisp, cheerful sprites, admittedly), there are too many hazards, gut checks, and frustrating mechanics to turn the relaxing puzzle adventure I expected into an exercise in frustration. The boss fights weren't exactly a picnic either. At least the game was short.
Number: 21
Full Title: Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
Platform Played: Game Boy Advance
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy Advance
Original Platforms: PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance
Badge: Girl Power (1/2)
Calling this a "true sequel" to the original Ms. Pac-Man is a bit of a stretch. Sure, it stars Ms. Pac-Man, and sure, you run around collecting dots - 'scuse me, Pac-Dots - while dodging immortal ghosts. The levels are less about survival and more about just making it to the end, making the game feel more like Chip's Challenge than Pac-Man. It gets off to a great start with simple controls (there are no action buttons) and decent design, but the moment levels start getting complicated, the GBA's platform limitations start to get in the way. The 90-degree isometric perspective and lack of shading make it nearly impossible to differentiate between floors of different heights, turning the game into a mind-munching game of trial and error.
I did really like the music, though. The tunes for most of the levels are extremely catchy without falling head first into the tropes that such themed tracks - Egypt, Chinatown, etc. - tend to exploit.

I'm going to continue with Pac-Man month by starting Pac-Man World on the GBA next. With less than three chapters to go in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I'm getting ready to "switch discs" to something else, though I haven't decided what yet. A big part of me wants to load up the original Final Fantasy VII and play through the first disc, imitating what I did when I finished Remake and played through the original game's Midgar sequence. The rest of me is shuffling between finally starting Diablo IV or picking up a Psygnosis game for the Retro Talkshop Thread's annual challenge.

So I've spent some quality time with Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. While this is really a bad game, it isn't too bad. Thankfully, the controls are okay (with a few odd decisions), which I"m okay with. I've played four levels so far, which have been okay, but overly simple. The only real challenge comes in the form of, well, challenges that the game let's you partake in if you so choose in order to obtain dragonfies. Which reminds me, each level contains 10 dragonflys. It's kinda like the stars in Mario 64. You need to obtain enough dragonflies go get access to different areas. Also, there are a butt-load of gems just scattered around every level. It's a huge collectathon with those, but I've only spent some of that sweet mula like one time. I've got over a 1,000 of whatever this currency is and no where to spend it as of yet. The camera in this game messes with me a bit, especially if I'm rotating it. I don't know how to explain it, but it's as if the world is slightly warped sometimes as I rotate the camera. Not a problem, but just something that I've noticed. The framerate can really suck at times, which is one of my biggest gripes. The sound is stupid and unforgettable. I was playing a flying challenge, when all of a sudden, I noticed that the music had stopped. A few seconds later, it restarted again. Another sound issue I noticed is that when you break vases, sometimes they simply don't make a sound. It actually happens quite often. Overall, this game seems rather rushed. A few other things: Never having played a Spyro game, I don't know if this particular mechanic was present in the previous games, but there's one that bothers me. When you jump in the air, you can then press and hold the jump button in order to glide, which comes in handing with trying to jump from one platform to another. This would be fine, except for the fact that there are some edges you won't be able to make it to unless you tap the Y button at the very end of your jump, which gives you a little upward movement necessary to complete to jump. It's kinda stupid and unecessary. Another thing that I've noticed is the voice acting. I swear, every set of NPCs that you interact with have distinct accents. The first world had an oriental theme and all the masters that I rescued had stereotypical Asian accents. Plus, they were all named after movie martial artists! (Jacki, Jet, Bruce, etc...). There's one level that is a farm setting with super-hick farmers who's cows were being abducted by aliens (actually a pretty fun level). I've also come across tourist pigs who sound like they may be from New Jersey. I wonder what other accents I will come across next. As annoying as the voice accents can be, the dialog made me laugh a couple times, which is much more than I could say about Charlie's Angels! So, @Frank , How far have you gotten so far? Have you at least completed the first level? I'm curious as the how your experience has been so far.
I haven't been feeling well and haven't really had the opportunity to hook up the GameCube or Wii. I will soon.
I'm both glad and also disappointed you aren't having a miserable time.

Retro Talkshop Thread - Game of the Month *n64* Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
1-Apr-24 2:31amRenaissance2K
Donkey Kong has dived into his Banana Hoard, Scrooge McDonk style. Here are the results from this month:
You folks have been busy!
Thanks to everyone who peeled back the banana on the Kong dynasty this month. Should you pay another visit to Donkey Kong Country, Land, Commonwealth, DMZ, or any other internationally recognized gorilla-ruled sovereign body, feel free to share here to add another barrel to your cache.
Here is the final tally for April's Game of the Month:
1. Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness - 22 points
2. Pac-Man World - 21 points
3. Painkiller - 17 points
4. Kirby's Epic Yard - 13 points
5. Super Mario Land - 7 points
Gender dynamics being what they are, while Pac-Man built an empire of arcade games, follow-ups, and power-ups, it took his poor wife 18 years to get the pseudo-sequel that her grown-breaking eponymous title deserved. Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness - a reimagining of the blockbuster classic arcade game - dropped for the PlayStation in 2000 and infused the Pac Maze formula with 3D graphics, level progression, and a big bad that's after the world's treasures. The initial PlayStation release was followed up with spruced up ports for the *n64* Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast, a 2D portable release for the Game Boy Advance, and a PC sequel that nobody cares about.

Full Title: Cruis'n Blast
Platform Played: Arcade
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Arcade
Original Platforms: Arcade
Badge: Race Drivin' (1/2)
This is another game that I got a lot of screentime with courtesy of my five-year-old son, who loves to sit in my lap at Dave & Buster's and play co-pilot in various driving games. Unlike Mario Kart GP, Cruis'n Blast lets you register a profile and saves your vehicle upgrades and beaten tracks between races. In true arcade fashion, your first few races place you near the front of the pack but rarely squeaking out a win, but after a few upgrades and after learning how you can shave fragments off of your time by doing tricks, you start putting some notches on your steering wheel.
Despite only having five tracks, it took me a while to get wins in all of them. Other than drifting, I didn't bother to research how to do barrel rolls, backflips, and other mid-air spins, which are essential to getting a time bonus at the end of the race. That, and my son is obsessed with the rain-covered Shanghai level with its underwater tube, lightning effects, and rainbow bridge at the end of the race. He finally allowed for a compromise and let me finish London - the last track I'd yet to finish - as long as we followed it up with a run on Shanghai. Twice.

Full Title: Donkey Kong Country
Platform Played: Game Boy Color
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy Color
Original Platforms: Super Nintendo
Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (1/2)
Resident Jane Goodall wannabe SupremeSarna suggested I give the Game Boy Color port of Donkey Kong Country a try, and as a fan of both the Super Nintendo original and the Donkey Kong Land series, who am I to refuse? The game's not going to win any awards for graphics or controls, but the added color makes it much easier to parse than the pea soup bog of the Land games, and both the soundtrack and level layouts translate well for a super fan. I just wish the trick jumps, barrels, and other acrobatics were as intuitive to pull off as on the home console release.

Full Title: Donkey Kong Land 2
Platform Played: Game Boy
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy
Original Platforms: Game Boy
Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (2/2)
Having played through the original Donkey Kong Land fairly recently (back in 2020 as part of my Year of Replays), I opted for its sequel next. I owned all three Donkey Kong Land games when I was much younger, but I remember this one the least, which was probably for the best. The lack of a bruiser gorilla on your team makes big enemies annoying to deal with, the levels feel distinctly more annoying for no specific reason, and the game introduces a bunch of unnecessary collect-a-thon mechanics, the worst of which is the need to purchase additional saves. As with Donkey Kong '94, I bypassed the Super Game Boy game enhancements in favor of the Analogue Pocket's full screen Game Boy mode, which felt like it helped more than the increased sprite definition.

Full Title: Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong
Platform Played: Game Boy
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy
Original Platforms: Game Boy
Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (already earned)
Donkey Kong Land 3 was the next logical choice in my backlog, but after discovering that the game received an official Game Boy Color port in Japan, I had to download a translation patch and explore that version instead. Both the color palette and the more forgiving level design made this a much more enjoyable playthrough than its predecessor, even if Dinky Kong is a bit of a doof and the game's bosses are more annoying than co-habitating in-laws.

I doubt Donkey Kong month is going to finish with another completion, but I've decided to wind things down with DK: King of Swing and see if there's anything there to write home about. I don't think I'm done with Donkey Kong games for the year, but even as the new Games of the Month rotate in, I don't see myself shifting to anything new on the homefront until Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is completed.

Original Platforms: Arcade
Badge: Race Drivin' (1/2)
This is another game that I got a lot of screentime with courtesy of my five-year-old son, who loves to sit in my lap at Dave & Buster's and play co-pilot in various driving games. Unlike Mario Kart GP, Cruis'n Blast lets you register a profile and saves your vehicle upgrades and beaten tracks between races. In true arcade fashion, your first few races place you near the front of the pack but rarely squeaking out a win, but after a few upgrades and after learning how you can shave fragments off of your time by doing tricks, you start putting some notches on your steering wheel.
Despite only having five tracks, it took me a while to get wins in all of them. Other than drifting, I didn't bother to research how to do barrel rolls, backflips, and other mid-air spins, which are essential to getting a time bonus at the end of the race. That, and my son is obsessed with the rain-covered Shanghai level with its underwater tube, lightning effects, and rainbow bridge at the end of the race. He finally allowed for a compromise and let me finish London - the last track I'd yet to finish - as long as we followed it up with a run on Shanghai. Twice.

Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (1/2)
Resident Jane Goodall wannabe SupremeSarna suggested I give the Game Boy Color port of Donkey Kong Country a try, and as a fan of both the Super Nintendo original and the Donkey Kong Land series, who am I to refuse? The game's not going to win any awards for graphics or controls, but the added color makes it much easier to parse than the pea soup bog of the Land games, and both the soundtrack and level layouts translate well for a super fan. I just wish the trick jumps, barrels, and other acrobatics were as intuitive to pull off as on the home console release.

Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (2/2)
Having played through the original Donkey Kong Land fairly recently (back in 2020 as part of my Year of Replays), I opted for its sequel next. I owned all three Donkey Kong Land games when I was much younger, but I remember this one the least, which was probably for the best. The lack of a bruiser gorilla on your team makes big enemies annoying to deal with, the levels feel distinctly more annoying for no specific reason, and the game introduces a bunch of unnecessary collect-a-thon mechanics, the worst of which is the need to purchase additional saves. As with Donkey Kong '94, I bypassed the Super Game Boy game enhancements in favor of the Analogue Pocket's full screen Game Boy mode, which felt like it helped more than the increased sprite definition.

Full Title: Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong
Platform Played: Game Boy
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy
Original Platforms: Game Boy
Badge: Hop 'n' Bop (already earned)
Donkey Kong Land 3 was the next logical choice in my backlog, but after discovering that the game received an official Game Boy Color port in Japan, I had to download a translation patch and explore that version instead. Both the color palette and the more forgiving level design made this a much more enjoyable playthrough than its predecessor, even if Dinky Kong is a bit of a doof and the game's bosses are more annoying than co-habitating in-laws.

Beat a Game 2024
8-Mar-24 4:35pmRenaissance2K
Nothing like starting off the morning with a hot, steaming bowl of monkey justice.
Number: 15
Full Title: Donkey Kong
Platform Played: Game Boy
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy
Original Platforms: Game Boy
Playing through both versions of Mario vs. Donkey Kong re-whet my appetite for this Game Boy classic, which I first played on the 3DS Virtual Console shortly after that platform was released. The formula is largely the same - Mario navigates a series of puzzle platforming levels in pursuit of Donkey Kong, who kidnapped side-piece Pauline - except the levels are laid out as a 100-floor tower that begins with the four levels from the classic Donkey Kong arcade game. Mario pulls off a really impressive set of acrobatics for an 8-bit, two button console, and aside from a couple of unfairly mind-bending mid-levels (and a really frustrating final boss fight, where Mario's extended moves actually work against him), it's a blast and an excellent evolution of both the Mario and Donkey Kong formulae.
Donkey Kong '94 famously offers some of the best Super Game Boy enhancements available. (Lots of people would say it's the best Super Game Boy-enhanced game, but I find being able to play the full Super Nintendo version of Space Invaders really impressive.) The color palette is expertly implemented, Pauline gets an actual voice sample, and there's apparently a bonus when you finish the game (which I didn't actually hear, for some reason) making for a game that feels just as much at home on a Super Nintendo as it does on Game Boy. In practice, however, I preferred playing on my Analogue Pocket's natural Game Boy mode over even its Super Game Boy core. The larger screen size and beautiful DMG filter made for a more enjoyable experience than the smaller, more colorful Super Game Boy viewport.

At @SupremeSarna's suggestion, my next Donkey Kong title is going to be Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Color, which I forsook during its initial release but want to explore with the benefits of the Pocket's amazing screen emulation. On the homefront, I'm slowly working through Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in all its glory, trying to mainline the primary scenario and skip the optional content before anything gets spoiled.
Nothing like starting off the morning with a hot, steaming bowl of monkey justice.
Number: 15
Full Title: Donkey Kong
Platform Played: Game Boy
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: Game Boy
Original Platforms: Game Boy
Playing through both versions of Mario vs. Donkey Kong re-whet my appetite for this Game Boy classic, which I first played on the 3DS Virtual Console shortly after that platform was released. The formula is largely the same - Mario navigates a series of puzzle platforming levels in pursuit of Donkey Kong, who kidnapped side-piece Pauline - except the levels are laid out as a 100-floor tower that begins with the four levels from the classic Donkey Kong arcade game. Mario pulls off a really impressive set of acrobatics for an 8-bit, two button console, and aside from a couple of unfairly mind-bending mid-levels (and a really frustrating final boss fight, where Mario's extended moves actually work against him), it's a blast and an excellent evolution of both the Mario and Donkey Kong formulae.
Donkey Kong '94 famously offers some of the best Super Game Boy enhancements available. (Lots of people would say it's the best Super Game Boy-enhanced game, but I find being able to play the full Super Nintendo version of Space Invaders really impressive.) The color palette is expertly implemented, Pauline gets an actual voice sample, and there's apparently a bonus when you finish the game (which I didn't actually hear, for some reason) making for a game that feels just as much at home on a Super Nintendo as it does on Game Boy. In practice, however, I preferred playing on my Analogue Pocket's natural Game Boy mode over even its Super Game Boy core. The larger screen size and beautiful DMG filter made for a more enjoyable experience than the smaller, more colorful Super Game Boy viewport.

Retro Talkshop Thread - Game of the Month *nes* Donkey Kong franchise
1-Mar-24 12:13amRenaissance2K
Shaq Fu is headed to the library to write an apology letter to @BleedingViolet. Quake found an escape pod and is flying home... hopefully in one piece. Here are the results from this month:
Many thanks to everyone who Shaq'd or Quake'd this month. If you finish any of these games later on, feel free to let me know, and I'll award an appropriate badge.
The final tally for March's Game of the Month is ready. And IT'S ON... LIKE...
1. DONKEY KONG franchise - 23 points
2. Kirby's Epic Yarn - 19 points
2. Star Wars: Dark Forces - 19 points
4. Shadow Man - 18 points
5. Battletoads in Battlemaniacs - 15 points
6. Rampage franchise - 11 points
Sometimes a villain and sometimes just another stupid monkey, Donkey Kong began as a means of recycling failed arcade cabinets and ended up launching Shigeru Miyamoto's career as a superlative game designer and laying the foundation for Nintendo's video gaming empire. Even before Mario became a household name, Donkey Kong starred in numerous arcade and handheld names, sharing the pantheon with other mascots of the arcade like Pac-Man, Q-Bert, and Frogger. Since those humble single-screen arcade beginnings, DK - and the entire Kong family - have reappeared in platformers, rhythm games, racing games, and even a... math quiz?
