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.

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?

To close out February and its Retro Games of the Month, I played through Quake II on my retro PC.

Number: 14
Full Title: Quake II
Platform Played: PC
Collection: N/A
Native Platform: PC
Original Platforms: PC
Badges: 2nd Amendment (2/2)

Unlike the original Quake, I played through Quake II a few years after it was released and its price had dropped to teenager-accessible levels. Like Quake, however, I remember the demo vividly. Quake II tried hard to distinguish itself from other shooters at the time. Enemies moved differently and would duck and dodge your attacks. Weapons themselves all had quirks that separated themselves from each other, like the accelerating fire rate of the Chaingun or the cooldown of the Hyperblaster. More than anything else, I remember firing the starting blaster into a dark crawl space and watching as the game's dynamic lighting highlighted the tiny bullet as it went from one end of the corridor to the other. Pretty stunning stuff, even without a high end video card.

Coming straight from a playthrough of Quake, though, all these little quirks - which are now standard in all but the most retro-inspired shooters - just serve to slow the game down. Once I got a feel for the game's level design and stopped ignoring the in-game tactical computer, I started to move through objectives a little more quickly, but the actual act of shooting never became as satisfying as it was in its predecessor. In the longstanding Quake vs. Unreal war, I've always planted myself firmly on the Unreal side of things, which dropped five months later. Playing through Quake II a second time, it was a fun trip down memory lane and an interesting contrast to its predecessor, but I don't think my opinion on it has changed much.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth finally dropped last night, and I dove right in. That will likely be my focus for a while, unless next months Games of the Month are portable-friendly.

Part of the issue might be the items you're leading with. Yes, they are some of the system's most popular games (except Triple Play) but that's the problem. Most people on here with an N64 would probably have at least 2 or 3 of the games on offer already. For example: Mario Kart is in 143 collections + 23 available, Goldeneye in 114 collections + 29 available, and Paper Mario in 81 collections + 7 available. For each game someone already owns, the duplicate game now becomes a not an exciting new adventure, but a task, as we now have to re-sell it to get back the money we didn't really need to spend in the first place.

I question whether most people would want Triple Play 2000, even if it is CIB. (Looking on here it's on exactly zero people's want list, and only 5 collecrions). The only people who would want this are those specifically trying for a full CIB set, ot someone who wants it for sentimental reasons (maybe it's a game their recently deceased dad played a lot).

For those like myself who don't care about CIB for N64 games (that ship sailed a long time ago), the empty Zelda boxes don't add much value.

The other big issues that are bothering me are (1) the expected amount vs price charting value, which you have addressed above, but I don't really agree with all your points - if you are trying to move a bulk lot, people will expect a reasonable bulk discount because it's far less work for you, and far more work for them in parting out and reselling the items they don't want. You seem to have gone the other direction. The higher the tiers go, the more you want compared to price charting. Tier 1 350 value selling for 300 (86%). Add Tier 2 and we have 1250 value selling for 1200 (96%). Tier 3 makes some headway with 1750 value for 1500 (back down to 86%). Tier 4 goes backwards again with 2150 value for 2000 (93%), and you continue that trend with Tier 5, at 2750 value for 2700 (98%). People just don't spend 2700 dollars on a bulk lot to save 2%.

And (2) the fact that you are selling "as is." If I'm expected to drop 300 to 3300 dollars on some games, I want full assurances that they have been thoroughly tested and working, and any issues like a dead save battery, or disc scratches fully disclosed.

In anticipation of the remaster that just dropped over the long weekend, Frank's Game of the Month was Mario vs. Donkey Kong. I got a head start on the festivities by picking up the Game Boy Advance original and working my way through the campaign mode.

I started the Mario vs. Donkey Kong franchise right in the middle, picking up Minis March Again at the launch of DSiWare and playing through it - twice! I never touched the original, despite the number of times Nintendo offered it up to loyalists. I liked the Game Boy reimagining of Donkey Kong that inspired this game and was happy to see it'd gotten a new coat of paint and a lot of expanded content.

While the game got off to a breezy start, the game's difficulty quickly spiked, and Mario's quirky acrobatics started to become more frustrating than charming. Mario vs. Donkey Kong presents an alternative to the hop-and-bop parkour that made up Mario's moveset from New Super Mario Bros. onward, and while I'm impressed they could fit such a huge repetoire into just two buttons, the number of backflips I've done suggest it could have been less overloaded. Aside from a few really nightmarish puzzles, the game still managed to be a fun "snack" of sorts, even though it's not as memorable as some of Mario's other portable titles.

While I love experiencing the same game on multiple platforms, there aren't too many occasions where I immediately followed up a playthrough of a game with its remaster, especially so soon after the latter's release. Figuring "Why not?" I picked up the Switch remaster of Mario vs. Donkey Kong shortly before it dropped. The game adds two new worlds - each with a new mechanic to master - and brings all the graphics and level designs up to speed with the rest of the Switch library.

I couldn't put it down. The updated graphics adding a whole lot of clarity to the original's fuzzy pre-rendered sprites. The new levels and mechanics weren't particularly memorable, but they fit in perfectly with the rest of the game's original content. Most of the annoyances with Mario's moves were taken care of, and I didn't have nearly as many unfortunate accidents caused by poor timing or bad button presses. Purists may still prefer the original game and its difficulty, but I gobbled up the remaster, finishing it in less than four days.

While we're talking about Games of the Month, let's pivot back to the Retro Talkshop Thread for the other Game of the Month we picked.

My family bought their first "real" computer - a Gateway 2000 desktop with a Pentium Pro 200 inside - right at the peak of Quake's influence on PC gaming. After putting the machine through its paces with a few PlayStation ports and classic DOS games, Quake was the first game that really blew me out of my socks. The dark atmosphere, fully 3D environment, and blazing fast gameplay were completely unlike the other shooters I'd seen up to that point, which seemed almost cartoony by comparison. I played through the Quake shareware countless times - trying out different graphics settings, console configurations, Redbook Audio soundtracks - but never actually played through the game until many years later where I used it (and its two official expansions) to break an 18-month-long gaming fast.

After loading Quake onto my retro PC, I'm surprised at how much I remember from that first episode: the six secrets in the first level, the low gravity secret level Ziggurat Vertigo, the giant lightning-shooting Shamblers that always seem to appear as an ambush, and the mad dash around Cthlon's lair once you realize all your weapons are ineffective. The remaining four episodes don't give the same nostalgic rush, especially as the difficulty spikes, but I still hugely appreciate Quake's aesthetic and its simple, fast-paced, explosive gameplay. It'll be worth checking out the recent remaster at some point, especially its new episodes.

With Quake in the record books, I started Quake II this afternoon, wondering if I'll be able to finish it before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth releases next week. On the portable front, after having so much fun with the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remaster, I decided it was worth picking up the Game Boy port of Donkey Kong that I started so many years ago.

And... that's it for the Switch version.

https://twitter.com/...64231148

It's more than just a nice coat of paint. They made a lot of subtle tweaks to the mechanics and physics. I finally managed to stun Mario with a big drop, but it's a lot tougher to do so and doesn't cause him to lose a life. I also noticed that the strategy that finally got me through Stage 5-2 in the GBA version - Stage 7-2 in this version - flat out doesn't work on the Switch, either because of physics changes or slight layout changes.

It made for a breezier experience, which I appreciated. The game certainly can't stand toe to toe with flagship Mario titles, but it's a yummy snack and a worthy remaster. It's also a trip to see Donkey Kong as a villain again.

Taking the advice from earlier in the thread, I'm moving on to Donkey Kong '94. I actually started the Virtual Console version on 3DS way back when that first dropped and made a decent amount of progress, but Loopy has my 3DS at the moment, so I'm going to start from scratch and hopefully duplicate the progress.

Indeed. And the circus-like levels were new for platformers. Maybe you're right. I'm definitely going to try it!

It's also worth noting that 'Glover' was announced a couple of years ago for most platforms, but once again we get it on a compilation for much less (physically). Nice.
