Donkey Kong on Atari 2600 retro games console

Featured on http://www.retrogamingcollector.com/Retro-Gaming-Videos/Atari-2600-Games/Atar...

Gameplay from Nintendo's Donkey Kong, converted by Coleco and playing on an Atari 2600 VCS retro games console. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

The Amstrad conversion by Ocean is pretty damn awesome. Might be worth trying.

Ive got to say though, considering how difficult it is to program atari 2600s, this is a great effort. Perhaps not as impressive as games with dozens of moving objects but still pretty good.

Since playing a few other versions of this game, my opinion of the Atari version has risen considerably. The graphics may be poor, but the gameplay is way better than say Intellivision or Oric versions.

Not yet, but I'll be sure to check it out sooner or later :)

I did know... I have one, and Donkey Kong to play on it too :D

Videos of that and the few other Colecovision games in my collection will be uploaded to youtube in the next couple of days.

That was my skill level with this game back in the day. Great memories though.

I think this is a better port than the Intellivision version.
