/vr/ - Retro Games

This needs to be on there. Along with 2 and maybe 3.

Perfect music & atmosphere, great gameplay, charming humor, and the original debut of my favorite Vidya Villains.

Posted this in /v/ but figured you guys would appreciate it more. More than likely your fav classic VGM has been done by this guy in this way. It's incredible

How long does it usually take /vr/ to beat Donkey Kong Country? I just sat down now and unintentionally did a kind of speed run, 1:15 was the time on the post-credits save. Palfag here by the way (not that it really matters.)

thissss

Playing this for the first time. In snow world now.

It is getting to the point where it's so difficult it's no longer fun. I made it to the 4th level of the snow world, and the next stage would have been a save point of a travel point, but I died since I only had 1 life left and now I have to beat all these difficult stages again in order to get back to where I was. I appreciate the difficulty, but I think this is too much.

Is DKC2 better in this regard? Or do I just suck? After the snow world, how many worlds are left?

i know where everything is at and i breeze through it in no time. i love this game.

Donkey Kong Country was to the SNES what Doom was to the PC:

>pushed graphics technology beyond the platform's limits that nobody could have guessed possible beforehand*
>perfect music
>perfect art direction
>immaculate level design
>great replayability value

Footnote:
* SuperFX games don't count. Games using the SuperFX chip looked as SuperFX games were expected to look. Donkey Kong Country's graphics were done without any auxiliary hardware, done entirely by the wizardry of Rare's experienced programmers

Ummm, not to be rude, anon, but probably like all the high-res renders used in the promotional materials?

Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good.
