    I absolutely love Crazy Kong. The Pizza place in the small mall on Long Island had one in one of those generic woodgrain bootleg cabinets that had a stencil type marquee. The arcade in that same mall had the real-deal but I always gravitated to CC instead. The awful sounds, the f'd up levels, and glitchy graphics were way too fun! I gotta say...I am jealous of that cab and would have traded a Pac Caberet in a second for one too! Nice find. I also remember a version where the levels were green instead of orange.

  • @darkojukic5793

    Hey John, great find. I am very surprised that someone actually owned one previously as it was a European game. And wasn't made for the US. I happen to also own a 'Crazy Kong' machine at home myself. I am currently 14 years old and since then, I have dedicated my life on Crazy Kong and all arcade games. I love it. I also started a little arcade machine collection of my own. Ever since my dad introduced me to Crazy Kong when I was 3, I was hooked. I would use all my spare change. After a week or so, the machine would be full. Ever since playing Crazy Kong, I have learned a lot of things. In Crazy Kong, Mario can wait underneath a ladder and a barrel won't hit him. Unlike Donkey Kong. On the forth level (Second level on Donkey Kong), Mario can walk through Donkey Kong. Those are just a few tricks/tips I know. I know many more, but that's for you guys to figure out. John, I hope you enjoy. It is a great game. Please look after it and keep it. You won't find that many. Quick question, do you happen to know a game called Pengo?? That's one of the games I own in my collection. I believe it was licensed by Sega. I you find one, can you add it to your collection?? Also, do you know anyone who has a Mole Hunter machine?? It is a extremely rare Data East game released in 1980. Very few machines were made. My dad played a Mole hunter machine in the local shop when he was young?? If you know anyone who has it, can you tell them to dump the rom so I can play it on Mame. Thank you, and once again, enjoy.

    The funny thing, John is, as you call this game "a weird version of Donkey Kong", that when I saw the first time Donkey Kong after having played Crazy Kong living in Europe, I thought that YOURS was "a weird version of Crazy Kong"! haha! BTW I think that the original board was a Falcon board. I still do remember the Name "Falcon" popping up on the screen back in time (1981) when playing the original Crazy Kong as a child.

    I've noticed the change in cars once again; compared to the first-gen Explorer you first had, the new Explorer is kind of a pain to load tall items (like arcade cabinets, for example) in the back of because the rear hatch area swoops way down, so you grabbed a last-gen Grand Cherokee. Good choice, they use their interior space well.

    Edit: Also Crazy Kong was THE Donkey Kong for Europe. Nintendo hired Falcon to make Crazy Kong since they couldn't meet the demand for Donkey Kong in the EU. The EU arcades had Crazy Kongs and they thought Donkey Kong was the knockoff!

But ended up playing a few of them myself. As far as the Poker Machine monitor for Joe, if he chooses there are LCD alternatives out there like an Ceronix LCD kit. Hope that helps Joe.

    When Jump man jumps, the sound is the same as Condor ‘unloading’ on Crazy Climber. The bouncing springs sounds are a sample of the Japanese CC falling - not the ‘oh noooo’ but an ‘ahhh’.

    Our local convenience store had Crazy Kong when I was a kid. It was the first "Donkey Kong" I ever played and we played the hell out of it. Great fun. Way more interesting than Pac Man. The one I remember showed Kong in a cage, I think it was Crazy Kong 2. That might be what your falcon board has. It had better sounds and colors than the version you have here. There was no top edge glitch and the extra lives were in color at the very top. On the Pie Factory level, if you shake left and right with the hammer just right, he will drop it and you can pick it up later. A bunch of us watched an older teen get to the kill screen once. We didn't know it was called a "kill screen" back then. I remember thinking it was kind of a lame rip off thing to do. To crash the game on a good player. It would be years before I seen a real Donkey Kong machine and I thought DK looked boring compared to CK. I didn't realize the Pie Factory came later on in the real DK. I was like "this sucks, it doesn't even have the pie level!"

    This is the orca board which uses the crazy kong II graphics, crazy Kong 1 uses green grinders on the barrel board. The glitches are correct, I have them on my falcon board also.
    It's really too bad you have not found a zaccaria.. but this will do 😉
    The falcon part one is a two board set and the other I have is the same style as you have there, but its falcon

  • @informedcitizenry874
    @informedcitizenry874 Před 5 lety +2

    Hey John great find. Early in the video you mention that Nintendo provided the assets to the manufacturers but not the code. I don't believe this is correct. I've done a side-by-side disassembly of DK and CK and match the binaries match precisely in most places. The differences generally can be chalked up first to some of the little anomalies we see in CK, but more to the hardware differences that required code changes to interface and control. The Crazy Climber architecture upon which CK is built is wildly incompatible with DK. It's a testament to Falcon (or whoever developed the conversion) that they were able to match the look as well as they did. You'll see, for instance, in CK Pauline doesn't shuffle her feet when crying for help. This is basically due to a limitation with the number of hardware sprites the game designers weren't clever enough to overcome--she's actually drawn in as a background character. IIRC the way the color ram is laid out explains why she "floats" above the platform.
    Sorry if I bored anyone, but I've been fascinated by this game since I first saw it at a donut shop in Long Beach, California some 35 years ago.

    I checked MAME and you definitely have the ORCA roms running in your ORCA board. I noticed the crazy climber sounds immediately as I love that game. Would be curious to see which Falcon version you have. According to MAME if you have the original romset, there will be no copyright and the colors will be very different than your ORCA board. If you have Part 2, it will include copyright info, and will say Part 2 as you mentioned in the video, plus the colors will be much closer to the ORCA version. Have fun with your new game.
