Crazy Kong (Scramble Hardware) [ckongs] 154,200

Crazy Kong is an arcade game created by Falcon, released in 1981.
It is similar to Nintendo's Donkey Kong. Although commonly believed to be a bootleg version, the game was officially licensed for operation in Japan when Nintendo couldn't keep up with demand at home (even though Donkey Kong was still released in Japan), and is based on different hardware. the game retains all the gameplay elements of Donkey Kong, but has all of the graphics redrawn and re-colourized.
This Bootleg version of Falcon's "Crazy Kong - Part II" has additional in-game music, also the original 'Warp to level 2' trick doesn't work.

Looks like "Crazy Kong" is shitting out the barrels.

[@Freejack1971]

I wonder what the bootleg scene was like back in 1981--when there was no internet community for this kind of thing.

Great score, man, wish somebody in Youngstown, Ohio would go high 681,500+ on the hardware version of Crazy Kong version.

Everything is different for this game; the background music, color, sound, and the movement stutters. It was different for 'Donkey Kong Jr.' Even 'Ice Climber' was different.

I am confused. Do you mean that the color palette was hard wired into the motherboard of the video game? So Pac mam is going to look this bad if it were copied onto this motherboard? This looks like the game motherboard has a fixed number of specific colors.

This is also Frogger hardware

[@ahrichards5241]

@Electro Gamer 322 Well they're both basically just Galaxian hardware with 2 Z80 CPUs for better sound quality

[@KurtWoloch]

@@ahrichards5241 Basically... the difference is that Namco made Galaxian while Konami made Frogger, Amidar, Scramble and Turtles, which all seem to rely on the same or at least similar hardware, but not all use the scrolling capabilities of that hardware. In this case, it seems to be most similar to Turtles, actually, because they took over some of the programming of the sound CPU, in that this variant of Donkey Kong actually uses some of the sounds and melodies you can also hear in Turtles.

Why is Yankee Doodle playing?

[@magnusdiridian]

because they couldn't get enter sandman

[@trentonfoster3629]

Barney And Friends Theme Song is a great idea.

[@mariodykstra6555]

The tune was "Yankee Doodle"

[@liamprice7444]

Its actually Amidar Hardware

[@tron3entertainment]

Is that Mario or a Smurf?

適当なビープ音と毒々しい配色、コングが動かないなどチープさが全開で逆に親近感がわく。

[@troywright359]

Intimacy? 😂😂
