THE 90’s Podcast - S04-E03 - Donkey Kong Country (SNES) (1994)

This week John is Joined by Gregg, as we spend a while talking about Donkey Kong Country. We look at how the game was revolutionary for its time, and how it is underrated in terms of its genre. We talk about a unique playstyle, as well as how the SNES in the US was different to the UK version, as well as John’s theory as to “Emily Osment Syndrome”, and how it relates to Donkey Kong. We also look at how it was made, how these apes imitated horses. And head off on many tangents as well.

 

Also we talk home studios, Street Games, and if John should partake in the phenomenon that is Fortnight.
