Donkey Kong Country

[KingKovu44]

The first three are pretty good. Some of the levels are insanely hard. For example, in one level, you have to ride in a mine cart and avoid gaps in the track and in another you have to make your way through a factory where the lights keep turning on and off, blacking out everything including the enemies.

@ KingKovu44 - Ah, I see. That makes sense. It's still a shame, though.

[Daenerys]

There's a level JUST like that in Donkey Kong Country Returns!!! It was crazy hard! I kept falling in the dumb gapes and you have to avoid those little flying things.

[KingKovu44]

I don't think I got that far yet. I'm still stuck on the second level of the first world.

I've finished Country Returns 2-3 times, don't mean to brag

[KingKovu44]

I don't consider that bragging. In fact, I think that's cool. When I was playing the first three games, it took me several times to beat them and innumerable tries to beat some of the levels, especially in the second and third games, where you have hazards like lava and a few enemies that can't be beaten at all.

[Daenerys]

Have you played country returns?

[KingKovu44]

Yes, once or twice. Basically just enough to get past the first level.

Oh I have VIVID memories of DKC...

For one, I tried for the now "famous" Blockbuster competition...I was instantly eliminated. Oh if only I knew those carts would be worth hundreds of dollars...

I also remembered the first time I played. Rented that AND Animaniacs from Blockbuster then went to the nearby McDonalds for a 2 cheeseburger meal (don't ask me why I remember that.) I remember SNES games were in similar cases as the movies but they were green around the edges instead of black.

I originally juts owned the first game. After collecting, I got the other 2. 100% on the first two (thanks strategy guides!)

P.S. The McDonalds AND Blockbuster are still there after all these years.

[KingKovu44]

I remember the strategy guides. Not only were they helpful, but they were fun to read (Unless, of course, it was a hard level and the page didn't have much information).
