In my first Clone Conversations video (See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_e8fRpl1h4 ), I discussed DOS clones and focused my attention on the Donkey-Kong-esque Aldo games - Aldo's Adventure, Aldo's Assault, and Aldo Again. This video is an extension of my review on the series, a full playthrough of the Aldo games (in addition to an attempted run of Ladder, the Aldo Series' predecessor and inspiration source).

I hope this video proves entertaining! The Aldo series is at times even more fun than its original origins (Donkey Kong, of course!). =)

Make sure to enable annotations - among other things, links are provided to download locations for each game in annotations at the end of the video. Alternatively, simply check out the following links. (These games are all provided as freeware or abandonware.)

I apologize for the lack of splash screens comparing Aldo's Adventure gameplay to its Ladder-originated levels. Ultimately, the idea was scrapped, since I was showing all of Ladder's levels in the last part of the video anyways.

This is my first-ever video over 10 minutes here on YouTube, so I tried to make my unlimited time really worth it. Hope you guys enjoy! :3

And as always, please comment, rate, subscribe! Thank you! :3
