Playing DKC's Gameboy Color Port In Full
It's the Gameboy Color version of Donkey Kong Country! Now, DKC has always been one of my favorite games of all time. Literally, it was my first game, it means a lot to me and I've played it tons but I've played this particular version. Turns out, it's the worst version of three? Kind of a "Dead Dove Do Not Eat" situation, of course the older handheld version is the jankiest and roughest even if it was only by default which... it isn't.
I'll say, I got pretty tilted from time to time making my way through the game as hitboxes were weird, cameras were off, things that usually flow perfectly instead flow differently, but... ultimately I made it through and I'm satisfied with. While there was a lot to be frustrated with I'll say the game looks beautiful despite the low resolution, framerate, color palette and other such drawbacks to lower end handheld hardware from 20 years ago. Also, it has an original level in Chimp Caverns!
In other news as I played I talked about some stuff. Biggest topic, I just preordered an AYN Thor, which is a high end two screen clamshell retro handheld - basically the opposite of a GBC. I've also been playing lots of games like Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and Sword of the Sea, looking forward to lots of games like Shinobi and Silksong, planning streams, thinking about sitcoms, demurring from fetish talk and more besides. Fun talks I think.
With this done there's just one more Rare game to replay in the near future as part of the ongoing conceit this stream is a part of - Conker's Bad Fur Day.
