@tom11zz884 WRONG! Intellivision actually wasn't a bad system. It's primary competitor was the Atari 2600 but a lot of it's games still held up well even when the next generation of systems was introduced. This game is a deliberate fuck up on the part of Coleco to make their games look better on their own system. If you think this looks bad, you should see the original Donkey Kong for Intellivision. Intellivision games actually look good when they're done right.
It really sucks how the music gets interrupted and restarts whenever you move. What's up with that? Can't the Intellivision play music and animate a sprite at the same time?
Although Colecos port of DK to the INTV is completely boched, this version of DKjr is actually pretty good. It has three of the four stages, and it plays pretty well. Sure, it could have looked better, but why would a company that had their own console, and the license to a popular arcade game make it look better on their competitors system?
this was the fist 16 bit system and was better than atari in a few ways. coleco did this to make there console look more like the arcade version. bissness is bissness. i own and play my intellivision I and II every day its 29 years old lets see a xbox that old lol thx for the post lovein it.
@Overlord9014 Ummm...because Coleco had Colecovision and didn't want their competitors systems to look too good so they deliberately tanked their games.
its colecos fault they did it if mattel was in charge it wouldve b3een the bet port of that age well maybe a little short to colecovision but better animation
much better than atari the ONLY thing that NEEDED to be tinkered with is mario his hat needs to be red and he should have an outfit AND donkey kongs cage should have had bARS
I didn't realize Coleco released this for Intv and with 3 screens. This is actually a great port for the Intellivision and amazingly superior to DK for intv. I wonder why dk didn't have 3 screens too like the Colecovision version. It seems the sequels to these games were far better written e.g. pacman versus ms pacman for the 2600 and intv etc.
Having played both games, I really don't see why Junior should be "amazingly superior" except for 1 extra level more. They play pretty much the same. Both were lame compared to the Coleco or Nes versions.
@Overlord9014 lol...Mario was not the star of these games back then..in fact he really didnt have a name until later on...it was always donkey and junior who were the stars of the games in the early 80's
@nuktubian No it doesn't. It just shows how a deliberate act of sabotage can make an otherwise excellent system look bad. There's homebrewers out there now who can make much better looking games than this for the Intellivision.
Coleco purposely tried to sabotage Atari and Intellivision by making crappy versions for them in order to make the Colecovsion version look good, which it did, but it was very slimy of Coleco. Even the Atari 2600 had the capability of looking and sounding better than this.
It's like the hardware was saying "Oh, we'll play the music in a sec... hang on, I just have a sound effect to play first."
Thanks for this!
Lol
"Yellow dwarf saves the grinch from a Muppet with a blue hat" Should be the title
OH my... and I thought Donkey Kong on Intellevision was bad.... I MUST HAVE THIS!
I like this one better then the ocean donkey Kong because it gives me the nightmares
DK looks like The Abominable Snowman.Mario looks like uh I have no idea.DK.Jr looks odd as do the jaws
D.K. looks like a 4-legged spider.Mario resembles a purple Smurf.
Lol 😂
Hatted squidward?
Donkey Kong in the cage looks like skeletor from He Man..lol
Lol 😂😂 😂

Music does the same to its Popeye game too.
Um actually, it's when a sound effect plays, not when a sprite is animated.
(Sorry for being a nerd.)

I don't see why Jr is much better than Donkey Kong, except for 1 level more. The gameplay and lousy graphics are on the same level.
@@montana01971 lol... you're replying to a comment I made over a decade ago friend... Btw, I still find INTV DKjr to be somewhat enjoyable.
this was the fist 16 bit system and was better than atari in a few ways. coleco did this to make there console look more like the arcade version. bissness is bissness. i own and play my intellivision I and II every day its 29 years old lets see a xbox that old lol thx for the post lovein it.
The song at the end is just sad.
WHY IS DONKEY KONG GREEN? WHY IS MARIO PURPLE? WHY IS D.K.JR GREEN WITH A WHITE SHIRT? SOMEBODY TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!
@Overlord9014

I had 1 friend that had intellivision but I did not care for it.
its colecos fault they did it if mattel was in charge it wouldve b3een the bet port of that age well maybe a little short to colecovision but better animation
much better than atari the ONLY thing that NEEDED to be tinkered with is mario his hat needs to be red and he should have an outfit AND donkey kongs cage should have had bARS
The music starting and stopping is also annoying.

I hope they do for this what they did for DK on the intellivision... that said it actually is one of colecos better games
NES is a great system.
Game boy too
despite the lazy graphics of Mario and Kong I loved this game.
I saw in the website of Intellivision at the time that Coleco didn't know how to write program properly. Thus making poorly games.
@Overlord9014 lol...Mario was not the star of these games back then..in fact he really didnt have a name until later on...it was always donkey and junior who were the stars of the games in the early 80's
Donkey Kong Jr. rules!!
This game succs
Why is Mario looks like a naked purple Smurf
@nuktubian
No it doesn't. It just shows how a deliberate act of sabotage can make an otherwise excellent system look bad. There's homebrewers out there now who can make much better looking games than this for the Intellivision.
@7megahertz You're so right. So many NOOBs. =) Their 1st console was probably a PS2.

na epoca era o melhor grafico para uma boa jogatina!
Não era n kkkk,a versão Colecovision já era bem superior
I the atari 2600 version was bad!!! This runs a close race with it!!
Judging by the looks of this game, we can see why Intellision failed big time..lol
inh
o site reino dos cogumelos dis o mesmo! ~-~
BaNaNa PlAeSe
i think it is better than atari because of da fruit it still hasd bad graphics!LOL just kidding its awsome as hell
Jesus, what a horrible port.
Terrible port
Wow that really looks like shit.
This is an ugly game.
Yep....so glad I didn't have intellivision game console
Its a great game but THIS CONTROL SUCKASS
