    Makes me REALLY miss the 80s and 90s..
    I remember CLEARLY when DKC was launched.. it was BIG.. and i got it that christmas and fucking LOVED it.. and i still love it to this day.

      I can't imagine the hype! I was born in '95, so obviously can't relate, but I played these games religiously.
      And still do every once in a while.
      Thanks for sharing the memories. :)

      Me too! I totally loved the game but then someone robbed my house and stole a bunch of things including the game. I was really upset but at least my mom bought another copy a month later.

      I remember it too. Imagine being me, the second child, who usually had to endure a couple hours of watching my older brother playing the new games before getting my turn. Then one day I went with my mom to the video store alone (a RARE occurrence) and guess what game I rented :D I remember how anxious I was to get home before my brother (I can't remember where he was). I think it was my first experience of playing a game by myself, figuring out the mechanics and stuff. Hell, even dying and keeping playing felt weird.

    What I find most amazing about DKC is that, while it was sold on its advanced graphics, that is not the reason people still fondly remember and play it. It is just a damn good game, even in 2023.

    • @johneygd
      @johneygd 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      The Pumpking King yeah indeed, i was alway’s wondering if they still had those untouched original images of the game or even better,what if they stillhave those original 3D models of those characters & backgrounds laying around somewhere.
      Also, if they had to rework all sprites & backgrounds by hand rather then using an automated process, then it actually did make no sense using those cgi computers.

      Jordan Lee just mind blowing how they compressed the game to fit on 32 megabit cartride, but who knows how much more better the would,ve looked and sounded if it was brought to the neogeo avs system, wich was way more advanced then the snes,a higher res,more colors onscreen,more soundchannels etc,,,

      Not to get too philosophical here... but "You never feel truly rich until you appreciate what you have". :)
      I'm really satisfied with 11k subs, Think about it...over 11.000 people, that's a huge number, more than would fit in my local theater, and the great thing is, I can still reply to almost all comments and recognize many names in the comments, which would be a lot harder if had 100k subs. Don't get me wrong It's good to be a little competitive and have dreams about having like 100k subs, but I think it would also add a lot more burden and perhaps even remove some of the fun out of making videos.
      Anyway.. that was my little rand :) Good luck with your channel!

    One of my favorite games of all time! Amazing soundtrack, smooth game play. When I first played this I had no understanding of game development or computer science so it never occurred to me how groundbreaking this game was!

    This game right here made me fall in love with videogames. This was IT.

    I’ve been waiting years for a sequel to this video on the making of Donkey Kong Country 2 😭
    I’ve always wondered how a new DKC video would do with your newer, more in-depth 20 minute format as opposed to the 10 minute format.
    Regardless, thank you for the continued quality content!!

    • @strafefox

      I going to update this video next year and add a lot of new info including DKC2 :)

    Just wanted to comment by saying that I really enjoy your videos! I stumbled across your channel yesterday and I've been enjoying going through your vids to the point that I'm always looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for that! Can't wait to get started on Secret of Mana after work. Cheers to you!

    Damn dude, the amount of work and effort you put into producing this video is nuts! It´s really fun to see how you used material from the old demo-VHS combined with your own work. Good stuff and great commentary.

    Wow the editing on your video is insane. It just seems so professional, it's hard to believe you have so few subscribers.

  • @விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்

    Man, you are long overdue for making an SNK and metal slug retrospective.

    I'll probably never forget sitting in the living room and playing DKC on the family-CRT.
    Such a great game.

    I was 10 when this game came out, and I remember the graphics just blew my mind. Especially the fact that this would run on the same console where I played Super Mario World. Back then everyone was saying it looked "photo-realistic"... funny how that's not a word anymore.

  • @CommodoreFan64
    @CommodoreFan64 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome video, as this is seriously one of my favorite games on the SNES, & more so now knowing what Rare did to get the game too run on the SNES.

    • @strafefox
      @strafefox  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can imagine why, The DKC games are really fun platformers! Dkc2 is personally my favorite of the series.

    i cant recall who bought me the Genesis mom, dad, uncle, aunt, family friend etc. but that Aladdin joint was one of the greatest. As a kid of the 90s, born in the late 80s, i played the hell outta it along with Street Fighter, Cool Spot, Sonic, Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, etc.

  • @officergregorystevens5765
    @officergregorystevens5765 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    OK so this explains to me then why DKC reminds me of the Aladdin game so much. I never even played Aladdin growing up, was more of a DOS gamer. Thanks for the vid.
