Title: "Video Game All-Stars" DKJr segment
Post by: marky_d on December 17, 2013, 04:19:15 pm
For those who haven't seen the 3 episodes of a local Colorado program from 1983, Video Game All-Stars, I would highly recommend them. They are pretty cool. I have watched them before, but I didn't notice what the player mentioned during the DKJr segment until today, referencing the "new game coming out" called Mario Bros. He says, "There's two new games coming by Nintendo. Mario Bros where these two guys gotta try to move up the factories of types of stuff. Like, I think it's up the side of a building and you're washing windows." Any idea what game he may be talking about? The Junior segment starts at 21:43, he mentions Mario Bros at 24:36, and note the Jumpman walking/jumping sounds at 23:48 (haha).

Sounds like Crazy Climber, maybe he just got confused.

Those DK walk/jump sounds on Junior! That's crazy. It's like the opposite of a DDK.

I'm going to assume that wasn't video editing but some sort of board hackery. Interesting!

You will notice later in the video that arcade had a "blue" junior with a DK control panel , so I assume that's the one the kid played on.
