Why not a CK instead of a DK ?

Everybody has a DK these days..  ;)

I have a Crazy Kong. Well.... the ubercool CK VFD game. Nonetheless, it is the best DK-like handheld ever made. Forget about the Nintendo clamshell and the Coleco table top. Gakken Crazy Kong rules! And the only one with the barrels and the elevators stage!

I had great moment on my beloved CBS Colecovision  :-*
Zaxxon is an awesome port! Also had a lot of fun with Time Pilot, Donkey Kong, Subroc, Mappy, Star Trek, Turbo...  8)

I think the Atari 8 bit computers had the consistently best arcade conversions.   Colecovision had some great ones as well but they had a much more limited selection and they were generally several years later than the Atari 800 counterparts.

We would make a nice row from these computers at next Eurocade, switch off all the cabs in the main room, gather all the arcade addicts to the "pc room" and decide it after checking with our own eyes. ;D

for older arcade game, i'd say coleco.

for newer (i means after 1985) X68000 is the best.
