I dont like that marquee at all, purple letters? The theme of Castlevania is perfect for a dedicated cab. Dracula's, monsters, bats, evil castles etc. Think: Dark, grim, blood

a dedicated Nintendo cab is way cooler than a PlayChoice.

Did you see the pictures of that guy on klov who's making a dedicated DK'94?

He did a great job on the side art, the cabinet will be painted of course.  ;)

I like the PlayChoice cabs, but I think the side-art is quit dull. No theme just letters. That's why I prefer the other Nintendo cabs

Nice DK'94. a woody LOL

Don't think so, but they made a lot of great (metal) ones for the Playchoice:





makes me want to own one even more!  ;D

DK '94 wiki:

Donkey Kong (ドンキーコング Donkī Kongu?) is a platform game developed in 1994 by Nintendo for the Game Boy handheld video game system, which also contains puzzle elements. Donkey Kong is loosely based on the 1981 arcade game of the same name and its sequel Donkey Kong Jr. The game was known under the working title Donkey Kong '94 before the release.[1] Like in the original arcade and NES version, the player takes control of Mario and must rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong (who are both given updated character designs for this game). Donkey Kong Jr. also makes a guest appearance in the game on some levels, helping his father hinder Mario's progress. This was the first Game Boy title designed with enhanced features when played on the Super Game Boy. It features gameplay elements from Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Super Mario Bros. 2.

I Like DK 94, its a nice conversion on the GB

And if you play it on the GBA, it has color too, which makes it more attractive:

Yes, but you can also play the game on your tv with a Super Gameboy, it has some colors and even a DK bezel.
