Podcasts about donkey kong junior

As the Hit Parade podcast recently taught us, each year Billboard declares an official "Song of the Summer" based on chart performance. We're taking a more subjective approach, and choosing which songs we most associate with each summer of the 1980s. Of course you'll find some Go-Go's and some Kenny Loggins on our list (come on, it's us), but perhaps we'll surprise you with a choice or two. And which songs would you pick? What reminds you of the summer of 1984, as you biked through the heat to the arcade in search of Donkey Kong Junior? (Is it Huey Lewis? It's probably Huey Lewis.) Let us know! And prepare for next week, when we'll take on the summer songs of the 1990s. It'll be intense. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram!

 In this episode the gang talks about Donkey Kong Jr. and its translations to their favorite retro consoles!Download Here Video Version Here

As we head into the final quarter of 1988, we have three classic Nintendo games appearing on what is decidedly NOT a classic Nintendo console. Atari published ports of three vintage Nintendo creations (Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, and Mario Bros.) on a variety of platforms in late 1988, including the 2600, their various 8-bit platforms, and as seen here the 7800. While the 7800 releases can't quite punch with the actual Nintendo-programmed NES versions, the fact that these three carts exist at all turns out to be more than enough to fill an episode with speculation and musings. I'm pretty sure I accidentally mixed up the names Atari Inc. and Atari Corp. here once again, so apologies for that, sticklers. Also this episode, a little touch of errata: I somehow overlooked the fact that Centipede appeared at the 7800's launch in May 1986, so that also gets some air time this week. Unlike the Nintendo conversions, this take on Centipede is top-notch, with some surprisingly cool additions courtesy of General Computing Corp.

Our friend Kevin Cafferty is back for a Top 4 1/2 List dedicated to our favorite weird city: Woonsocket, Rhode Island! Both Kevin and Kevin (lot of Kevins on the show this week) spent way too much time in Woonsocket back in the 80s, and remember it all too well. Our conversation includes: Fine Woonsocket dining (weiners and coffee milk, fish and chips, egg rolls and jazz), movies at the Stadium Theatre and Cinemas 1-2-3 (and 4), thrift shopping at the flea market and Joe's Moldy Oldies, Pac-Man at Pizza Hut, Donkey Kong Junior at Social Donut, crazy Rhode Island cable TV shows, the majesty of Autumnfest, and lots more northern Rhode Island weirdness. (When you've had enough, you can slip right over the border to Massachusetts. It's pretty weird there too.) Check out Kevin Cafferty's podcasts: Gleaming the Tube!

During the development of Donkey Kong, many ideas and concepts were laid out, so many in fact that not all could fit in one game. Shigeru Miyamoto wanted a sequel to Donkey Kong and wanted Donkey Kong to be playable character, but it was not to be. Enter, Donkey Kong Junior, the son of DK, who must rescue his father from Mario. This is the only title featuring Mario as the bad guy and it sure made an impact, enjoy the episode.

What the arrival of a retro-tinged Donkey Kong Jr. in Mario Kart Tour means for the past, present, and future of Donkey Kong continuity!

Topic: Super Mario Bros Tutorial   To get us off the rather serious, or rather, semi-serious topic of last week, I felt it was wise to move on to something completely different.  With a lot of people stuck inside as of late, I felt that we should consider video games as an avenue of discussion.  Since a great majority of Nerds love video games, we'll start off simple, and with the most recognizable character in Video Games.  So we're discussing and starting our topic on Super Mario Bros. and it's surprisingly lengthy history.     History of Nintendo Founded in 1889 as a Playing Card Company In 1975, the Company began pivoting toward electronics and Game Cabinets in Arcardes Donkey Kong released in 1981 Jumpman was introduced as company Mascot, better known today as Mario These games are developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, who would go on to be the ‘Walt Disney’ of Nintendo In 1980, Game and Watch series of games released, popular hand held games In 1983, Nintendo releases the ‘Famicom’ or ‘Family Computer’ as a video game console in Japan. It is released worldwide in 1985 as the ‘Nintendo Entertainment System’ 1985 Also sees Mario’s First Major outing in ‘Super Mario Brothers’. In 1988, Nintendo began publishing ‘Nintendo Power’, a monthly magazine for their new games and fan magazine. By 1989, Nintendo released the ‘Game Boy’ a portable video game console. It is arguably, the most successful and most sold video game console, (If you include it’s various iterations) Nintendo stays strong in the Handheld market through out release In 1991, Nintendo and Sony begin work and development on CD Addon for Super Nintendo, but as CES(Consumer Electronics Show) in 1991, Nintendo backed out of the deal and went with Philips instead. The decision to break partnership with Sony caused Sony to develop the PlayStation, Nintendo’s biggest rival in the console market to date. 1996 sees release of Nintendo 64, Nintendo’s reliance on cartages over CDs causes a lot of its 3rd party publishers to move on to other consoles. 2002 saw Satoru Iwata becoming President of company, leading the company through many new consoles 2006 sees release of the Wii, becoming a major Success for Nintendo and the most dominate 7th generation console 2012 sees release of the Wii U, the successor to the Wii, bring in HD graphics. It is considered a failure due to lack of understanding how to use the system by consumers and gave developers In 2015, Satoru Iwata dies due to complications at 55 In 2016, Nintendo release the NES Classic, a smaller device with Classic NES Controllers that included a number of popular NES titles. It did the same in 2017 with the SNES Classic.  Due to high demand and low inventory, a rather later secondary market continues to sell the consoles at double or triple the original price 2017 sees the release of the Switch, merging both Handheld and console gaming in to one device for Nintendo   Nintendo Consoles 1985 – Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) (3rd Generation) 2016 – NES Classic Edition 1989 – Nintendo Game Boy (GB) 1998 – Game Boy Color (GBC) 2001 – Game Boy Advance(GBA) 1991 – Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) (4th Generation) 2017 – SNES Classic Edition 1995 – Nintendo Virtual Boy 1996 – Nintendo 64 (N64) (5th Generation) 2001 – Nintendo GameCube (GCN) (6th Generation) 2004 – Nintendo DS(Dual Screen) (DS) 2011 Nintendo 3DS (3DS) 2006 – Nintendo Wii (Wii) (7th Generation) 2012 – Nintendo Wii U (Wii U) (8th Generation) 2017 – Nintendo Switch (Switch) (9th Generation)     History of Mario Started life as ‘Jumpman’ in original Donkey Kong(1981) game. Name was later changed to Mario is Donkey Kong Junior where he is a villain. He would get his brother Luigi and star in his own game Mario Brothers(1982). This also marked the first time he was noted for being Italian and a plumber. Mario gets his name from ‘Mario Segale’, Landlord for the Nintendo of America’s offices at the time. Mario has appeared in over 200+ video game series Confusing Last Name, joked as “Mario Mario”, hence Mario Brothers, but no official Nintendo Stance on the last name   Characters of Mario Princess Peach(Princess Toadstool) Ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, main Love Interest, usually being held captive, but usually very resourceful, and can float/fly Luigi Younger brother to Mario, often portrayed as a coward and scared, is lighter and has more floatier jumps Bowser (King Koopa) Main Antagonist, a giant Bull/Turtle leader of the Koopa Race(Evil turtles) wants to marry Princess Peach Bowser Jr Bowser’s Canonical Son Koopalings Initially Boswer’s children, but later recon to be Bowser’s minions Toad A loyal Subject of Princess Peach and recurring assistant/character to Mario and Luigi Toadette A female version of Toad Donkey Kong A big Ape, originally intended to be King Kong, he kidnapped Paluine in his own game and made Mario come to save him.  While he has never appeared in a Mainline Mario game, he is a staple of Mario’s various Spin Offs, including Mario Kart and Mario Party. Diddy Kong A younger Cousin to Donkey Kong, he is portrayed a smaller monkey with a tail, a cap, and wearing a t-shirt. Princess Daisy Lead Princess in Game Boy Mario titles, she is best friends with Princess Peach, often portrayed as a tomboy and upbeat personality Rosalina While not an official princess, she often portrayed in similar fashion.  She is portrayed as mysterious, wise, and worldly Pauline Original captured heroine of Donkey Kong, has made spare appearance in other Mario titles, most recently as leader of New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey Yoshi A rideable dinosaur for Mario and company. He has his own games where he is the hero. He is portrays as an innocent child with a long tongue that eats enemies and turns them to Eggs.  He was in original Design documents for NES Mario games, but wasn’t realized until Super Mario World Cappy A newer character introduced in Mario Odyssey, he is a sentient hat that replaces Mario’s classic had when it is destroyed Wario Mario’s Rival and a negative mirror to Mario, portrayed as money hungry and glutinous, often trying to best Mario whenever possible. He has a spin off of games that are semi-irrelevant and weird by intention.  The name "Wario" is a portmanteau of "Mario" with the Japanese adjective warui (悪い) meaning "bad"; hence, a "bad Mario" Waluigi Similar to Wario, he is Luigi’s Rival and mirror to Luigi, portrayed with long lanky arms and willing to cheat to win.  Though he has never starred in his own game, never seen without Wario, and never appeared in any mainline Mario Games, he has a cult following and is the subject of lots of Internet Memes and jokes.   Mainline Mario Titles There are 21 mainline Mario games, with atleast 10 rereleases for alternate Hardware.  Most games revolve around Bowser causing havoc in his efforts to take over the Mushroom Kingdom.  This often is forms in Princess Peach and her Castle being taken over the Bowser, and Mario attempting to save Princess Peach.  In other cases, Bowser has unleashed or tapped in to various new abilities, worlds, or associates to assist him in getting Princess Peach to Marry him and for him to take over the Mushroom Kingdom.   Mario is the primary hero of these games, with Luigi as a second player option; in more recent games, Luigi has slightly different abilities over Mario, leading to different gameplay.  Other games introduce Princess Peach or Toad as alternate characters that can be played, each of whom offer their own unique abilities that allow them navigate the game in different ways.  Mario’s goal is march through each level in a world or land, in order to reach the Castle and defeat a boss that will unlock the next world or land.  At the end, Mario must face off against Bowser in his castle/base to defeat him and save Princess Peach.   While Mario has little assistance outside of his brother, he can gain access to a number of power ups.  Most notably are: Super Mushroom - Makes Mario taller and capable of breaking blocks with a punch Fire Flower – Make Mario capable of throwing Fireballs Tanuki Leaf/Super Feather – Gives Mario the ability to fly and spin to defeat enemies Super Star – Makes Mario immune to any damage he might take for a limited time, instantly defeat enemies Yoshi – A rideable Dinosaur that Mario can ride and gain access to new abilities Each game has its own unique power ups, some that reappear in other games, with others that do so only in that title.  If Mario gets hit by an enemy, he will lose whatever power-up he most recently had and transform back into his original form.  A following hit will cause him to lose a life, and Mario will need to start back from the beginning of the level, or closest check point that he cleared.   Most enemies in the game can be beat by hopping on top of them, punching them when they are close enough in later games, or attacking them with a power up.  Some enemies can only be defeated by some power-ups.  Bosses often take about 3 hits or more, depending on the game.   The mainline Mario games include: Super Mario Bros. (1985) – NES First major Mario game, released with NES in America, often as a bundle. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (1999) - GBC Rereleased on Game Boy Color with updated over world Map Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986) - NES Technically Super Mario Bros 2 in Japan, it was considered too difficult for American Gamers and was not released in America until Super Mario All-Stars(1993)   Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988) – NES Originally published in Japan as Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, a tie in with a Japanese TV Channel’s Mascots.  It was released in the West as Super Mario Bros. 2 as Nintendo felt it would be easier and better fit for Western Gamers.  Super Mario Bros. 2 takes place in Mario’s dream.

The pills are thrown one at a time and travel downward at a consistent pace. The goal is to connect four of the same red, yellow, or blue colors together, with atleast one Virus among them.  Once matched, they’ll get removed, along with the virus.  Each Pill has two colors on it, so if one of them disappears, the other will drop down if able to.   Dr. Mario has had numerous rereleases for each console.   Kart Racing Games Super Mario Kart (1992) Considered the most popular Spinoff, Mario Kart sees various characters in the Mario cannon racing around a themed track.  What makes it unusual to traditional racing games is that characters can collect items and use them against their enemies, allowing character to progress or hinder other players in the process.  The game has a secondary Battle-mode, where the characters are on a map and use the same items to attach other players with; there hits will cause a player to lose, with the last standing player being considered the winner.  The series has had multiple iterations across all of Nintendo’s platforms, each adding new elements.  Super Mario Kart (1992) - SNES Mario Kart 64 (1996) - N64 Mario Kart: Super Circuit (2001) - GBA Mario Kart: Double Dash (2003) - GCN Mario Kart DS (2005) - DS Mario Kart Wii (2008) - Wii Mario Kart 7 (2011) - 3DS Mario Kart 8 (2014) - Wii U Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017) – Switch (Rerelease with added content from Wii U version)   Role-Playing Games Super Mario RPG: Legends of the Seven Stars (1996) - SNES The first RPG in the Mario series, created by Square, it treated the game like a traditional RPG Game of the 90s with Mario Elements.  It was the first game to ever represent Mario in a 3D fashion.  Never rereleased on to other consoles outside of the Super NES Classic. Paper Mario (2001) – N64 Created by Intelligent Systems, it shows Mario in a chibi-2D form, similar to a stamp or paper cut out, as he navigates the Mushroom Kingdom to saver Princess Peach from Bowser.  The game adds a number of Puzzles and unique design choices for the look of the Mario World.  It spawned other games of its own, including: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004) – GCN Super Paper Mario (2007) - Wii Paper Mario: Sticker Star (2012) – 3DS Paper Mario: Color Splash (2016) – Wii U Mario & Luigi Series Created by AlphaDream, it follows Mario and Luigi on the Game Boy and DS hardware as they navigate a wackier version of the Mushroom Kingdom.  These games are unique in that there are only ever two party members in Mario and Luigi, they have special team up attacks, and is based off timing and elaborate attacks.  This series also plays more comedic, with lots of in joke at the expensive of other Nintendo Titles/character and gaming tropes.  Other games include: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003) - GBA Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (2005) – DS Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story (2009) – DS Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (2013) – 3DS Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (2015) – 3DS Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (2017) – Switch A more recent entry, created by Ubisoft, it is a crossover between Mario and the Raving Rabbids Franchise.  It is also the first Tactical Strategy RPG for Mario, as Mario must navigate a space and defeat enemies, using the humor and weapons of Raving Rabbids Franchise.  Very comedic and light hearted, a unique gameplay that mirrors more realistic tactical games, but with a more light hearted setting.    Party Games Mario Party (1998) – N64 Developed by Hudson Soft, it follows characters from the Mario universe playing a board game. Each character represents a board piece on the game, with four players playing each game regardless.  Players take turns rolling dice, deciding how far the progress on the map, landing on tiles that either reward or take coins, offer special bonus or penalties, or trigger events.  At the end of each round in which each player has gone once, players will be asked to play a mini-game to earn additional coins.  Some mini-games free-for-all, 3vs1, or 2vs2, based off what tiles you landed upon.  Players are rewarded more coins based off their results in the mini-games.  The intent of the coins is to get to the Tile selling Stars and buy the Star, with the player with the Most Stars winning.  Stars can be awarded via special events, and even stolen by other players if they land on certain tiles.  At the end of the game, additional Stars are awarded to players that performed well during the entire game, and the player with the most stars win.    The series has been adopted on to multiple consoles since the N64, and always include four players.  Recent entries have had all players working together at the same time, and had board games maps that don’t circle themselves.  Mini-games are always swapped out and rarely reused for each game, with new mini-games developed to match each console’s Hardware.    Titles include: Mario Party (1998) - N64 Mario Party 2 (1999) - N64 Mario Party 3 (2000) - N64 Mario Party 4 (2002) - GCN Mario Party 5 (2003) - GCN Mario Party 6 (2004) - GCN Mario Party 7 (2005) - GCN Mario Party 8 (2007) - Wii Mario Party 9 (2012) - Wii Mario Party 10 (2015) - Wii U Super Mario Party (2018) - Switch   Sport Titles: Mario and company have been in a number of sport cross overs.  Most sport games are taken as straight games with Mario Characters in them, versus some games have more fantastical elements gameplay elements added in.  These Genre include: Mario Tennis Mario Golf Mario Baseball Mario Soccer Mario Basketball Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games A crossover with Mario and Sonic characters where they compete in Olympic style games.   Educational: Mario has taken part in a number of Educational games, some teaching typing, geography, and history.  These games initially not released on Nintendo hardware, instead for the PC and Mac, but were eventually ported over to the NES and SNES.  These games, as educational games, did not fair well, and were poorly reviewed.   Fighting: Super Smash Bros. (1999) – N64 While not a direct Mario Title, Mario and company have been mainstay regulars of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros series since its inception.  Mario is often the first playable character, or listed as the first from the select screen.  Mario, much as the other characters, are portrayed as close counterparts to their own games, using similar moves and abilities from their games. These include: Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001) – GCN Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008) – Wii Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (2014) – Wii U & 3DS Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018) – Switch     Homework: Super Mario Brothers 1 Mario Party Mario Kart     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH2wGpEZVgE https://youtu.be/RQ-m6UFw6PQ?t=5649 https://youtu.be/SlFJv01rhLA

And now, this week, Donkey Kong Junior steps - make that leaps - up to claim his own place as daddy-saver. Will he do the family proud? If not, there's always "Sharknado IV".

Alison Woods, Atari Graphic Designer Alison Woods was a graphic designer at Atari from 1982 to 1984. She designed the packaging for the computer versions of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Pole Position, Robotron, Food Fight, and other products. Later, she was Vice President and Creative Director at Kidsoft, a CD-ROM based software magazine for kids. This interview took place on May 26, 2016. Teaser quotes: "I wanted to have an exploding robot on the front of the package, and that was deemed too violent." "One guy said to the other guy, 'See? I told you not to pay 'em!' I'm thinking, 'Oh my god, what am I dealing with here?'" Alison's web site: http://www.alisonwoods.com

We're back from a long day of 1980s-style silliness in the middle of Kornflake's home state of New Hampshire. Our first stop was Funspot, a giant amazing arcade packed with dozens of classic video and pinball games from decades ago. Alas, there was no Swimmer or Donkey Kong Junior. But there was plenty of Frogger, Dig Dug, Tron, Gorf, Donkey Kong (as seen in the movie The King of Kong), Crazy Kong (a weird alternate version of Donkey Kong), and just about everything else. Get yourself a billion tokens and spend the day. Our next stop was... a Journey concert. Because Journey is awesome. Just admit it to yourself and move on. And we have a friendly reminder that FuMPFest (our favorite funny music convention) is almost here (August 26-28 in Chicago), and Kornflake will be there with Dementia Water Aerobics! Get your tickets and room reservations now, kids! Also: It's Kevin Smith's birthday, and we're encouraging everyone to celebrate by shutting up, just like Silent Bob.

Main Topic: The OSI Challenger series of computers   At this point in the podcast run, we are still in the late 1970’s time frame, and the OSI machines fall into that time frame for their release.  No vintage computer historical journey would be complete without including these very important machines.  As usual, we’ll cover the history, technical specs, peripherals, Web sites, books, emulation and much, much more.  I am joined by special guest host Terry Stewart of the Classic Computers website who will help me cover these machines.  In addition, we are joined by OSI aficionados Mark Csele and David Fenyes who share their first-hand memories of the OSI.  But first, I’ll cover new acquisitions, news, and feedback before diving into the OSI.   Links Mentioned in the Show:   New Acquisitions/What I’ve Been up to TI-99 Extended BASIC Suite cartridge - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-Basic-v2-7-Suite-Cartridge-/231378985072 Microsoft BASIC II for the Atari 8-bit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Microsoft_BASIC CoCo SDC SD Card Interface for the TRS-80 Color Computer - http://cocosdc.blogspot.com/   News CSDB intro competition - http://csdb.dk/event/?id=2286 Ben Heck’s Apple 1 Replica - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwO8CTSLTkiiDKhVfiUXyuzfbHMPOYVPj VCF East 10.0 - http://www.vintage.org Donkey Kong Junior for C64 - http://csdb.dk/release/?id=134342 Another Apple-1 Goes for Auction - http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/03/us-auction-apple-idUSKBN0IN0ZX20141103 Atari: Game Over Movie - http://video.xbox.com/movie/atari-game-over/4B8575C6-BD05-48E8-92C9-C61BA57E8025 C64 Reset Magazine - http://reset.cbm8bit.com/   Ads COMPUTE!

I worked on my Donkey Kong Junior in the morning, I also talked about my friend James' technique for removing black paint from arcade side art on his Killer Instinct he recently got, Here is his youtube video.
