Funking marvelous. Just as I remember it only with slightly sharper visuals and strengely enough better audio. Only played it for about 1 hour so far but am enjoying it just as much as I did back in the days of the Snez. Outside of Mario Sunshine it puts all the modern platform games to shame.

Loving it!

WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much collecting.

Banjo and Conker are Rare's best 3D platformers... and Conker's more a mix.

In the original he was the best!

A REALLY fast throw (throws actually DID something in that game) and that wind-up punch could take out all 3 opponents in one go if you got the time right.

After Melee, the original is too slow to enjoy but I'll never enjoy Melee like I enjoyed the N64 classic. The same game is never as much fun the second time round.

And then Donkey Kong 64 came out and SUCKED!

:-D


But Donkey Kong ruled in Smash Brothers. Joint best character with Link and Samus. Wasn't that good in Melee though.

Donkey Kong Country is the single reason I'm a Nintendo fan boy.

When asked "Do you want an N64 or Playstation chris" I replied "Nintendo are the ones with Donkey Kong".

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
