(he's right, you know?)
...one of the video games that roamed around my old high school
back in those days was a version of Donkey Kong (with the
name, etc) apparently written by Wayne Westmoreland and
somebody else around 1982.
I have never seen it advertised, sold, mentioned, or even
whispered secretly, and I still think it is the best TRS-80 game
I have seen yet. Does anyone know about it -- its history, who
sold it, when? I am really curious.
For those of you who haven't seen it, it was called
Donkey Kong, and resembled the arcade game in all ways I
could see. It has all four screens (including the
pie shop!) that I think the normal Donkey Kong has, and
apart from a LOT of screen hashing during use, has good
graphics. If it's any help, some hacker had patched his logo
to the start of the game -- the name Doctor Radical appeared
when loaded. I found the program as a CMD file.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
