Donkey Kong (game): Difference between revisions
I changed the release dates, anything that wasn't on an NES console didn't seem to have easily findable, verfiable release dates beyond their release years. I have added a source for the Atari 2600 and Intellivision release dates, and more port facts.
(I changed the developers and publishers section. Arcana Software Design and Sentient Software were credited in Ocean's published Donkey Kong games, ITDC was credited as developing the Atari 7800 version in the manual. Theres two Ataris too, long story!) |
