Perhaps the sound emulation isn't quite correct. Crazy Kong (bootleg on Galaxian hardware) is close - but lacks the punchy base of the correct version. Maybe someone should get a hold of this guy and see if he can dump the roms. Just listen to when Mario jumps and dies and also the springs on the elevator stage you can hear the difference. Well in the video the sound is clearly different from big kong in mame. In this case, the version of CK you remember so fondly has not had its ROMs dumped, so we obviously can't support it. MAME runs the actual program and data from the original machine. > implementing this as I don't think it was unique to just a couple of boards. > Thinking I had imagined it, I trawled YT recently and now found a version that Re: Crazy Kong - Correct Sound For All Variants? Perhaps consideration could be given to implementing this as I don't think it was unique to just a couple of boards.
Thinking I had imagined it, I trawled YT recently and now found a version that matches the sound that I remember. When playing the MAME versions of CK, I searched for this particular tune and could never find it.
One thing I recall quite clearly was the audio. I remember playing various bootlegs of Crazy Kong in the arcades of Birmingham, England in the 1980's. The History of How We Play is a blog dedicated to the examination of video games, run by Ethan Johnson.Crazy Kong - Correct Sound For All Variants? Usually the improvement would be small, such as adding a dedicated soundchip (which Namco was also soon to do with their 1980 line-up, including Pac-Man). Nichibitsu had Moon Cresta, Konami had The End, and Taito would release Phoenix, all minor upgrades to the concept and hardware. Nichibitsu’s Moon Alien Part 2 and Irem’s Uniwars were more or less simple palette swaps, but steadily these licensees began to explore their own takes with this new hardware.
Immediately after the first Galaxian sublicenses appeared, games which built on the Z80-based sprite system used in that game quickly followed. While there was no particular indication that they could use the basic hardware in their own creations, imitation of the Galaxian board would become a cornerstone of the Japanese video game industry from that point forward. All of these companies had started in video games making Breakout style games and all of them would take their experience manufacturing Galaxian to heart. Among them were Nichibitsu, Irem, and Konami. These companies included the bigwigs, Taito and Sega, but they too went to the smaller manufacturers.
