I love this game. Had to be my first mastered one.
MagicCreatures 27 Mar 2022 22:30
At one time, all of these achievements would've been a piece of cake. Now, not so much. Guess I need to get more practice in!
Dogmeatman 30 Apr 2022 22:28
Great set, thanks! Enough to be challenging and enjoyable but not an endless grind or ridiculously impossible. Mastered after 15 hours of play time!
RetroSprites 30 Jun 2022 17:59
Mastered, levels 5 were very difficult and a bit stressful (especially stage 2 with the trampolines), but after practicing and finding a pattern, everything becomes more entertaining and much less complex. Very good set.
AngryHal123 12 Jul 2022 23:39
Mastered
Chicago73 11 Aug 2022 04:38
Mastered!
henrit 14 Aug 2022 01:20
7th master! :)
Spueb 24 Oct 2022 17:54
My highscore in Game A is about 170.000 but it has not been submitted. Any known bugs?
Mamba219 30 Oct 2022 00:09
Mastered. I felt this set was extremely good. Forced me to really learn the game and improve, but set the bar low enough that it was thoroughly achievable.

Well done.
Furabio 14 Dec 2022 23:51
Mastered. Thank you for the set. that 3 playtrough without dying on Game B was brutal, made me feel like AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd)
TheCom 16 Mar 2023 22:36
Third master, those challenges were super difficult but I feel really good after doing it. Overall awesome set.
MysticFlipFlop 18 Mar 2023 04:43
Mastered, Expert B was intense
MeisterSkielz 18 Mar 2023 21:02
Finally Mastered, very fair set, for some reason playing Spark Mandrill's theme from Megaman X during my playthrough gave me a massive skill boost to get to level 5 on Game B
JohnnyMix 25 Apr 2023 13:37
My first ever master! Didn't have much of a problem with this one since I used to speedrun this game haha
MrArchives 2 May 2023 08:26
Phew! Took almost 6 hours, mainly because Invincible II was a pain, but getting past it, actually feeling the sense that you understand and know the game is very satisfying! My first mastery! Absolutely worth it!
ChippiHeppu 2 May 2023 16:45
Mastered! Billy Mitchell better watch out...
ohluki 29 Jun 2023 15:51
First master! I'd love to never see the springs or fire foxes ever again.
Fazz2087 30 Jul 2023 18:22
First game I mastered when discovering this website. I'm loving the challenges to otherwise less looked at NES titles like this one.
Aros2k 1 Aug 2023 13:32
Wow.
I have completed all the other home versions of DK on the site and while the Amstrad is the best one of those, this one is another level. The jumping mechanics and everything about the game is just fantastic compared to all the other ports. This, Amstrad, 7800, Coleco I would probably rate as the order.

After playing through all the others (and the unbelievably bad/hard MSX version last) it seemed my DK skill had gone through the roof when playing this version with reasonable difficulty! Really really enjoyed this after all the others first!

This was a great set, thank you dev.

master #2. took me a while, about 5hrs, but it was worth it. excellent challenges. great set :)
