Read every word -- it's a wonderful pair of stories and I look forward to what the Sunday Cabaret will offer in the future! I always sucked at Donkey Kong, but my brother was an ace. That's how I knew about the elevator and conveyor levels (which were not in the lame 2600 port)

Speaking of lame 2600 ports, that reminds me to announce next week's feature is DOUBLE DRAGON. |

An old hint book covering 16 arcade games told me that in the arcade version of Donkey Kong, barrels will not come down a ladder if Jumpman is on it and his head touches the platform above (but obviously not too far so you don't collide with the barrel rolling down the platform). I can't vouch for the accuracy of this on arcade versions as I've never played one, but I can report it does not work on the Commodore. Ow.

Not true in the arcade version either. |

Another small error:
