I have a tendency to dismiss all news on april 1st but there do seem to be some real gem news items out there. The Color Coco is one amazine piece of 8 bit machinery. Not popular over here in the Netherlands but very impressive. I need to check out the Coco game library and see if the PAL machine is any good.
On the c64 DK games, there´s two versions of DK for the C64 out there, a very old and slow one with great graphics by Nintendo itself. Perhaps it runs faster on NTSC machines but on PAL machines it´s just a tad to slow to be really enjoyable. It does make the game too easy in fact.
And a version done by Ocean with a lot blockier graphics but faster gameplay. I do tend to like the Nintendo release better.
