Tahrey: O Lawd XD
pahahahahaha

I can take no credit other than for changing SomethingAwful's classic ... uh ... "lyrics" (for want of a better word)

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Tahrey: Also is it wrong that I now want to see the two of them doing the robot in full animation thanks to your efforts

Tahrey: (Posting that... "Katiafication"? Was itself inspired by someone else IIRC ... how deep does the rabbit hole go?)

The_Pitiful_Writer: @Tahrey:

Well I am afraid that I cannot do animation, so my services stop here. :P I also cringe pretty hard now that I look at the drawing in daylight.. It maaay have been 3 am when I drew it. I remember little of the process.

Tahrey: It's alright, I've seen worse published in newspapers :D

Though, surely there are enough people here that someone may get bored and decide to show off their flash skills...

(last time I did any computer animation, other than using a morphing program, it was probably on the Atari ST using Cyberpaint...)

The_Pitiful_Writer: @Tahrey: Ahah. xD Well I have even less faith in newspapers now then! I got a neat tablet around early January, and had never really done the whole drawing thing before then other than quick doodling here and there, so I pretty much float on the whole "F you all, I don't actually know how to do this"-cloud for most of the things I post. Still, glad to hear it isn't a COMPLETE trainwreck nontheless. :P Bored people with flash skills sounds like the best plan until then. And kudos to you for owning an Atari! :D

Tahrey: lol... more my parents' fault, though I did badger them for that brand (...as there was an 800 at school which had Donkey Kong on it ... don't think we ever did get a version of that for the ST).

And hey, you went to the effort of doing it, in a suitable style, and captured it quite well, so chin up.

Tahrey: (oh aye, and, hence the username, which I've had for a lllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time now, like the better part of 20 years... don't tell anyone :D)

Tahrey: (weirdest thing is, I found out only a couple years ago - like during the fading part of the arab spring - that it's also a girl's name in arabic...)

The_Pitiful_Writer: @Tahrey: Donkey Kong was the shiz. Even if I grew up closer to the SNES generation.

That said, it took me waaay longer than it should to get the link between Tahrey and Atari. XD That's what you get for overthinking things I guess. :I Thanks for the thumbs up! I promise that I won't let anyone know your secret that you just shared on an open message board.

MetalC0Mmander: @The_Pitiful_Writer: There was the Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the SNES and it's pretty damm awesome.

Tahrey: You're like about the sixth or seventh person to actually figure it out, weirdly. My dad thought it was something written backwards back when I actually shared non-realname internet handles with IRL people, and he's the one who bought the damn computer...

Also, I haven't tied !realname to it here (it may be guessable, but I'd ask that you don't try, as it's not going to be of interest in any case) so there's that...

You know the hardest thing has actually been trying to come up with some kind of surname to use with it that doesn't sound completely shit?

Anyway...
@MetalC0Mmander: Slight problem there in that the SNES was made by Nintendo, not Atari. And was an early 90s games console not a mid 80s home computer.

*finally gets around to googling after all these years*

Hm, seems there's a couple of unofficial conversions ("Kid Kong" and "Monkey Business") that are reasonably well known, but no official conversion. Such was the fate of a lot of early 80s arcade games, they got conversions to the 8-bit platforms but after the console crash everyone assumed 16-bit computer users wouldn't be interested in owning, much less buying conversions of those older games, so your only recourse was often to quite poor, copyright-flauting public domain or shareware versions. But, hey, anything's better than nothing.

Finally got to replay the A800 version at a retro-tech and chiptune music fest a couple years ago, and it's still a damn good version of the game, even with the limited resolution and so-on. Very playable. Tough as nails but the controls are spot on even though you have to use a squidgy VCS joystick.
