New Music Discovered In Donkey Kong For Arcade
First time accepted submitter furrykef . writes Over 33 years have passed since Donkey Kong first hit arcades, but it still has new surprises. I was poking through the game in a debugger when I discovered that the game contains unused music and voice clips. One of the tunes would have been played when you rescued Pauline, and two others are suggestive of deleted cutscenes. In addition, Pauline was originally meant to speak. In one clip she says something unintelligible, but it may be "Hey!", "Nice!", or "Thanks!". The other is clearly a cry for help.
BREAKING NEWS
-- for immediate release
Over 14 years have passed since Slashdot first hit the Web, but it still has new suprises. I was poking through the website when I discovered that the website contains an unused parallel site called "beta.slashdot.org", every article having a beta and a non-beta version. Is this article supersymmetry? The website's design lets it look like like it is a cry for help in designing the page.
The more you bash video game nostalgia, the more Atari consoles will slip through your fingers...
Holy crap - someone is stil flogging that dead horse known as ogg? I thought it was 2014, not 2004!

Another woman hating game where the "Man" has to save the "Woman in Distress".
Donkey Kong is clearly committing a sex crime as Pauline never gives consent to being ape handled.
I thought you said "treasure", not "weapon"
Have you ever *heard* Yoko Ono's "music"? I have, and yes. It can be classified as a weapon. Or at least an implement of torture.
Any insufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
WHY??????? HTML5 can play audio directly.
Duh, they didn't have HTML5 when Donkey Kong came out.
