Will this guy EVER cease to amaze the CoCoCommunity??
John 'Sock Master' Kowalski has ported Donkey Kong to the CoCo3. Actually, ported may not be the correct phrase. What he has done is create an emulator that runs on the CoCo3, and actually runs the arcade game. And it runs at full speed. You do need a 512k CoCo3, and using the RGB for video gives the best picture, hands down. But, oh what a game!!! Been playing it all day long on the TV (the repack is only 128k right now).
This is truly the best damn port to hit the CoCo evah!!!!
For more info, see Sock Master's site, coco3.com or visit Cris's blog.
Damn good stuff going on in the world of CoCo!!!

That's not exactly true, what Sock did was to rewrite or trans-code the z80 instructions into comparable 6809 code. The Z80 had more registers, so Sock had to, routine by routine, rewrite the same routine in 6809.
