Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The first game beat I was 6 or 7. I wasn’t supposed to play it- it was “dad’s”. But that shiny, golden cartridge was too hard to pass up.
(Yes I beat Zelda before he did. Also got caught when I told him how to beat water temple.)
My dad got really sick one time when I was a kid. He was at home for a couple weeks. He started playing Donky Kong 64 on our Nintendo 64. He beat the game, got better and went back to work, and never played another video game ever again. He wouldn't even tell me how to beat it. It took me forever.
DK64?
I’m so sorry you couldn’t have played the OG DK…. So much better….
Considering you have to play the original to complete DK64, they probably did.
(Not only that but you have to be really good at playing the original. With an N64 pad, too!)
That wasn’t quite the original. There were a few distinctions that made the OG arcade better.
One of them was reducing the extra life’s.
It was the original, but starting from a higher (possibly the highest?) difficulty level and, as you say, with only one life. But yes, it's not quite the same experience as if you just rocked up to your average cabinet in 1981.
Either way, the two games are so wildly different that I don't see much value in comparing them directly
