DONKEY KONG

· HIDDEN MESSAGE: The programmer initials will appear in the bonus score box if you do a certain combination of moves, but he doesn’t recall how to trigger them.

· Programmer Landon Dyer states that the release version isn’t the final version he worked on, which corrected some minor glitches such as the Mario bug (listed below).

· BUG: When Donkey Kong opens his mouth there are 2 stray pixels in it – one blue and one orange (picture #1).

· BUG: When certain objects (such as barrels) pass in front of a ladder, the ladder can still be seen (picture #2).

· BUG: If you get to level 10 or higher, a level number won’t be shown.

· BUG: When Mario dies, the character graphics overlap each other.
