Ah, the beauties of DMCA exemptions. The Internet Archive has one and has used it to make available over forty gibibytes (2^30 bytes) of classic games from the twentieth century including, I am told, SEGA Saturn games. But that many bytes represents a lot of games to comb through so I can't say for sure.

Even better, you don't need to play hunt-and-seek with emulators, as the Internet Archive is providing a JavaScript-based port of MESS/MAME called JMESS to run in your Web browsers to try out any of the software. It's not flawless, but it gives you a good idea if you want to download the game to try it on a more full-fledged emulator.

Speaking of consoles, how about a small sampling from some of the systems included? Highlights include the Atari 2600, Atari 7800 ProSystem, ColecoVision, Magnavox Odyssey 2, Astrocade, SEGA SG-1000, and Emerson Arcadia. Game highlights include Girl's Garden by Yuji Naka and even Jr. Pac-Man. Get your Pac on!

Though it is said the game is light on content, it still seems to have plenty of the character dialogue and interactions which have made the series so popular with its fans. The portions with the Servbots are as entertaining as ever, particularly their continued efforts to stop MegaMan and the bit about getting a big reward from Miss Tron. -Nz17

In 2002, Carl Mueller Jr. starting working on a faithful version of DK for the Intellivision, and it's finally done and available for purchase! The game includes all 4 levels, intermissions, and the ability to play as different characters! The folks at Mattel were right - Coleco could have done a better job. [ Link ]
