well,like i said to,sum one earliar there completely diff and 20 years apart DK was one of the first 50 games

actually think dk started out on the atari and was one of the first arcade game they came out with so its not just a classic its pretty well mummified

good point

DK is about 20 years old. But CT is about 17 years old. DK coming out in the late 80's I think and CT coming out in the Early 90's. If you really think about theya re close in year and that doesn't say much. If your saying it'll win because it's newer you are dead wrong. Personally, I would rather play CT then Mass Effect, or play Lufia 2 then Final Fantasy 7-9.

Just because of the age doesn't mean it's better or people will choose it over another game thats older. It just happens to be that DK got old fast, after the first few levels you would get tired of jumping over barrels, and climbing ladders to reach a monkey that would always run away. CT had many hours of playability in a story that is in depth and gives you characters you love to see.

Gogo's right, if you had wanted something w/ less repetitiveness you could have gone for one of the newer DK games where they were more like platform games than old school arcade

Actually that says alot, in 3 years many things change, like 3 years ago im going to say in 2004 just because its so early in 2008,

we didnt have great graphics like games have now such as, COD4 and M.E.
ect.

a few years go along ways as far a tecnology is concerned. i grew up playing DK and galaga and they kicked ass =)

yes I'll agree with you that now that is a big leap in gaming, especially w/ the games system's lifespan being about 3-4 years before the new one comes out, but late 80's early 90's, it wasn't such a big deal, the graphics and system power was still pretty much static, it was more a matter of designer innovation back then instead of letting the hardware carry your game, nowadays we still have a lot of designer innovation, look at the wii for example, but there are a dozen games put out every month that are lackluster, their only claim to fame being that the system capabilities are making it look better than the game actually is, now when you take into account the fact that Donkey Kong came out in 1981 and Chrono Trigger was in 1995 which leads to a much larger gap in system capabilities b/c one was Nintendo and one was Super Nintendo, going from what 8bit to 16bit, not a big deal by today's standards, but big enough back then, plus they had 13 years to learn how to make the game look better, but let's get back to the brass tacks, where this debate should have been from the very beginning, we aren't talking about what years they were made in, as someone pointed out already some older games are better than newer games, so age shouldn't really be an issue although I can see how some ppl might see it that way, when you get down to it, the only real question here is which one did you like to play more, that's it, not really a hard question to answer
