Chip Channel 4 - No Country For Old Kongs

Pixelfaded

Good evening listeners! This week’s Chip Channel is all about Donkey Kong Country, the original SNES trilogy. We pay homage to David Wise (DKC 1, 2 and 3), John Beanland (DKC 1) and Eveline Fischer’s (DKC 1 and 3) enduring masterpiece. Donkey Kong Country holds a special place in many gamers’ hearts, both as a technological wonder of the mid 90s and as an emblem of VGM. As one of those fans, Andrei takes us through Donkey Kong Country’s genesis as a game, and through the meteoric rise of David Wise, from part-time freelancer to full-time legend. Tune in for some jungle beats and tell us about your favorite DKC tunes!
