Game Introduction

This game uses a modified Donkey Kong Junior boardset that plays both Donkey Kong Junior and Donkey Kong on a single PCB set. No special wiring is required and no special switches are needed! Toggle between the games by simply pressing both the player-one and player-two start buttons at the same time. Instantly the game will reset and switch to the other game.

CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,451 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,703 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 60,890 machines (3,615 unique titles).

Uncommon - There are 19 known instances of this machine owned by Double Donkey Kong collectors. Of these, 15 of them are original dedicated machines, 3 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and it is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 12 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for Double Donkey Kong.

This game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them even though arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses, while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
In particular, since VAPS started out focusing on videogames, statistics for other types of machines should not (yet) be an indication of scarcity.
For a clue to value, look at absolute numbers of owners and potential owners above, compare a ratio of how many people want this game vs. how many people have this game (11%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

The PCB can easily be configured to powerup in either IDonkey KongI mode or IDonkey Kong JuniorI mode by moving a single jumper.

Trivia

The IDonkey KongI walking and jumping sounds have a slightly higher pitch than the original game and the pounding sound during the introduction of the game is slightly distorted. It is not easily noticible unless you have an original board set nearby to compare too.
