Cabinet Information

Cabinet design similar to Nintendo games of the same era.

Conversion

Easily swappable with Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior boardset is similar in design to the aforementioned titles, but the sound hardware is different. I believe it uses the same sound chip as used in the NES home console system.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Common - There are 83 known instances of Donkey Kong 3 owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project. Of these, 38 of them are original dedicated machines, 10 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 35 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 59,767 machines (3,520 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 28 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There are 7 VAPS members currently looking for Donkey Kong 3.

For Sale - There are 2 VAPS members with Donkey Kong 3 machines for sale. There are 2 VAPS members with extra Donkey Kong 3 circuit boards for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because 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. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

This is the only time Stanley (the main character) appears in any Nintendo games.
