Nintendo seems to have given up on having their games on other systems, though. -The Flying Fish  --------------- Dopefish Lives! swim swim hungry swim swim hungry Dwell on the Past | Dopefish Central |

| Guest Posts: n/a | Donkey Kong ports were done before Nintendo had their NES system, and they sold the rights to the game, they never developed it. The CD-i Mario Hotel game is the result of a lawsuit with Philips, with Nintendo giving them the lisence to develope games based on their characters. The PC games are the result of a lisence given to an "edutainment" company. No competetion. _____________________ Visit the Video Game Trivia Forum and take part in the open game, Mario trivia!

PC games are notoriously easy to copy, distribute, and use. |

But that is Donkey Kong.. Mario oriented though. LoL [ July 25, 2003, 02:29 AM: Message edited by: Toad_87 ] |
