Homebrew DKBros. 2 Player co-op Donkey Kong

[admin]

DK Bros. has been released by the developer 10yard. It has been a long time in the making!

DK Bros. is a two player co-op hack of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. It maintains all the original gameplay mechanics. Two players working together simultaneously smashing barrels, collecting items and pulling rivets.

This release comprises of a program wrapper, romhack and a LUA plugin for MAME. It is all bundled into a convenient and ready to play ZIP package. You just need to provide your own "dkong.zip" rom file.

Features

• 2 players are controlled independently in the same game.
• Each player gets their own hammers, and they can be smashed together
• The last player to take a hammer gets barrel control and retains control until the other player takes a hammer. The barrels change colour when P2 has the steering.
• Pulling rivets is fun with 2 players sharing the task. The fireballs spawn in a calculated safe position for both players.
• If one player completes the stage then both players complete the stage together but the player completing the stage gets the bonus points - unless you finish exactly at the same time.
• Both players accrue points independently but there is a combined score displayed in the centre.
• If one player dies then both players die.
• There are 7 lives shared between both players.
