Why does this Donkey Kong bootleg seem like a creepy pasta? Like there's no music where there should be. Fucked up music in other places. The environment is all fucked. There's what sounds like gunshots constantly going off. The colors are washed out and off-putting.

I genuinely thought for a moment you were being facetious but then I actually watched the video and I will never doubt you again holy crap that's creepy as hell
@Nine fucking ikr!? Also apparently there's a bunch of DK bootlegs specifically made to be dropped into Galaxian cabinets and hardware. I kinda wanna do a deep dive and see what's up with that.

Jeez arcade bootlegging is a trip! There's something you miss with emulation there I guess, because the idea of just... Taking an existing cabinet, slapping another paint job on it and pulling out part of the board or replacing a particular couple of chips with a third party one to get a whole new game is like... Kinda cool??? Like "shit we can't afford to get this new arcade cabinet, but nobody plays this old one, buy a cheap knock-off!"
@fillertrack
I mean I played a couple romsets of bootlegs and the few I played are largely immateriality different? But it's just a romhack effectively at that point.
