I've loved Nintendo games for decades, ever since I first saw Donkey Kong in the arcade in the early 1980s. Years before the NES, I wanted to play Mario and Donkey Kong games at home, and that was possible for some thanks to Atarisoft on home computers and Coleco for video game consoles. However, one favourite game wasn't available for my Commodore 64: Donkey Kong Junior. Or was it? One day a friend gave me a copied disk that promised to fulfill my dream, but instead it robbed me of 8-bit bliss for hours, days, maybe even years due to a cruel, mysterious, and suspicious password protection scheme. Join me as I use my Super Snapshot machine language monitor to get to the bottom of this mystery.
