Retro saturdays and donkey kong land 2

Unlike donkey kong land 1 which had sluggish gameplay and a different map, donkey kong land 2 was a scaled down semi port of donkey kong country 2 with the tight physics

At the time of it's release it was a big deal and an impressive graphical game for the gameboy. The gameboy pocket was a new system and lots of stores had a silver gbp wired to a tv screen with donkey kong land 2. I played it so much that I still have the music from the 1st level stuck in my head

I would later buy my own copy in 1999 at kb toys at the whittwood mall. This memory has stayed in my mind all these years. I had $50(that was a lot of money to a little kid back then) so me and my dad and my brother rode our bikes to the mall and I went on a shopping spree at kbtoys

I got donkey kong land 2(it was $20 as it was a players choice title) and spice girl lollipops and a sea monkey kit and a egm2 magazine. I still have that dkl2 and it still holds up well as those times I was a little kid with my future ahead of me
